You should check your facts before gum flapping personal nonsense.
All these runs have come in strong and we should all be happy... enjoy the opportunity.

Hey 99, I'd recommend running and anchovie on your top rod. Some big slobs in the mix right now too
Thanks ss will do, great to see rec fishers helping each other. We stand stronger as a group .

We try to locate Sox schools. Jumping fish and on sounder. Then adjust to there depth. Yesterday 400ft. Today 500 ft. Down 80 to 100 ft. We went to 2 rods so we can stay on them. We speed up or slow down to make sure our flasher are working. Using 3 old Dodgers on each side for dummies. Hope this helps. Limits last 2 days.
Good luck.

taking today off but fished the north arm the past 3 mornings with fairly easy limits of 8 each morning in about 2 hours. the earliest I got out was 8am and the latest 9 am. most people I know were limiting there with one boat nailing 30 fish yesterday. fished anywhere from 150' deep just south of n arm out to about 600' (mostly 300-400' range) between n arm and iona almost all my fish were caught inside of the pack off on my own or 1 or 2 other boats around. don't stay with the pack or around it unless you see lots of nets out, I found it slower going when I was out with the pack. fishing 2 dummies and 2 rods a side downriggers at 60- 70' mostly, glow heads and google eyes. lots of fish deeper yesterday went down to 120 for a while with success and then back to my 60-70 also with success. schools were showing deeper yesterday. the boat with 30 fish was fishing shallow the whole time though. a friend was just upping lines with his limit of 8 when I arrived yesterday about 8 30 am he got all his at 120' in about 300' water just south west of jetty a long ways inside of the pack. also nice springs mixed in, if you are running out of vancouver i sure don't see the need to waste gas going to the south arm. out again tomorrow morning.

That doesn't include where most of us have been fishing out in the salt. Lame for those in the river tho.

Yep guess I don’t know what I am talking about, any guesses as to why DFO suddenly is closing it? Lol...2010 27 million...2014...18 million....2018 7million....DFO manages our stocks to extinction.
Great to see our local economies prosper off ofthese sockeye, we used to get a sockeye opening almost every year. Relying on a sockeye run every 4 years isn’t the way it should be.
So many communities are being bled dry by DFO **** poor decisions.
Enough of the rant...
Off North arm this am...3 limits by 9am with a couple of wild coho and a spring lost.
Some are starting to get pretty slimy....but wife and kid ain’t complaining!
