Just wondering if anyone has been fishing in area 29-6 Coalport for sockeye?

Big search and rescue op in the north arm by Mcdonald. Heli, Hovercraft and 5 support boats

When I was returning today around 1 there was a single boat there, they seemed to be intently looking for something.
Body recovery?

Very nice. SA? Going to brave the wave today with some guys from work and want to reward them for their tenacity!

South arm. Pink hootchies. Green kinetic flashers. 2 dummies a side. 80-100 on the rigger.

No expert but based on what I saw yesterday, massive schools swimming along the surface. Jumpers hitting the boat and swim grid, and massive schools on the sounder, I think the biggest push of Adams fish are now here.

Nope! Still good for now in the chuck.

What time were you out?

 

[AB3]

Other than being a bit damp, how is it out there today? Curious if the SE winds are making it bumpy.

It's a Mill Pond at the North arm, 0.5m East waves at t10

 

[el.Pereh]

Fished the south arm 10-4. Got 8, 70 and 80 on the riggers. Bottom rods got all but one. Put the spring gear on around 2 and moved in tight to the green can, 2/4 on springs losing a real nice one on a rookie net job. Springs hit at 20’ and 30’ on chovies. Nice amount of boats out there, not as rough as I anticipated

 

[Crow]

North arm 3-7. Lots of jumpers boxed 7 Sox released a nice 10 pound coho. 200-400’ of water 80-125’ on riggers.

This is with a go fish cam I had on the downrigger... I need to make some more mods because it was attached too closely to the wire so it was going up and down with the waves too much. I'll try with a longer line next time and see if I can get some better footage.
