2018 OFFICIAL Vancouver-Howe Sound-Sechelt Reports Thread

[Limitles]

Check the test fisheries results for the Fraser river at Albion or W.onnock.. that will give you an idea what is passing through the river mouths

Can any one provide a report on fishing success with the Sox today....... Wanting to hit the Fraser mouth soon.
I always report when out so......... Hope others do too. It's a long expensive haul for us and don't want to waste our time if there just not there hitting yet. I've always found our best Sox success later in Aug. 10th on and into Sept.
Thanks for your help in advance

I know everyone is chomping at the bit here... but the fish will be here when they're here. Let's all sharpen our hooks, tie our leaders and wait with great anticipation for the great "2018 Battle of Sandheads" Nerka's versus the world!

Thanks... I'm on my way out lol

Has anyone ventured out to the hump this week? Wondering if the fish have moved off from there?

There's a report upthread from someone who did quite well earlier in the week-fish are around.

 

[sir-vivor]

Yup that's how much this can be trusted

Fished the bell bouy area around point grey from 730 am to 1pm. One small spring and that's it. Lots of fish on the sounder but not ones that were interested in what I had to offer.

A good friend once said” Go and make your own reports” so that’s what I’ll do ,,,not relying on reports to guide my fishing choices

Someone has to be the pioneer!
Looking forward to your report.
Some of us are relying on you now!
Thanks Cammer!

In 2014, my best Sockeye Combo was an OKi Green Jelly Kinetic Striper flasher (88KINSTR) with a MP015 squirt on 3/0 red gamakatsu hooks. This combo out fished all others. YMMV.

Damn. I’m trying to google image “mp015 squirt” to see what it looks like! Lol
Not what I expected!

Try mb...lol I see. # 15 micro squid narrows it down some

Lol too funny

 

[cohochinook]

Was out in the nasty south east wind yesterday off T-10 and S arm. Hooked 4 sockeye. Not red hot but there's few around if you want to scratch one up. I'd say in another week to 10 days we'll have better numbers.

 

[UsedBoat]

I'm out Sunday morning, will report on the water.

 

[Red Monster]

Here are the soc squirts as requested.

Ah, thanks Red Monster. I find using the actual number code is the best way to describe a lure or colour pattern. The branding and local namesakes for various colours can confuse people. I still don't know what a 'derby winner' is, but finally figured out what a pink sink was.
