Slower than yesterday at Sandheads for us. Played half a dozen, landed three keepers

Things looking up. Just lost a freight train. At least I got my home made lure back.

Curious why there aren’t more people fishing deep? Are all the reports shallow because they are fishing the shoal at SH.. or do these deep guys not chase the bait?

I got my nicer fish at 70 feet, all my other action was around 40 feet. I would have dropped one deeper if I hadn't limited out on Chinook.

 

[Totally unexpected]

Dang I feel like some kind of an addict I've got a freezer full of fish,but im here at work trying to figure out what short cuts I can take to get Unexpected back on the water so I can be on here posting my bounty with you guys and gals....I'm messed up lmao

Slow off the bell so far- lines wet an hour and half- nada- seen a couple somethings picked up

3 reds, 3 marbled, one f***ing seal that took a freight train of a fish. Most action was before 9, then we had a work a little harder. The herring really has been our best producer of bigger fish. All of ours were in the 15-20 class again today. 40-80 on the riggers. Dead slow.

Grabbed a dinner fish on the way out to gambier . Non stop action . Lots of shakers on the bait side caught a nice one a spoon. Beer time

Beauty morning, flat calm. 6:30–10:30, 5 springs and a hatch coho, 3 of them in the teens, a mix of red and white. Chovies at 50-65 was best. North of the pack at SH in 130-180’ of water. I also find it best trolling slow around 2mph. Lost a double header at the end… rookie net job by me on the first one, then don’t even ask about the other one. Brutal. Woulda felt really dumb if the box wasn’t already full… but great day anyways.

These fish are out there acclimating to the fresh water , they are typically in the top layer of fresh water . Sure there is some deeper but it’s usually not needed

You’re in my spot…

You’re in my spot…

As long as it's just the two of us it can be OUR spot. One other jerk showed up there. I was appalled. So nice not fishing in the pack lol

 

[Bad Habit]

By the sounds of it they would hit a ham and cheese sandwich....lol

They didnt like peanutbutter and jam

We've had some great battles with these feisty fish. Lots of fun.

Are ya’ll fishing with barbs or something? I must be cursed, 5th bite that didn’t stick in a row. 1 in the box, but really having to work for the 2nd one.

Had a bunch the were great hits but by the time I got the rod off the rigger and reeled down on then they were gone. A couple turned out to be sockeye

 

[Aquaholic]

Sharp hooks? Did you give them a twist with pliers??
