What is the best bait to catch a salmon?

Answer 1

Catching a salmon is just like catching any other fish - you'll need a fishing rod, and a lure, you may need a net once the fish is caught to get it into the boat. Salmon can be found both in rivers and in the sea depending on the season, and depending on the area you live in. I would check with your local fish and wildlife bureau to get more information because you'll need a fishing license to fish salmon anyway.

Answer 2

Salmon is caught using several different methods.

Hook and line is one method; effected by one fisherman with his (baited) pole.

Another is gillnetting. Gillnetting is placing a net underwater with holes large enough for fish to just swim through; then get their gills caught. This method has a high level of bycatch, which is unintentionally caught fish (or seabirds, turtles, sharks, dolphins, small whales, etc).

When salmon congregate to swim back upstream to where they were born, a purse seine net is used to catch them. A purse seine has weights on the bottom and floaters at the top, also a "drawstring" on the bottom, which pulls the net tight and does not allow the fish to sound (go down).

Salmon are also caught using trolling. Trolling is when a boat has many lines with bait and hooks. The boat moves slowly through the water, and fish like striped bass, tuna, salmon and sharks chase the bait and bite the hook.

Bears have historically (some say from pre-historic times) caught salmon by hand (paw).
