Made the run across from Ladysmith to Sand Heads this morning, lines in around 9:30. Quite a few pinks ( kept 4), released a few under sized Chinook and 1 sockeye. Kept one 17 pounder that hit at 75 ft on a spoon, all the pinks came on hoochies, no takers on bait. Nice run over and back
Did 2 to 5 shift today at sandheads with my daughter. Thats about all she could handle lol. Bunch of pinks released and boxed 3 red springs again on the t10 glow hoochie combo

Ran from Nanaimo this morning. Lines down at 6:30am, was a slow morning for us but picked up on the slack and flood. Got 4 white springs 12-20lbs… lost quite a few more including some bigger fish. Whole herring and white flash fly.

Fished Sandheads 8 to noon. Got two early on in tight to the green can. Went quiet so we pushed out deeper. Got two out deeper around the 11 am low slack, then nothing. Thought some fish might ride the water when it started to flow again so moved in tight and got one more.
Biggest was mid to high 20s and over 100 cms. Smallest was around 10 lbs. Two whites, two reds, one marble. Released some smaller chinooks, a few pinks and two wild cohos. All keepers on bait, as high as 45’, as deep as 115’.
Grilled 4 collars for dinner. My wife calls them salmon wings.
One possibility is I used to see this up north, Haida Gwaii where salmon sharks are prevalent, actually targeted by some guests. Lines were often cut, so stainless lines on reels when targeting. The rest of us would fish a different area.
Do you renew your lines, leaders, and terminal tackle yearly?
