Dean-last I was there gate wasn't locked just pushed closed I was the first one through (on a bicycle in the dark) and just pushed it open.

Good Luck!

Home a bit early. I'll be out tomorrow. Let's just say with the lack of fishing on our trip and the reports I was getting I wasn't too upset to come home.

I’ve never seen the gate locked. At mc beach they close the gate to keep the the unwanted out after hours. I think if ya showed up in the early am (2 or so ) the caretakers in the house may have some thing to say.

Crazy fishing continues. Everything we used caught fish . Anchovies, white hoochie, pink hoochie. Caught fish from 40 to 80 feet . Water depth did not matter either

Did anyone see the **** head on Thursday night that fell off his boat while getting sealed at the sand heads? I was just off the green can.

I have spent the week sitting in a very well conditioned office and occasionally checking this thread, only to be completely f’ed up by the reports, and then to struggle back to re-focus on what I really needed to focus on but didn’t want to focus on. Now, having been out for dinner on the waterfront overlooking the boat, I have just walked in the door and salted the anchovies (apparently, unnecessarily) and read Chasin’ Dreams report and the first thing going thru my mind at 9:30pm at night is whether it is too early to head out, right now ... I am a mess, I need to fish.

 

[SteelyDan]

Although apparently unnecessary I'll be out in the afternoon fishing the high tide

Lol I hear ya. I have driven to boat launches before late at night and crashed in my boat with my boat still on my trailer lol, set my phone alarm to be awake just before dawn to launch my boat. For some reason sometimes I can sleep better being close to the water but when at home and restless the night before a fishing trip I often don't get much sleep. You'd think that would go away over time but nope been like that forever lol.

Stuck on land camping on gabriola, wishing I was out fishing sandheads. Have fun everyone sounds all time out there.

I remember 2015 being very good and the Red springs just kept coming, even into September.

So the 2019 return makes sense in that regard.

That being said 2015, the fish were all 10-12 lbs and this year the fish are better size.

Hopefully a good sign.

Hahaha, sounds like a DFO report on the state of fishing or maybe Doc Suzuki (while hes out fishing the cap with a guide) hahaha, anyone see the starving SRKW out there, they should be out feeding with the shortage of Chinooks. Sorry for hijack of thread back to the reports of all the Chinook out there

Another great morning at Sandheads. 14# red and 17# white, both on green flash with anchovy at 50 ft on rigger in 250 water, away from the pack. And we managed to beat the seal this time, that’s fun.

 

[Rain City]

How's the massive pack off NA Doing? Dropped at the bell about 30 minutes ago, nothing so far.

 

[Rain City]

Hog hog hog off the bell. Plus whos the asshole running right at me while I'm waving my arms to **** off? The fish had 400' of line out.
