Howe Ave AR HOOKUP Salmon 8 Aug Friday

No, salmon isn't barbless in the river system. Unless you are in a barbless section of river, ie, the American above Arden is barbless.
Howe Avenue is in Sacramento. It's one of the nine public launch spots on the American River.
Google American River Parkway. It will give you the 411.

Ok cool, I am closer to Sacramento compare to Santa Cruz I guess. I live in Tracy. BTW Matt, i've been using my kayak in the ocean. Does somenone inspect my kayak before i go to the river? TIA

Not here anywhere in the Sacramento River system that I'm aware of.

Thank you Matt for showing me around the river today and sharing your salmon fishing tips.
I had a great time!
It was nice meeting everyone.

Matt thank you again. Had a great day and look forward to getting back out there for some stripers or whwn the salmon start rolling.

Hell yeah!
I'll hit u up and let you know.

This is cool. Hope to see you guys out on the river once I get situated and feel comfortable on a kayak.

Revo sx? I just bought a clarus from cabelas. They're on sale for $79-89. Just need to pair it up with a reel. Not interested in paying the price for a curado though haha.

Good job on the pike minnow.  One of the few native fish.  I sight fish for them in my kayak in certain places on the American.  I've seen them up to about 42" or so.

42 would be awesome to catch!

Catch one Scott that has to be a record. I don't know what the record is or how to check but last year someone caught a decent size at melones and glory hole was claiming either state or maybe world record.
