3 nooks in the boat at sandheads. Been out since slack. Out deep and deeper on the rigger (90-120). Checked by DFO one pal had failed to market he last Chinook caught (about ten mins prior). $100 fine and photos of all members aboard. Won't complain too much, should have been marked but seems like there are bigger fish to fry

If everyone else aboard did nothing wrong, why are you being treated like a thug with the mugshots? Seems like some sort of infringement on rights or civil liberties.

Fished 7am to 2pm at SH. Only got 2 pinks and lost a 8# spring by the side of the boat. Did not see anybody with any sizeable fish.

One wild coho released and one hatchery off North arm before 8am dead rest day, least I got dinner not eating left over anchovies

Who could afford to eat leftover anchovies?
Filet mignon is cheaper no?

Luck got even better today. Knocked a fish off with the net after a long day with no real Chinook action. But redemption! 16lber on a large herring at North Arm 80 feet of water, 48 on the rigger.

Worst day I’ve had this time of year lost one chinook 10 feet behind the boat and that was it left at 2 pm.

What did your 16 lbs tape out at?

 

[ab1752]

Pinks pinks pinks pinks and one 60 cm nook, I'm convinced nookies are still not here yet, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. See everyone for the next round of as the hoochie turns this Friday, cheers!

Chicken sounds good. Dont know about you guys but im going to eat a lot of sashimi this year

Not far from the bell today. Release a pink and then kept 2 for the smoker incase that was the only fish in the boat for the day. Then hooked up this 14 pounder at 70’ on the rigger. Had to out think a seal ahead of us to land it. Then 5 minutes later the rod at 30’ went off. Got it to the boat and it was bigger (of course), a missed net and then a dash to the kicker prop for a snapped line. Oh the heart ache!

Update. Called it a day at 530 and after I popped the clip and went to clean other things the rod started going off. Another 11 lber on a herring with lemon lime flasher. BTW the first was with a silver betsy.

Also an edit and apology... that fish ended up weighing 12 lbs not 16. Maybe it was the rough day but I way overshot it. Taped out at 29x17.5. The 11 was 29x16. And yes, I know. This from ME is ESPECIALLY bad. Please forgive me lol.

Congrats. You had the most successful day of everyone I know who went out today. I only hooked two undersized chinooks and a pink. Brutally frustrating for opening day.

Did you get all yours at Bell Buoy?

 

[Tinny]

2 pin poppers for us today but nothing stuck. 80' deep in 250' water between North Arm and T10 away from crowds.

Between North Arm and T10 in tight. I hate fishing there but desperate times called for combat fishing
