Yup 6'-7'
Makes for harder netting but I just can't bring myself to go shorter.

Lots of action out there today on the flood tide between noon and three then got quiet for about an hour and picked up again.
Saw lots of boats landing fish especially off the red can.
Just the one 15lb spring for us and lots of pinks.
Had a couple of double headers and a triple as well.
Best September fishing I've seen in years!

Fished from 240pm to 7pm today. Bagged one fish (11.3 lbs, red) near T10 as we just just dropped gear to 70 lb on the rigger in 250 ft of water. Then it went quiet for a while. Had another bite while pulling to check gear for about 4 seconds (reel was screaming, thought it was a seal, maybe it was?) and then it spit it out. Overall it was a slow day but water was flat calm and it was a beautiful day and sunset.

Well I’m glad you guys all had good days yesterday! No spring love for me. Sandheads in and out of the pack from 12-4 yesterday... mostly bait and trying 40-90 on the riggers. Let the boy reel in the pinks and he went 1 for 2. Both were on the surface rod out the back, just with a 12oz weight probably only 20’ down. So not a single hit on the riggers! Days like that make you feel like what the hell is wrong with me. Lol.
But he told his grandpa all night how awesome it was to catch his first salmon so to him I guess it was like a nice spring to me. (Trying to make myself feel better...)

Also very slow for me yesterday. Started at t10 for 2 hours. Nothing going on moved to sandheads. Only one pink at sandheads. Didn’t see many nets out but lots of pinks jumping. Don’t think I saw anyone hooking springs. Moved to the cap for an hour at the flood tide. No action either.

Nothing happening at T10 for us. Sounder looking pretty empty. Trolling south now.

We counted 150 boats within eyesight at Sandheads yesterday!
Our spring was the 2nd we caught in the last couple of weeks on a whitehead squirt!
Forgot to mention while heading out I see a boat heading in and see his net blowing in the wind and realized we forgot our net!! Had to decide if we'd take a chance of gaffing fish or spring for a spare net. Seeing as it was just me and the wife decided to go the new net option...always good to have a second one anyway I figured.
Decided to stop into Pacific Net and Twine in Stevenson and the guy there said I was the third guy in the last two days in the same situation. Gave me $11 discount on an $88 net which he didn't have to so I was much appreciative.
What a great guy and great shop!
Hadn't been there before but will return for sure when I'm in the area.

Had an adventurous morning around UBC. Out there about 8:30am. Had a nice fish on within the first hour but lost it. Then the engine died. Yikes. Spent the next few hours hours floating around. We finally got it going...corroded wire. I’m still on a Ofer for the year! (3 trips) Will keep at it but man my old hobby golf is looking more attractive. Ugg. Next sat morn will be out again. Sounds like you guys are landing lots! It keeps me motivated. Keep at it.
