Were you out early early Juan? My fishing partners today were not early risers so we didn't get fishing until 9:15. Had one on at Secretary on the low slack but did a long distance release. Heading back to Cheanuh at about noon, I saw a guy net a beauty right on the corner--had to be 30 plus. Might go out early tomorrow.

I picked up an 18, and lost a fish 1st thing Saturday (july29th) morning at Otter.
I saw prolly 8 other fish landed by the time I pulled up at noon.
It still seems awfully slow for this time of year.

I was out Friday am, got nothing, saw two fish caught (in between beechy head and trap shack,closer to beechy head actually)
saw nothing caught until around 11:30 and it seemed to be less current. Makes sense I guess.

anyone use this current site? it seems to be fairly close sometimes for current around beechy head.
anyone use tandem hook setups? I got those rhys davis ones with the red line to tie them together, but usually just use one hook, like in the package.

We usually run a small treble hook for a stinger. don't hook it up to bait just let it ride back beside bait porobly 1" above tail. have pulled in allot of fish just hanging on stinger. did a test last summer out in sooke and it cosistintly out landed more fish than without a stinger. would'nt think of running a bait holder without one.

Can run any size between 00 to 01. run a black if you can. discreate is the secret don't need to bring attention to the back hook.
I mean it, I have read allot of post's hear and see allot of (hit one!! lost one ) post's
you can elliminate allot of those by a stinger.( IT'S AN OLD WALLEYE FISHERMANS TRICK). I chalenge you to try it,, you will not be disapointed.

Boats were pulling fish consistantly till about 930 but could't entice another bite myself.
This ones already brining for a smoke tomorrow. All in all, a great morning.
Hope others here have been getting tight!
