On a humorous note; I watched a seal surface beside me as another guy in a boat was yelling his head off and singing; the seal was curious and just tacked in on his boat and followed him away from me!. You could hear the Sea lions barking out there, too. Flat calm.

Could be a new line of work for seal huggers.

Was it a party girl spoon?

Kitchen sink spoon, not sure flasher color.

He also used it to catch two more!! Lol

 

[Totally unexpected]

Anyone out today. Sandheads or north arm report?

 

[Alison2]

North arm. 2 nice ones in the boat and lost 3 in the last hour. 200’ and 35 - 45 on the riggers. Usual set ups.

At sand heads got sealed on a nice one half hour ago. Just brought in a small wild coho

Sorry my last post was total for the day took home a 13lbs as well. Biggest was 37” 24” girth at about 23lbs. Turned out to be marbled. Seems the best depth is shallow from the post above 30-60. 71 got this one

Two power hours today between 10 and 12. Fishing off T10 offshore of the pack in about 400’ riggers at 60 and 70. Three nice springs all on Chovy and blue and chrome teaser and too many Pinks now to count. After that it died off for springs for us.

We got a late start and didn’t get to t10 until 1:00 or so. Agreed, It was pretty slow and didn’t see many nets out. We picked up a nice spring on the troll south. Lost a couple nice fish. A couple pinks. My wife had one that most likely sealed because of how fast the line was screaming off. I just lost one at the boat because it didn’t go to the side I wanted it too.....

 

[cohojohnny]

NA 18 lb red and two pinks. Lost 8-10 lb at boat. All at 70’ today. Around 200’ of water. Maybe because it’s hot weather. Action was right at low slack.
Great weather today.
Freighter almost capsized a few boats.

Ended up with two nice reds at north arm within and hour of the tide change this morning all on anchovies. Released several pinks and small springs. Around noon one hard hit and we could see the fish going from side to side, then we saw a seal get it. New to this scenario we weren't sure what to do. We chased the seal for 5 minutes as my wife tried to whack it on the head with the ore. At least we didn't loose the gear.

My first time being sealed today too. I tried palming the reel, got my knuckles bruised and broke the leader. At least I got my flasher back

Anyone heading out tomorrow? Looks like it will be fairly windy

 

[Blueback]

Myself and my 12yo will be out there at SH for the morning bite.

 

[Manolaki]

North Arm and T10 this afternoon between 4 and 7. Absolutely dead, no hits, no nets out, no porpoises, no seals, no birds. What the hell happened?

I'll be out, finally. Shoving off around 730. Wind looks fine for the morning. I'll be sticking around T10 and North.

I hope that site is more accurate, at least for tomorrow. Check out this site https://www.windy.com/?49.164,-123.489,10,m:e1dacJz
It's not looking as good but I may still head out. I found that this site has been more accurate for me for the past month. windfinder sometimes underestimates the wind speeds.

Heading out from lgm soon as they open the gates. Not too concerned...seems fishable.
