holy gong show batman - from obrien, looking towards secretary from the tip of the island to the border, I roughly counted 120 boats. MOST of them I assume were out for sockeye as they were spread way out in the deeps. A few biggee springs were caught from the buzz we heard but only saw a few apparent teens landed and the 29.5 that weighed in for the bite me. Fished trap for a while, nothing for us but a small spring we released, headed out for sockeye as it was only a morning fish we had time for - very hit and miss, but damn, when it was hit, it was bam bam bam...1 rod goes, few seconds later the next one goes. Think we had 3 double headers, i had 6 on landed 5, buddy was 2 for 4, several hits as well. Look for the last one and the ebb pushed us too far from the school we had just found and we had no luck and dragged flashers for 1/2 hour. Headed in for cleanup. Batch of 5lbs, batch of 8lbs. Ran red hotspot with red squirt, sooke special with pink, mostly 50ft, but anywhere from 45 to 65 - even one at 20 in the middle of stacking.
Find the schools and its a gong show of a good kind - better schools were around 520 - I assume must have been huge schools right at Secretary given the cluster.
