[AvidReeler]

Lost a HOG at NA tonight. Passed the rod to my inexperienced guest and the fish took off and backlashed the reel. Big fish that definitely needed a palmed reel. Snapped my 30 lb test above the flasher. I haven’t seen a fish puns the rod like that in a while. If anyone catches a Spring with a green flasher hooked in it I’d like my flasher back. Don’t mind if you keep the fish

Wind seems snotty for early tomorrow. Might wait it out and fish mid morning. Anyone heading out?

I just arrived at our place just past Roberts creek and the wind is pushing SE maybe 10 to 12 knots Odd for this time of year but it's crazy warm...see what the morning brings for winds. Good luck out there!

We were almost the same. Trolled t10 to the south area of NA and back again, 3-7:30. Rolled a tray of chovies, 2 pinks, 6 nookies all to the boat to watch hooks pop, despite being brand new... put down some spoons for the last 30 min and finally broke the curse before pulling as the sun went down.

Got 4 springs in the last hour of the day off the North arm not too far off the jetty. All at 37’. Was looking to a be a tough day, was out since sunrise and worked NA, t10 and SA before heading back to NA for last light. Ended up with a few wounded pinks one hatch ho and springs 12-20lbs

How’s the water/wind conditions out there?

 

[The Rodfather]

Fished from 3ish to 730 last night, out off north arm in and around, outside the pack you name it. My first unsuccessful spring hunt in quite a while. Pinks on the other hand were out of control we must have boated 18 of them and another 15 robbing my bait and popping off on the way to the boat. I had a couple guys on the boat that don’t get out much so they had a blast. Good to hear some guys had luck, just wasn’t my night

 

[cohojohnny]

How’s the water/wind conditions out there?

Damp. Water is fine at bell QA. No action tho

 

[Chasin' Dreams]

Few Springs yesterday on the other side and two so far today. Started a couple hours ago one out half way across the Straight and one in closer out from the SH's. Water is very nice. All our fish on strips up top last couple days. Pinks jumping everywhere.

 

[A-a-Ron]

Started at NA around noon, heading towards T10 in 250-300’. Nothing until we got near T10, then a 21# and 11# back to back. Right under the flight path still a good chunk north from the marker
