I've seen alot of baby salmon with every treble in the mouth, then I've used 1/o hooks oct for smaller spoons and 2 inch buzzbombs with alot of smaller fish hooked thru the brain, siwash on bigger spoons have not hooked alot of baby salmon for me from shore but I generally dont cast to large of spoons from shore. just got some saltwater plugs for casting to bluefish/stripers from shore to see how they do this season for salmon. I fish from shore/piers about 5 days a week and still believe 1/4 oz 3/0 jigs and flies are the most fish friendly and productive anyway. small single hooks that can't gaff them little fish are alright too.
