 I agree 100%. Personally, I just like to grill them on the barbecue. Turns out just fine for them too. Let's talk about coho salmon. When does that bite get hot and when are the biggest ones caught? So early to mid-September is great fishery. Every fish you catch will pretty much be 10 to 15 pounds. I mean, and you can get six times six. So six coho for six people, it ends up being a high quantity of fish.
