What does that mean? Why are they so angry at much smaller fish? I thought they would aggressively feed in preparation for their run.

As for spots, is it too early in the season to even attempt to go after salmon this weekend? Perhaps another spot other than the bluffs?

Salmon are possible off of piers if you plan on going this weekend. When staging at the mouths of rivers they hit anything because they feed like crazy right before entering the river as they do not plan to eat once in the river.

However you can get Salmon to strike when in the river. Some \salmon will strike to feed but most of the time they won't. They will most likely strike out of aggression because they don't want anything to eat the eggs once they are layed.
