Battled with the other 300 boats today at sandheads for most of the day. Lots of pinks and a nice 15lb spring in tight at sandheads and then things died off midday. Moved to T10 for high slack and found a pig at 44ft in 100ft of water. Big fish but a terrible fight.. like it had been caught earlier that day or something. Let this one swim away after a brief boatside revival. All in all great day out there and nice to see you many others enjoying some time on the water. All fish on chovies for us. 40-70ft.

Fished SH 7am-5pm. Nothing but pinks.
Might of seen 1 spring landed. Fished 90 to 400 ft. 35 to 110 on DR. Anchovies most of the day. Went to hootchies til end. Friends are making fish cakes. Lol. Be back Friday. Still a fun day?

 

[Howesoundhound]

Between North Arm and T10 in tight. I hate fishing there but desperate times called for combat fishing

Thanks RC. Good combat. You killed it today compared to the rest of us

Hey the Commander party! That was funny. I think there were 4 of us at one point all side by side. Good to see you out there!

Would appreciate a real time wind/chop report if anyone’s out… Heading to sand heads later this am then planning to cross the strait to the islands… shows a decent NW 15 this morning but fading thru the day…

It’s very lumpy at North Arm. Winds is only 8 or 10 knots though. Supposed to die down at noon

12 pound Chinook in the boat. North Arm 97 feet with a cop car Skinny G. Same setup as the one we caught last night. License marked!

 

[Fishallspec]

We were out in the heard yesterday from 2 -6:30PM and banged off a pile of pinks, kept a hog 7lber. Got 2 nice 14Lb+ springs and released a sockeye! Busy day out there! Green was the colour to use for us, lures only saving the anchovies for later.

 

[jcon12]

Fished the deep waters surrounding SH from 530-730pm. Got one chubby 69cm nook in on an achovie at 70ft DR and lost one similar sized at similar depth.

 

[Reeltime]

Fished T10 and North Arm.. was a grind trying to find the fish, it was a stay a pay, released some big golden oldies and kept one decent one with
two beautiful thick coho's,, size was competing with the spring 50-90' .. bouncing through water column in different area's XL bait , very few pinks hit, these fish swolled the bait, a wack of coho moved in like a storm then shut off, cruisers, i'll be out for round two afternoon evening bite.

Has the wind dropped out there?

 

[hippaisland]

Also wondering. Heading out in few hours.

Yes wind has dropped. Still left over lumps though. Lots of 18 foot boats out at North and T10
