Was down on Minter with my son and had a fabulous time. Friendly people there, not many snaggers (at least not that I could see). Parked by the hatchery, walked across the bridge and walked about 100 yards down the creek where 1 guy was fishing. My son, age 10, who's the real fisherman of our family, was using a yellow corky and yarn. This was his first experience fishing for chum and was thrilled when he hooked into a 10+ pounder. As he retells the story, "It fought like crazy!" He was so excited. After landing his fish and capturing a couple photos, he was back at it. Soon after, and a couple casts later he hooked into a 8+ pounder. Got 3 in 1 hour then decided that we should go home. Let him do all the fishing. Definitely going there next year.

Have you ever fished the salt out in front of the hatchery?

No, never really fished for salmon much until the last 2 years when my son has become OBSESSED. I don't own a boat and don't know all that much when it comes to fishing for the wide variety of salmon. I noticed your name is "mainer" - so I'm guessing you're from Maine. I grew up there.
