Picked up 5 springs Sunday afternoon off the Fingers.12-15 pounds. 130-150 feet on the cop car spoon. Beautiful flat conditions!

went out yesterday evening for a couple hours and boated a 13ish white spring 180 feet cookies and cream, lots of fish at the cleaning table last night, no real big ones though
 
Looking to head over to Thrasher from Vancouver if the weather (wind) cooperates. What is better to fish, the low or high slack?

Finally a day off to fish! Awesome day on the water. Caught 8 salmon today and lost one to a seal. Fishing solo and I had a double header. Landed both, a 16 1/2 and a 24 1/2 lber. Fish around the fingers and caught a couple in the 140 range, moved up just south of Winchelsea fished shallow waters, (less than 150) caught a couple more, then moved a good 2 - 3 km out into the channel and finished off with 4 more. A green glow lure was the hot ticket item of the day catching 6 out of the 8 fish. Most fish were caught 180 down.IMG_0825_2.jpg

Hooked a scrappy 15 pounder today near Entrance with dad. 180 feet down, LONG leader (84") and 4" coyote in Kitchen Sink.
I have had to switch to left hand retrieve on the Peetz due to shoulder issues, it is surprising how many habits I am having to relearn!
Great father/son time. He says he will keep the boat for one more year.

This Chinook was beyond white. Skin off the fillets look like ling. I plan to candy it.
 
Not a productive day today. 2 undersized and a couple missed hits. Was able to snag about a 6 pack worth of empty kokannee cans floating past my boat though. Shook my head after the first 2. Couldn't stand watching anymore go by. Maybe I got a stick up my arse but that's pretty ignorant. Thanks for the 20 cents. Stay home next time.
 
11 and an 18 out front yesterday. Both white and healthy, scrappy fish. Going to candy them as well... Not a huge fan of the whitey's...
