Well, there are fish being taken everywhere from the Mile Markers to Sandheads. Find your own real estate and fish.

Thanks tips...just sayin that I miss the chatter.

Thanks tips...just sayin that I miss the chatter.

Used to be some nuggets which would hit the airwaves here and there.

Would this thread now be called chatter?...quite a bit of BS here If I do say so myself

Was out from 3 to 6:30. Hit a 16 pound red just past the bell before I even had the second rod in the water. Moved to the North Arm and hit a 18 pound white. My partner in crime landed both.

There are a couple of Chinook hiding around sandheads if you look hard enough.
Bright red meat, amazing Fraser River slabs.
40', anchovies, lighthouse glo teaser heads, blue or chartreuse flashers, a bit faster than usual.

One heavy 15 sec fight last night past the Bell , i was ready to pull the gear and head to the North arm but i figured stick it out and wait for a wave of
fish ,didn't happen.

So what time did it turn on today?

Talked to a buddy at sandheads. Went 3-5 decent springs. Said bite turned on at 5 30 for an hour.
Heading out first thing tomorrow. Hope to find a morning bite

It was on fire for us today from 5:30 until dark. Anchovies, shallow, in close. Much less Jack's, only 1 twerp and 6 for 8 on the springs, 12-19#

Ended up hooking 6 decent fish at Sandheads from 3:00-6pm. 4 spat the hook like seasoned vets, 2 in the box. 1 high twenties, 1 mid teens. Both reds which was nice.

All in 150' water, chovies, shallow. Beautiful night for a troll.

First solo mission saltwater fishing from 4-8 and managed a mid teens red by the Bell at 5:30 on the flood. Used some advice picked up here to keep turning on the fish to keep it away from the other rod and after a couple decent runs it laid over on its side at the boat and floated right into the net. Didn't have any bait brined, but the no bananas skinny g pulled through once again. Rest of the night was weeds and shakers. Going out tomorrow first thing and hitting up the mouth of the Fraser.

First trip out local yesterday,started at the bell and it was pretty choppy. Hooked/landed 2 mid teen springs and released one fat sockeye. Lots of small springs and a wild coho all released quickly. Bite turned on around 2. Moved over to north arm and a couple small springs. Did see a couple landed. Beauty day on the water.
