    On this trip no live bait, it was very dull trip

    6 Hour Trip (PM) • 3 adults • 1 child

    Don’t go by pics you see of fish caught

    Response from Captain

    im sorry but we do not use live bait for salmon fishing in the lake, and i had recommended in a message to you that the bite wasnt very good in the middle of day and was a first light and last light bite and recommended we go later in the day.

What's biting with Salmonboy Sportfishing – Pulaski in Pulaski

This is one of the best times to go after both Chinook and Coho Salmon. The Salmon run is nearing it's end, so get your lines in the water as fast as possible and observe all the regulations for the area.
