What a perfect day out there. We ended up with a spring, 3 coho and a little visit by the humpbacks. 175’ with black, green and white spoon

At the little Q this morning for low slack. Kept 1, lost 2 and released 2 springs that were getting dark. Headed to the humps and managed to get 1 coho. lost another at the boat and shook quite a few small coho including 1 that came in with only the head left on the hook.

Nice looking Chinook. Still very bright. One looks like feeder spring.

Took this pic leaving yesterday at about 3:30, total **** show at the ramp, it’s gotten so bad here the last few years … it’s a Monday afternoon, if you ever complain about the ramp then think twice about posting on the FC Facebook page, or just say you got skunked.

That is the Eric Cartman of fish. Proving that you could get a 20lb slot sized fish.

Going to drop a couple traps for crab and prawns for new years. Anyone been out? Wondering if any winter springs are getting bonked?
Saturday looks good wind wise
