I thought the fresh ones I ate the other day tasted great! And catching them on my little trout rod with 8lb line is a lot of fun.

This is a terrible way of looking at things. Its reeks of being spoiled. Pinks are great fun on the fly or light weight tackle. When caught fresh and smoked they taste great and just the perfect size.
Could not agree more, they are delicious BBQed and they won't dry out because they are slightly more oily than the others. This is also why you don't want to freeze them. Try them with a sprinkle of brown sugar, coarse salt, and a sprinkle of terriaki sauce or soy.

I think pinks are wonderful table far but my wife hates them and has banned me bringing any home  :'(

Its too bad because I have only ever brought back the brightest and best fish straight out of the tidal sections.   I guess I will just have to bring them back for myself.

You married guys!

I think everyone should get married once, though.

Hey..at least we don't have any little kids but it has to be said marriage does limit my ability to fish whenever I like.  Fortunately  she does give it a go with me when she thinks there is a chance of catching a sockeye or a coho - just the pinks she objects to for some odd reason. [..sometimes she does better than me..its not *THAT* bad]

I also use to release all pinks as I never got to appreciate their mild flavour.
Nowadays I do retain pinks if they are chrome, doe and over 5 lbs in size.
The bigger does seems to have a delicate flavour and make excellent table fare.
The pink I caught today had peachy coloured flesh and was delicious cooked in Japanese style with soya souce and vegetables. Yummm.... :)

Is it still worth making a trip down to Squamish for a fish or are they pretty much done now?

Just a note that Squamish River pink salmon retention is now closed.

http://www-ops2.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/xnet/content/fns/index.cfm?pg=view_notice&lang=en&DOC_ID=135153&ID=recreational

I was going to ask if the Squamish River was ever open above the confluence with the Chek as that notice you posted says the Squamish and tribs are now closed but the Chek, Mam, and Squamish (below the Chek) remain open.  However, I see that they posted another update that clarifies that they are all closed.

Was the BB fisherman using a rod holder?  I have seen a sturgeon caught a Brownsville, but only from people bar fishing with roe.  Bottom Bouncing (BB) is impossible at brownsville bar.  The current is way too slow.  I think the poster does not know the difference between bar fishing and BB.  Its easy for newbs to get their terms mixed up.
