Sandheads today, one 12 lbs marble, 2 hatch ho's and 4 pinks. Few other bites All around 50 feet on hoochies.

 

[Salmon Seeker]

Sandheads 130 to 530. Bite turned on for us around 4. 2 in the box and lost another nice one when the flasher broke the surface.

Fished 430 to dark at sandheads. Pretty steady with 5 springs, 1 pink and a wild coho to boat. Lost 3 springs. 40' got the first 4 fish and 69' got the rest

Sandheads today. 1230 to 6. Landed 3 nice springs. 15 to 22 pounds. All on Herring. Released a 60cm as well. Couple pinks and a few other hit and runs. Bite seemed to come and go. Was best from 430 on.

Fished the Bell and T10 from 1300-1700 today. 1 for 1 on a nice ~13lb spring at 110’ on anchovy, and 2 pretty feisty and decent sized pinks. Lures and hootchies didn’t produce a single bite. Saw maybe 2 or 3 fish get caught, but it was slow. Took my uncle out, who hasn’t been out salmon fishing in quite a few years. Glad we hooked a couple to round out the afternoon.

Hey anyone have a sandheads wind report? I'm getting conflicting information

 

[Aquaholic]

T-10 had a reported 1 foot chop, and this was from Sand Heads from another page.

 

[SteelyDan]

Fished yesterday 1 to 6. Did 3 passes at T10 then pulled gear and headed to SH. Pretty slow for us. 1 red spring in the box, 1 wild coho and 1 pink. The only 3 fish that took all day. Got the spring at 110 on the rigger

Leaving West Van. Looks like it’s going to be lumpy at T10 so instead thinking of fishing Bell. Will report back and appriciate if anyone fishing T10 keep us updated with water and fish comdition.

It ain’t lumpy, just slow . Two wild coho and a few humours

That for the update. I got 2 friends from Gibson and they looking forward to hook a Chinook.

It is lumpy/breezy with current. 1 spring on ice. Slow otherwise.

 

[adanac]

just boxed one teener , 47’ on the rigger

 

[A-a-Ron]

It’s ok out at SH a little breezy but SE so not much chop. Slow for a couple hours then just lost a screamer. I don’t even need the fish but damn, now I need the redemption. Skinny G at 55’ no love on bait earlier.

 

[Ringo]

Started around 7:30 around the bell, 14 lbs red just east of 2nd mile marker in 180 fow 75 on DR anchovy and green onion flasher. Pretty slow and bit breezy. @Aquaholic can certainly smell fall in the air today.

Skinny G has been killing it at all three arms since the Sept 1st opening.

Won’t catch me fishing a skinny g off the mouth of the Fraser that’s forsure

 

[Daveroo]

At T10, a bit sloppy but has settled down a bit from this morning already. No more Whitecaps. Hatch coho and lost 2 at the boat during netting . Bite has slowed down.

Haha Marco was saying the same thing until last time out. It was all we could catch on. He hit a nice fish as soon he finally agreed to swap it out.
