Was into a school of pinks yesterday at around 1:30 just west of Cowen point. Kept 2 & released 5. All on spoons. Was hoping for a Coho

Don’t you guys have a 80cm max slot there?

To be fair… that doesn’t really look like a 25
Maybe the scale is broken or something

Worth having a cheap tape on-board to make sure your not taking an over. 62-80cm over there at the moment.

Buzzed around west van for couple hours dragging UV hoochies. Slow for us. One Chinook that we flipped off with gaff. Lots of bait so was entertained staring at my crappy sounder. Doggo is starting to get his sea legs.
Took forever to get my card on the table of gas dock for some waters and snacks as this 165’ yacht was topping up the tanks. 27k diesel bill. Sucked the dock dry.

Strong day between Gowan and south Bowen. 1 hatchery coho (on the drop) and 6 pinks landed. Brought some first timers out so lots of lost opportunities and one monster spring popped right at the boat Bite was on hard from around 1-4 at 60-70 feet. Turned right off by 6.
Bite was on hard from around 1-4 at 60-70 feet. Turned right off by 6.Last year dad and I got a 77cm and 80 cm 17lbs and 18lbs. 25 pounds is a very fat fish under 80 cm.
Epic day for us yesterday. Brought my 2 grandsons to experience fishing and not disappointed. 30+ hits every 10 mins with 5 doubles. Lots of pinks with some under Chinook and wild coho in the mix. Kids lost at least a dozen trying to get them to the boat. Running chovies and pink squirts and hits 45-80.

So here we go again, 2 actual fishing report with useful information - thanks- really @- and 8 people criticizing the accuracy or details surrounding the report like a bunch of nitpicking housewives!....I though we go fishing to get away from that ? C'mon guys , cut it out - we don't really care how smart you are or well you know your regs and measurements and crap, we want to read useful reports. Please stop? And guys please don't let the critics make you stop reporting, they cant help trying to be right all the time , they were just not beaten enough as children or something. Keep them coming please. . . Our report: We picked up some nice larger pinks yesterday off Roger Curtis, at 97 feet, trolling whole small herring in Pro-troll rigs , 2.4 mph on the GPS/ sounder, and loaded up on prawn 5 gallon pail 3/4 full. Looks like [prawn are recovering after commercial opening - might be time to consider setting again, our test was good.. . Was good day not great, no keeper Coho but still a good day! Going to pan fry the pinks fillets in slices, in fish crisp and have fish sticks & eggs for breakfast and serve same to grandkids shortly. Pic of prawns tails in mild brine so don't freezer burn, and fillets on ice attached. Pinks are still salmon and tasty if cook them right!

South Bowen off Cowan in a little deeper water. Hitting them around 80 in the morning then saw them get higher in the afternoon around 40-60. Once you find then just stick to that area!
25lbs under 80cm! We caught 12 fish at Entrance last week and the 79-80cm fish weighed about 13-15lbs at best.
