In two days I’ve had 5 lines cut (teeth?) and three swivels snap at the eye. Am I the only one?

Toothy males, Run 40 lb Fluoro leaders , and get em in quicker!

I'm going to give it a crack tomorrow. We're going to fire up the bbq and lower the expectations. Tides aren't great.

Hi Rain City,

I am trying to learn a little about tides and salmon feeding. Do you have insight on why tomorrows tides are not great ?

Thanks

Most of us will try and be on the water for high tide when a fresh wave of hungry fish move in. With high tide being at 6am and 7pm tomorrow it will be hard to be on the water for prime time. That said it’s Sandheads in September, there’s lots of fish around.

The most basic point is that heavy tides slow the bite down for salmon, for many reasons. You'll save yourself a lot of time and fuel if you fished either side of slack tide in general. But there's so much more to it than that depending on where you're fishing. Some areas you need flooding water to push bait or salmon against structure. But I'm also a huge fan of first light fishing... but only if it wasn't a bright moon the night before

That’s usually when all hell breaks loose. Good luck!

At Sandheads I'm pretty happy a couple hours into a big flood. Fish ain't stupid and swim up river with the tide. Not convinced slack is as important for migrating fish.

Got out with a couple rookies Saturday. A couple lost cannon balls and lots of long line releases, but got there...

Nice work on the fish and the old Jughead Shaker shirt!!
