Hows weather at t10?

I'm off Roberts creek and aside from a pleasant SE the seas are rippled so I'm betting t10 is very fishable.

 

[prodjsaig]

T10 is good weather winds seem to be picking up but its good

25 lbs lost 81’ herring
Another 25 71’ anchovy both before t10 from qa around 200 feet of water

There were alot of pinks out there today. What surprised me more was seeing how many I saw jumping on our way back to howe sound from north arm. All the way back I would spot them. Cant all be Frazer pinks? Especially in howe sound. Me thinks the run is late this season compared to other yrs?????

The only fish out there are Unders, Just Legals and then 20s, 25s and Tyees. All fish lost at the boat are either 25 or Tyee I've noticed. I don't think I'm fishing the same T10 as everyone else.

That lost 25lber is gonna hit the tyee mark by tomorrow morning. It only takes one sleep to feel like that.

Then you have to divide by 2!

 

[mikeyman]

Tuff to judge size sometimes for sure. Not often we fisherman under estimate our catch unless somone else caught it. Haha.

 

[Rain City]

I must say though the 15-18 lb fish this year seem to be fighting a hell of a lot harder than I remember. Every one I brought aboard in the past few weeks have felt like mid 20s. I bought a scale to verify before posting lol.

Are all fishermen liars or all liars fishermen???

At SH for night bite - Managed one spring landed tonight, lost on 14/15lb at the boat and another that opened up yet another Owner treble...

Also did anyone lose/break off a spring with a flasher and spoon? some guys at the dock chased down a flasher on the surface only to hand over hand in the spring!

It’s 25lber’s here, Tyee’s there and all around - and then we have a Derby and only two or three 20lb plus are caught. I suppose none of the top rods fish the derbies.

Anyway, fished SH 1:30-5:30 by myself and got a 19lbs red hen before I could even get the other side down. 69ft in 400ft. Chovies in chrome teasers. Shook off a humpy. Broke the whole shebang off on a spring (I saw it porposing with my gear after it broke off). Broke a stinger hook in half and lost another spring. Got another 10lb white to finish.
On a humorous note; I watched a seal surface beside me as another guy in a boat was yelling his head off and singing; the seal was curious and just tacked in on his boat and followed him away from me!. You could hear the Sea lions barking out there, too. Flat calm.

Are you sure it was a spoon and not an anchovie teaser head?
