Sandheads this afternoon. Sun on the water and black clouds over the island. Ended up with 3 Sockeye for 8 hours of fishing. Lots of jumpers just not lots of biters.

Fished west van for an hour - dead.

Lines down at t10. Slight chop.

Update - 2 sockeye in the box at 50’. Lost a decent Chinook which peeled 30 yards of line. Not bad for a 1.5 hour outing.

Yesterday the bite at sandheads that I was around for was leading up towards the low slack. Green onion seemed to be the colour of choice from looking at other hookups and as soon as we got those down we found some biters. Nothing on the blues. 7-2

 

[SteelyDan]

Fished near sandheads yesterday away from everyone. Landed on top of them at 10:30 am when we put the rods out and got 3 right away at 65ft. Then nothing until 4:45 then the bite came on again and we got our limit taken care of with one of them being a 17lb spring. All around 55ft trolling faster average 2.4 mph

At west van?

Negative. Hookups were at T10.

Can’t find the sockeye at sandheads but found this guy...just lost a sockeye at the boat while posting this

Update: was a female 21 pound white, stomach was empty

 

[Trayvreller]

Good bite at North arm now. 600 ft of water. Boxed 5 so far.

 

[Matthias]

Sorry for the late report:
Was out Friday, sandheads in the chop. 200 ft of water 45,55. 6 to the boat lost 2. All on the afternoon bite

Kicker problems got my paralyzed for a few days now. Hopefully the guys at inlet can get me sorted before the derby on the weekend. To keep me sane I don’t think I can follow this thread until I’m back up and running again

 

[UsedBoat]

I think everyone is too busy catching fish to make a report, I hope so anyways.

Tight lines, sharp hooks.

 

[Kapt. Kirk]

Slow at sandheads this morn. Only boxed 3, lost 4. At North Arm now and seeing the odd fish caught. Just lost a beauty at the boat. Very scrappy fish right now.

What derby's that?

 

[Ringo]

Between T10 and North arm in 600’ of water. Green onion pattern was the winner. Multiple double headers. Got our limit in 5 hrs lines in in 40-60’.

 

[mikeyman]

What derby's that?

Vancouver Chinook classic. 2 day derby. Next weekend.

 

[Normfish]

After limiting on Friday , went 0 for 3 today on Sockeye , with 2 undersized Springs released. Had on great rip off the rigger as well , screaming line, but was gone before we got to the rod .
Other we talked to did better ,some not .

 

[Viking]

With this forecast of 10 to 20 knots I will likely be around west van or HITW tomorrow. Any better spots to hide from the nw?

 

[mikeyman]

I sometimes would tuck around point grey. Still ruff but closer to mile markers can be a little calmer.

 

[reeltordarius]

Damn why the hell did we go all.the way to sandheads this morning?? I knew as we passed the north arm and we saw a few jumpers we should've stopped.....nope, instead we wasted half the day at Sandheads with only the release of one undersized. Finally stopped at the North arm on the way home at 2:00 and had the first hit within 5 minutes of lines down and another 3 hits (one double header) in the next 2 hours. Really hope they stay at the North arm for a while now.....
