This is such an awesome fishery! My first time out was thursday afternoon in front of the north arm from 2:30-6:00. We landed 12 and missed another 12 while training a noob on the rods and net. Thanks to many on this forum for the tips and tricks. It was a little lumpy to start (10-12NW with a good chop) but calmed down around 4:00 (8NW with a a small swell). We found the fish in 120-160ft of water with the riggers at 60-90ft. 2 rods stacked on each rigger with a kone zone off the balls. Steady action on all 4 of the setups that included a classic red flasher, a classic green flasher and 2 hologram flashers that were blue and purple - all with a mix of pink squirt hootchies in a variety of shapes and sizes.

North arm wasn't to bad this morning. Didn't get anything for the first 45 min. So i shortened my leaders and went 4 for 7 for the next 45 min. And finished before 9am. Couldn' t get into the marina on the low low so had to wait it out for a bit and ended up poling my way in. Better day, found the schools and ended up with three doubles. Only fished two lines. Everything green, with pink squirts.

Out at the north arm for a few hrs headed out to 300' of water watching the tide move in and sure enough it went off was quick and ended so fast 2 doubles and a single landed two .. 55' 65' on the rigger in the clean water , 75' 80 ' on the rigger in the dirty water seem to work for me , slowly figuring those sox out . Cheers !

Hahahahaha!!!
Pinky isn't going anywhere although pinky tends to offer up better results around Thrasher in the spring and the WCVI.Doubt we'll be making it out tomorrow but ya never know. We are likely doing Tues or Weds.
I eagerly await the "Intel" text. Feel free to taunt with pictures tomorrow but will send a message if things change.
We only gave the springs a short run around to the Bell. Given the report I had last night from a buddy I wish we had time to hit the North Shore.
FYI.....for all out there. Running back to Jericho at noon....sockeye jumping all along the channel markers inside and our pretty much right down to Jericho Sailing Center. Saw a few stragglers jumping between Jericho and RVYC....side jumpers so they weren't coho.

Mine's a North River. I ended up in the shallows while cleaning fish and cut behind you guys trying to work my way back out. Didn' t notice the Abermarle. You guys kept going, I hung around.

Just a quick note. If you see a 14' tin boat towing a 18 fibreglass boat up the river don't just drive by looking stop and help. Thanks to the three bigger boats that past me.
I managed to get out after kids soccer for the night bite at 3pm. Lots of nets in the river on the way to to the sandheads. I never managed to get all the lines in the water as the fish were hitting fast and furious. Lots of big schools and lots of jumpers for the first 1.5 hours and got 4 of 7 (two doubles) before they got scarce. Got one with a lamprey attached which came off as soon as the fish was in the boat. Left at 5pm. Probably try tomorrow again.

Hey Princecraft good on ya towing a fellow boater in. Going out tomorrow on my buddies Commander hopefully hit some schools how did you make out before the tow?
Thats what C-Tow is for unless the boat is in danger, otherwise you are putting yourself in danger.
That is a pretty ignorant attitude to have towards helping a fellow boater, not one the general boating community supports I hope.

After losing so many fish while trying to net them I built this slide and have been using it for a few years. It works great as you don't have to wait for the guy on the net or there is one in the net and can't get to the double or triple. You just drag them into the well and it's over.
The other day we caught 12 out of 13 and one was a triple and got them all in.
Hope to get out Tuesday or Wednesday.
