King salmon fishing

I spent a wonderful day yesterday, fishing for wild King salmon outside the Golden Gate, on the fishing charter boat 'El Dorado'. We left the Berkeley docks at 6:00am & returned early with limits of beautiful King salmon. I had the added bonus of winning the $100 jackpot for catching the biggest fish of the day, 30lbs. I also caught a 20lb'er for a cool 50lbs of fresh wild salmon. They will fillet them for you when they reach the dock. I took home about 25lbs of fillets. With a market price of $20 a pound, this trip paid for itself. I'm firing-up both the BBQ & the smoker today. Now's the time to go fella's!

looks like a real good day! i was a deckhand for salmon and rockcod seasons in that region for more than 2 years, back when everybody was getting limits every day it was an amazing time. looks like the salmons been coming back strong

Nice pics double, looks like alot of fun

Awesome! Nothing like fresh caught seafood! That's the only time I actually enjoy the taste.

Great catch too, 30lbs is a big fish! Thanks for sharing!
