Hey don't be so hard on yourself. You are also the final word on whether a boat is powered sufficiently.

One day I’ll be out coho fishing in 450’ of water at 47’ and I’ll hit a 76 pound Chinook and I’ll be THAT guy.

They kinda know what they were doing when they opened it for us in mid September. Throwing a bone that barely has any meat on it.

That’s the Liberals/DFO play these days. Try and make us voters forget the garbage Closures they shoved down our throats with a Fraser opening and a sockeye opening after the run has hit the River.

Driving, loading boat, launching, boating, fishing, more boating, loading boat, cleaning, driving thru Surrey to drop some frozen fish from last week with the kid, more driving, more cleaning.
18 hours and 800 some km.
SH- 3 for 10 on sox on sock gear with 3 dummies at 40-60 feet in 3 hours then 1 for 1 sockeye on anchovy in 30 seconds at 90 feet.
YOLO.
Did better when I let them swim into net without lifting head (=crazy death spit spin). Pulled one by hand, but also lost one.

Damn, exhausted just reading your post!

Plus til Dec 31st in the other local opening areas. How helpful that is remains to be seen.

The winds are making a comeback.

We picked up a couple scrappy springs eventually and called it. Not the sock fishing we had in years past. We also @Stizzla 'd the **** out of the day unfortunately.
Lost gear:
4 18 lb cannon balls
7 clips
6 dummy flashers
2 auto stop with snubbers
All started because I wasn't prepared to fish socks and tried to jerry rigging a tuna chord extension with cheap parachord. Then after being lazy again by not setting up auto stops we jammed the next two balls into the rigger and pop! The shame far outweighs the 7 fish in the box.

Ya lost a bit of gear… That’ll be about a thousand…

 

[Totally unexpected]

I still kick myself for not sticking with my original policy...the best boat,is your buddies boat!!!

Wow, hard core. Mix in a pillow and sleeping bag next trip. On the plus side, if you sleep walk and fall over board in the middle of the night you’ll be safe as it appears you’re sleeping in your Mustang survival suit?

Not hard to vary speed in these conditions. The prop guard has paid for it’s self. One nice soc in the box at t10.

 

[Viking]

Hopefully this rain brings in some fresh fish. Hopefully. Either way, I'm not working lol
