Had a 5 day trip. I knew it was going to be overall crappy fishing. Salmon fishing has a success ratio of 1 fish to 3 fisherman if even that, I didn't even try.
Instead, I hit the salt water inlets. Could only get these small numerous sculpins, theres a ton of them.
Also got surf perch which was nice.
The funnest was crabbing. The license was onl $11 for 3 days. I didn't do good clamming. The fishing license was $48 and a big waste unless you go chartering. Can't wait to go up again to crab.

The blue on those perch are gorgeous! What did you use to catch them?

I used sand shrimp - a dozen for $4.50.

Those were some unique fish. If only the Great Salt Lake could be less salty we might be able to enjoy such creatures.
The surf perch was super cool! I really liked the blue color on it! Do they taste anything like a yellow perch?

Amen.
You'd think that if brine shrimp can survive in there, that there's gotta to be some sort of fish that could make it in there.

Good times I grew up fishing the Oregon coast and love it. I can't ever remember an unsuccessful day there, with crab, clams, mussels, scallops, and of course tons of different fish species. A few of your sculpin are kelp greenling. Those striped perch arent my favorite eating but they are fun to catch on light gear and are plentiful. If you ever go again hit me up I can fill you in on spots and info that might make the license fee worth the dollars.
