Water temp can be a key at times when they don't seem to be biting as much. Surface water yesterday was 21C/70F. Pretty darn warm for salmon to spend extended periods of time in. They'll come up and feed at times in warm water but they are gonna spend more time in temps more comfortable for them, then come up to feed. So ya we'll get them at all depths if the bait is at all depths but it's that comfort zone where they will spend more time at. 150 to 180 seemed to be a zone the ones we got into really liked yesterday and that zone had pretty much no bait at it. It just happened to be the zone they were more comfortable at.

Yup very scratchy for any keepers. Lots of bait but the fish seem to moved.

Been bouncing around all morning in the slop and got several that are a couple cms under. Can't seem to find a keeper!

I’d bet the bite will come on more into the flood late afternoon

We decided to shift gears and go for swim. What a day. I'll head back out soon.

About an hour and a half before high slack yesterday up till high slack was the bite yesterday. I would bet it will be about the same today. FYI high slack is around 8 pm out there today.

Thanks for the shoutout, and I wish I could take credit for helping you out, but I’ve been sleeping on my boat for the past week and a half north of Vancouver Island, so pretty sure that wasn’t me!

Tried just north of Polier yesterday, braved the pass for the first time… wasn’t as bad as my head was thinking it would be, but i could see it getting worse in a different tide, weather, etc…
anyhow… couple bites, flat seas and a few massive bait balls down around 120ft… but no fish in the boat…
