Cheesus! Were you running bait? In tight to shore or out in 300’ of water?Was out today 7:30-11:00 at SH. Got our limit of 8 Chinook, also some sock. Everything worked. 60-90 feet deep
Are the paints in the balls biodegradable?Random question: Thoughts on the legality of carrying (and using) an air soft gun on the boat to shoot seals with?

Way to go, highlinerSH from 730 to noon, 3 Sox right away and then found 3 almost identical 18 lb springs. One red, one marbled and one white. All big beauty Sox but it was sure sporty. We headed back around noon and was gonna look for some coho off Ambleside, but headed in. Springs all down at 90 and north of the maddening crowds. Amazing schooling of Sox on the sounder in shallow say 130...it's definitely not over!
Oh ya, bait for springs 5" herring and small Alaskan 3"/4" herring. Both worked equally well, we lost one other nice spring at the surface.
that"s what sling shots and old 5# cannon balls are for, lolAre the paints in the balls biodegradable?
If there are no seals around can I use it to mark up the sides of the boats for guys who are trolling right beside you in the same tack who decides they are going to throttle up and cut right in front of you to do a 90 degree turn in front of your boat causing you to do an evasive maneuver and cut throttle until your lines are straight up and down and get tangled? The latter seems more fun...
Yup same for us lots of wild coho. Nice manFinally made it out to Sandheads with the family this afternoon. Fished about 2pm to almost 7pm. Drove out past all the guys in tight looking for chinook and went out in search of Sox. Saw the commercial guys out further so headed that way. Put a dummy flasher on each ball, then another dummy at 8 feet, first line at 16 feet and second Line at 26 feet. Mostly blue flashers on rods and green or red on dummies. About 24 inch leaders to a variation of pink squirts and one Googley eyed wild thing. Fish were hitting as soon as I went down and made it hard to stay set up the whole time. There were a couple lulls towards the end. We lost the first few. Then got the first fish in the boat and realized it was a wild coho. We caught 6 wild coho in total all released. We also landed 10 sockeye and probably lost another 6 to 8, 3 right by the boat ... my netter has problems with the rocking boat and I probably caused a couple to get off rushing it a bit. Then we got a Chinook when we were trolling back to the light house at the end. Not a huge one, maybe 10 pounds. On sockeye gear. Last fish was another wild coho. Tons of coho in the area today. Tons of action. Beautiful evening. We sure live in a wonderful place. If only DFO would have opened it a little earlier they would be a bit more silver.
How’s the water? Wind warning in effect, but Windy/PerdictWind seem to show it’ll be fine til afternoon. Leaving soon, me and the boat can handle it, but not the kids. can’t decide sand heads or Cap…See the fleet out there
At the dock pondering the same question. Windy shows 9kn NW at 9am today and then building at 14kn by noon. Gonna get lumpy…How’s the water?

Grand slam of fishingHad a great night bite.. ended up with 1 of each.
Fished from about 5:45pm to 730pm. Hit a hatch coho on the first drop down. Then lost 1 or 2 sock. Finally landed a small sock and capped it off with a 17llb spring hitting the herring aide after I popped the clip and was reeling in.
Good so far!At the dock pondering the same question. Windy shows 9kn NW at 9am today and then building at 14kn by noon. Gonna get lumpy…
SLOW! 1-1.5kn and 10-15 degree-ish. And lots of zig zags & turns. And all the flashers you can run without tangling.Good so far!
Question on speed for sockeye with the current flood tide at SH - recommended gps or rigger cable angles? Until we get this dialed in?
