If anyone catches a 30lb + at T10 with a green teaser hanging off its lip please return it to us.

Out at T10 again this am. Lines in at 8 am. Wind similar to yesterday with a bit of rain mixed in. A few unders in a row as we watched nets out all around us. Finally hit a low teens at 57’ on a med. herring. Then lost two heavy fish and landed a mid to upper teens football 47’ on a chovie. Wind has settled some, still a fair chop but very fishable. About 40 boats in the ‘hood.

What's a raincity special?

I’m really not sure yet, it’s hard to get info from these top rods
But it involves stuffing herring into teaser heads,
Taping the crap out of them.

T10 is good today, bait slightly ahead in the count vs spoons, lures. Had some action early on without a flasher, but went to a really bright green glow flasher with spoons and it did show a marked improvement. Against current has the most hits.

I’m thinking of trying to modify a teaser head so it will take a larger size herring but not sure if these salmon would hit on a 12” herring as the bait everyone is using is like 5” anchovy.

They make herring heads but I hate the roll on them.

Rip the lower jaw off the herring, should fit like a glove

Anyone see the guy land the seagull at T-10? Are they open right now? Can’t find it on DFO website.

 

[Mike1266]

When does everyone like to bleed/gut their fish? I usually stop fishing to do it instantly when fishing solo as it seems to keep the meat exceptionally fresh. Catching more is less important to me than keeping your already caught fish in top condition. There seems to be mixed feelings about this as I see most people just stuff it in a box and continue fishing. Thoughts?

If you put it in that fish ID app, it’ll probably tell you it’s a Chinook.

Send the head to dfo for DNA analysis.... they will likely confirm "its a chinook and it's a species of concern" because the guy that analyzes the data from that program copies and pastes "species of concern" in for every 6 out of 7 samples taken to manipulate their data to justify closing us down...they don't even look at what's sent in.

2 reds 1 white last night at sandheads. 2 in the high teens. Anchovy 60 ft. Had a rookie on the boat, lost at least 5 keepers. Hand full of undersized. Wind and currents were tough.

Fill a 5gal bucket 1/4full of water cut gills head first into the bucket gear back down. Gut into the bucket after then put on ice in cooler or kill bag.

 

[samba123]

Hope today's rain won't push all the fish up river.... would like to get in on the crazy action everyone is getting on our first trip out tomorrow

Bullet roll heads ftw

This is our method, nice and clean way to keep the the meat well bled, here is our double from Friday

drill a coupla different holes in them and they work great

Really eh? How does that effect the roll? Or are you talking about how to get them in the chovy heads?
