Fished it in Sept for salmon, I've only been able to catch small ones all under 12" by the drop offs. Gona try again soon and
Maybe go deeper and troll more. I get them on small spoons.

I've been curious of any salmon catches from Waywayanda also..They a really tough fish to try to establish in new waters..Also I wonder if NJ anglers can tell the difference between salmon and Brown Trout..They do tend to resemble each other..

Nah piece of cake..
Browns have more pigment... They have hues of gold, orange, brown, and red spots mixed with black.. they also have a LOT more spots than Salmon, especially below the lateral line.. Look at pictures.. landlocks have very few spots compared to a brown, and almost NO spots below the fishes lateral line..

Salmon are shiny silver and black, period.. Browns are much more,, well.. BROWN..

Silvery, with few spots on lower body= salmon
Brown/gold/silver with lots of black and red spots that extend to the belley area = brown trout... bob

FWIW - I caught a salmon at Aeroflex about 2 years ago. He was about 15" and hit a white rooster tail on a dipsy at about 20 feet deep. No pic since I wanted to get him back in the water and revived asap. I hear rare reports from YOJ Sports of people catching them there.

Bullet Bob: I agree in part on your color assement between the 2 species, Browns do have more pigmentation as far as spots go when freshly stocked..But catch a few that have held over a year or 2 and those beautiful red and blue spots have disapeared. They tend to silver outwith less black spots also..Salmon spots seem to have a more snow flake shape not often as round as the brown trout..But as I said earlier not all Jersey fisherman catch many hold over browns especially those that hold 2 or 3 years..But if just talking bout stockies I have to agree with you..
