It's going to dump. I think tomorrow will be a good day to get out and get them before they move up.

Just checked the wind. There goes that plan ffs

Doesn't look too bad first thing. I'm going early....last trip of the year for me as the boat's coming out for the winter this week

 

[Marco Polo]

Yep. I'm going out tomorrow early as well for one last stab before the monsoons start.

Hope so....would like to get out another day or 2 at SH if some new fish push in.. Won't go our till the winds and rains let off.. Will report results if I do..

 

[Ringo]

This dump of moisture is timely IMO. Most of the staged fish will be running up river and a push of fresh fish will arrive in first week of October. Next week’s forecast looks promising.

Got into a few coho for the evening bite, was nice and quite not many boats, hitting fish around Ambleside bait and hoochie 50....... and bouncing 70 to 100

 

[Marco Polo]

Well have been out since 7 and had a few decent bites and 1 wild Coho we released A pod of orcas swam through about 12:30 so I’m not expecting much more action now.

 

[Zodiac fisher]

Anybody out? How are the conditions? Planning on heading out but looks like it is supposed to blow up this afternoon.

 

[Normfish]

Was no one fishing today , was so nice out .

 

[Normfish]

Guess everyone is putting their boat away , and hitting the local rivers , for a second chance at them .
I did get out crabbing on that beautiful day yesterday.
Easy limit , and had a killer whale show

Took me 3 days of fishing to get one fish a few weeks ago. So that is making me want to put the boat away. I got my tyee this year so I think that is helpful to that decision. I say go for it next week if you still need some fish for the freezer. I got 4 fish this year from 20lbs-30lbs.

 

[STETO]

We got a marble 15 On Monday afternoon. Tuesday morning there were 35 minutes of non stop bites On both chovie and white hoochie, terminating in losing a +25lb to a seal beside the boat. There was about an hour of no bites and then the pod of 25-35 resident orcas came through so we left sand heads. Back to the gulf for some ling and found a keeper “winter” Chinook as a bonus. Hoping that foreshadows a good winter fishery.

When does fisheries to cap stop producing?

When does fisheries to cap stop producing?

mid to late October depending on how much rain we get.

 

[Reeltime]

I think it will be perfect after today the heavy rains are done, pretty sure this will get that bulk of fish here soon and all next week sun and river drops
just might be a good 2 weeks of fishing... we hope anyways, Cap has a mind of it's own every year the fish always arrive all together or one at a time...

 

[prodjsaig]

You have one week in October then that's it from past trips. You want to be 50-70 feet pull everything you have bait spoons

 

[hippaisland]

Anyone else out for the NV “derby” tomorrow? Going to sneak out of work early and throw the full kit on. @Rain City if your out I like my bacon extra crispy. Kinda hoping the **** weather makes for an easier tack. Will report back tomorrow.
