I have noticed that its hard to keep these fish on line when they start trashing around on the surface. Anybody have some tricks to keeping them hooked? Should go to a larger hook?
I use a 6 hook and reel fast, if they really start thrashing let em run it doesn't last long, if you at a 50% capture rate your invited on my boat anytime lol Good Luck and tight lines
 
Still can't figure out the up and down photo lol. last couple nights 6 socs and a few springs between me and my buddies. Lost quite a few as well Finally got a good one on a chovie. The pink hootch is doing damage! Big thanks to Jens and Stillwater Sports for setting me up and coming out to rip some lips. 70-30 ft in the gauntlet of boats for us IMG_0154.JPG IMG_0123.JPG
 
Sandheads was great for us this morning, 55’ & 77’. Similar action on both our green and red sides. We started at North Arm and had no luck there, headed south and found fish.
 
Welp. The struggle continues. Went 1 for 6 in a 1 hour fish at the North arm. All blue flashers in the Pacific Angler setup. Ripped out at 10:00, rods set up by 10:30, lost 5 fish in 20 minutes then managed to haul one in. I was by myself today though so it was fun to try and figure it out anyways. Boat parked and gear clean by 12:30. At the pub now for happy hour. Happy Friday guys.

Well at least you got the stink off!
 
Sandheads from 8 t0 12. Limits for me and the 8 year old kid. Out deeper by ourselves. Found a school and tried to hover on over it.58 to 45. The green worked best again
 
3 for 6 north arm One was 11# spring so more fun than sockeye. In shallower water than the pack. Action pretty much on tide changes. 30-70 like everyone else

I was in tight as well. Not many boats where I was. Maybe you saw my gear flying around.
 
Went to T10 yesterday am with a friend and got 5 by 8am then got 3 more at nth are 10-10.30 we also lost another 8 probably. Usual setup and with red and green and purple onion flashers that all worked. Also went out wed and thurs after 2 pm nth arm with my son and could not catch anything either afternoon! Hard going for me on the low tide at nth arm 225 -300ft and my son already didn’t love fishing.
This morning I went out solo to nth Arm and went 4 for 4 with 3 rods down, took 4 hours. (I totally surprised myself not losing any ) It was slower today and I could not find as many schooled fish. Also a wild coho release.
Good times. Lots of boats out This morning but still lots of space to fish. So Saturday am there is going to be a mega-squadron of boats :)
 
T10 for us by 7:30 am and I sucked the entire time for sockeye, need to work on my "dialed in" setup...got fed up and put a spring rig down around 11:30 am and bam, screamer on a pink / white hoochie with a chartreuse flasher, 105' on the rigger. Really peeled out the line and ended up with a sweet low 20's red spring, caught in about 210' of water. Good luck to everyone else, and tight lines for the derby tomorrow everyone!
