Amazing, I bet the conditions were beauty

Beautiful conditions. And not too many boats. Had a cousin in town I took out - he was amazed.

Never seen such great numbers so late into the season . You know it’s good when the spoon and hoochie crew are even catching them !

Hey they can’t all be master baiters like you!

All jokes aside though , been a pretty amazing season out there , has to come to an end eventually but it sure doesn’t seem like it’s going to . Saw pictures of many legit tyees yesterday

Last weekend I went out. We were bsing way out in no mans land and not really fishing that hard, but still caught a ton. In a t-shirt. Can’t really get any better than that

No chum for us yesterday, surprisingly, as my guest had a few anchovies, thinking chum would prefer bait.

No seals either where we were trolling, (green can guide tack) the suggestion was that the seals have followed the fish up the river. Thankfully this recent wave of trophy chinook have showed up to fill that void.

All the chum hit on a blue flasher, blue teaser head combo. And two of the three hit the inside rod on a turn, so I suspect they like blue and a slower presentation.

Yep. Browns Bay derby routine- slow troll, kick in/out of gear and slow turns or zigzags.

Sandheads 4pm to 6:30pm. One white 18lber on med. herring. See ya tomorrow!

Tried dropping the crab traps this morning, but the stock is still wiped out from commercial activity. Threw my guest rods out to kill time as they soaked, no retention planned, let a chunky chinook and a disgusting looking chum go, both on Bon Chovy nickel finish Skinny G and silver super Betsy. Near the west mile marker and the nearest freighters.

Sandheads today was a chum show. Those guys kept stealing our bait so we Finally tried something different. White hoochies at 120. 3 nice chinook in short order , 27lb the biggest.

Happy Thanksgiving Day. I give thanks to these local waters that continue to produce good fishing for us to enjoy. We live in a special place.

Cheers.

Long time no post. went out Saturday to Sandheads. Started around 7:30 a.m . Amazing day to say the least.
15 lb spring right of the bat. A red to boot.
Then 2 Tyee on large herring not too long after.. A 31 and 34 pounder. (In the smoker now)
Released 7 beautiful large wild Coho. Then 2 chum & a hatch Coho.
Great way to end that fishery, for me anyway..
On to winters now..... thanks for all your posts guys. Tight Lines !

Had what can only be described as an epic few hours at Sandheads. Had a triple header of Big Springs (20,28 and 36 lbs) and landed them all. And steady action of numerous other Springs, Chums and Cohos. Finished with a 45 pounder! Had intended to let it go however completely swallowed the hooks. What a fishery it has been this Fall.

They conveniently hid all the gear evidence in every photo.

We had bait down with green and bloody nose teasers as well as hootchies. Today it did not matter. They took everything we put in front of them. I’m colour blind so don’t pay much attention to colours of flashers.

Wasn’t intentional
