Maybe they cut through there then usually stack against Pender. You just have to find an area where you guys can go.
We're going to try off Hamley this week in the hopes that some might come in on the way to the Fraser.

Most of it. You can still fish a bit on the south side.
That's my understanding too. Look at the south border of 18-6, most of that 90ft hump where guys like to jig is still open and all south from there. My best guess is south of the blue line is ok for Chinook retention.

Yes, I know but was on the south side towards the rocks. The boundary is here and it is till open.FYI. Coal is non retention for Chinook.
Was at Hamley Sunday morning, lots of Bait and marks on the sounder, also lots of boats. Did anyone have any good success?
Headed that way tonight? hopefully still hanging around there tonight.
I was there Sunday morning and bailed after not seeing anyone catch anything. Crazy amount of stuff on the sounder and no bites. I was thinking maybe we were seeing sockeye??
Anyways, on the way back I stopped at the spit and got a teener 55’ on a spoon in 80’ of water
I was lucky enough to go for a quick sunrise shift with @carpeweekend and his sweet mom at Hamley this morning. Beautiful water, beautiful boat. Not a fish to be seen. Very pleasant experience none the less
Started that way. After about 45 minutes we went for the big boys. You know me... I’m craving a 20
Go to sooke for sockeyeI went to renfrew last weekend and came home pretty loaded up with sockeye and a spring over 20. I have the sockeye fever now, I'm going to try to put in a few shifts hunting for them over the next few days. I'll report if I find any...
It’s true, but we’d rather have calm water and short drives than to actually catch fish.Go to sooke for sockeye
I tried pretty hard for sockeye the other day, absolutely no sign of them anywhere. No jumpers. No schools marked. In tight. Out deep. Against Pender bluff-like structure. Travel lanes. Everywhere. Nada.
I've caught plenty of socks before, so I know what I'm doing. How in the heck do they get from JDF to the Fraser? They're obviously not passing Sidney.
