I’d go to SH. You could still fish for sox and there’s a bit of consistency when the bite is on. Cap mouth is a flood fishery IMO.
I gotta say its pretty cool to see how many members are participating in this thread.
I only fished T10 once this year a couple of weeks ago. We were crabbing in Blaine and decided to run up.
Got all of our springs in a couple of hours. All on bait.
Great to see a fishery finally open for sporties close to town.
It really shows how important this public fishery is.
Im in Kamloops and have seen a lot of boats on the river and the little Shuswap as well.
Unfortunately there are also commercial boats on Kamloops lake.

Made the run down from Squamish at dawn yesterday through a pretty lumpy Howe Sound, but was a northerly outflow and trailing seas so it could have been worse. Lines in at Pt. Atkinson around 7:30am trolling east to cap to hit low slack into flood for the better part of the day. Got to pink apts at around 9:20am and joined the hoard lapping from the QD buoy to the cap marker. Maybe 50-60 boats, not bad. Was very slow for me. Netted a just under (2cm shy) chinook at 107' on rigger in 100' water, and missed the hook set on a couple pin poppers. Running mostly chovies in 80-120' water with the riggers set about the same, one just shy of bouncing the bottom and the other 15-20' above.
Saw a few decent fish netted, but overall it looked on the slower side for most. Dimitri from Bon Chovy got 1 keeper in his morning charter, which is a pretty good litmus test for the day overall (at least that's what I'm telling myself ha ha).
Seas got a bit lumpy in the afternoon but still fishable. Lines up at cap around 3:45pm, thought about setting them back in at Pt. Atkinson on way home but got a "stressed" text from wife who was manning the home ship with boys (1 yo and 3.5 yo). Classic!
I found it interesting how green the water was. I've fished the Sunshine Coast my whole life and don't recall many if any days with glow-stick green water. I was running both green and chartreuse gear, with the netted chinook hitting the latter.
Overall, a great day. The fishing was fantastic, the catching wasn't. Never sleep well the night after a slow fish. Dreams of soft, floppy anchovies and weird fishing blunders all night. Only remedy for that is to gas up and head back out there.
Sending it Sunday to likely Pt. Atkinson (or maybe SH depending on report in the coming days, and more critically the seas). One final summer run fish before prepping the boat for winter chinook fishing. Stoked.
Tight lines everyone and what a gift this late Sept sunshine is (although we effin' earned it considering how wet spring was)!

I’ll be there as well Wildthing. Look out for a 29’ white striper. Taking the wife and another couple. Pretty much all newbies, should be a blast. Getting the 10yr old daughter as well. First try for Sox’s as we have been away. Be at SH! Good luck
