You most certainly can take the head off as they have measurement criteria for a salmon with no head. We did that on all of our clipped fish. Process is on the back page of any license—check it out.
Leaving Sooke with a full dance card. We found silvers Friday off Secretary in 390-420 down 80-110. 8-1 wild to clipped and a few dinks to work thru. All released safely. White and green Silver Horde Ace Hi-Fly. Fun few hours. Best King spot was Becher Bay on the afternoon bite. Crazy ton of...
Sorry no pics today. Was busy with DR repair both ON WATER and at dock. (Remember the TV show MacGyver?) Worked Possesion hard today. Boated first clipped Spring (head in box) and got ANOTHER clipped Coho. Tag is punched except for a Coho named Casper…wil try hard tomorrow to pull out a full...
Bait today…on all fish! Go figure. (I brine mine with Pro-Cure…not sure what is popular here). Tough start today but a fast and furious finish!! Springs deep 80 feet—right on the bottom. Both hit it so hard…zingers. Both at/around Possession. We didn’t give up and it was rewarded. Also found...
Had a fast morning at Secretary this am. Needlefish AP spoon 65ft in 80-90 FOW, friend got his on a Sliver Horde Kingfisher light spoon—Red Racer. Metal outperforms bait AGAIN today. Quick question—where are all the clipped Coho? (Please no one say in the water!! 😂). Too many boats moved in so...
Just when you get a bit depressed from working hard and no fish in the box—BANG. Late Chinook bite for us—230-330 pm. No love at Otter in the AM. Pushed up past Secretary. 6 inch Tomic spoon in chartreuse/white. No flasher—so fun! 75 feet. Crazy 30 min. Did not even get the drag adjusted and...
Same speed on bait or spoons. Make sure your DR wire is at 45 degrees. 2.5-3 mph. The bait ( small herring and Anchovy) I was using was in teaser heads. Brads Super bait is a lure that looks like a cut-plug that you add scent to. If you cut plug make sure it is brined really well. Good Luck!
On the water at 630 am out front. Picked up a huge hatch Coho. Too many boats and wind so we moved to Becher Bay and picked up a nice Spring. Lots of fish on the screen there but could not get the right ones to bite. First day to get the skunk off and gear dialed in. Catching at 75-90 in...
