Was out yesterday morning at the fingers. Lots of action. Some hits and gone, quite a few springs let go. Some wild Coho and managed to get our 2 hatchery each. Took about 3 1/2 hrs. to get our 4 hatchery.

Out last night for a quick dip (90 mins).
One nice hatchery coho and then nothing. Saw lots of boats playing fish which is always nice.
A few nights ago it was on fire. Not sure if it’s still the same overall.

Got out this evening. Pretty lumpy. Couldn’t find any coho. Quite a few undersized springs. Released one beautiful spring around 9-12 lbs. spoons got action. Fished off the fingers. Riggers at 100 and 120’. Maybe should have tried shallower.
Saw lots of fished played but seemed like most were released.

Lots of fish out there today, hard to find hatcheries but was good to see lots of fish. There was a good bite at first light then quite till tide change then turned on again. We got 3 hatcheries and called it a day.

Blasted up to Entrance, started in the dark got there 5:30am. Got a hatch in the boat before I could get the second rod in. Then quiet for an hour, got into them again, couple wilds, then a second hatch around 8:15 and took off, as I was by myself. Small 3-4lb fish, wilds were bigger. Purple flasher one side blue flasher other side, same purple/white hoochie that’s been working for me. 55 was the ticket again.

Was out mid day. What a gongshow parking was today at ramp.
It definitely felt a bit slower than few weeks ago with the coho. Let go some nice springs today and some wild coho.
Went and did little bottomfishing and snapped up nice 20lb lingcod. Great day.

Well opening day for chins and there must have been over 50 boats at the fingers this morning. Surprised no reports. Well for us we only got one legal spring in the morning and one in the afternoon. Lots of smalls and some just unders. Still some nice coho fishing around and was able to scrape some up in the afternoon. Small spoons still doing the most damage. Saw dfo boat heading out about 4:30.

I fished 4pm-dark sundown. One wild coho and a couple shakers trolling. Very very slow fishing. Switched to jigging at 9 and got into lots of shakers, iced 2 lings and magically got a 66cm Chinook on the last drop right at dark.
My buddy had the drone aboard and got some fantastic footage

Classic night of ADHD fishing for me I'm sure some of you at the fingers saw me switch from jigging to incoherently trolling and incessantly swapping lures a few times.
Didn't get anything on the troll but eventually found fish on structure scattered around and connected with a nice 70cm. 1.5oz herring aid delta half jig from the Chandler did all the damage. Action was all right at sundown.
Also see link to some of the drone footage my friend posted from Saturday nights fishing expedition:
Go get em!
