Did you just reveal the secret spot!!!

Before the rain the springs can be anywhere. I can't say how many my buddy and I got but the 20 lber was about 500 feet from the shipping body towards fisheries

Just stay in the shipping lane its 100 feet.w

Sweet dodging 1,000,000,000 ton boats is a favorite pastime of mine.

Got a nice Chum today off of the pink appt using anchovy, not expected but will take it. I never caught one there before so was a bit surprised to see the bars.

Thanks for the report. Will be out tomorrow late morning. Gonna run a bunch of spoons to start then big pink hoochies looking for Chum. One of the sockeye we caught last weekend was on a skinny G. (Weird). I'll keep it updated here tomorrow.
Cheers, Rob

Notice the double hook. I can't stress the importance of a stinger hook. 4/0 gammy. I fileted them freeze for 90 days. Then you have sashimi take one out for breakfest doesn't have a strong fishy taste. Good for you and you can't over eat fish so good for body building or fitness to have a good breakfest.

 

[Deepaaaar]

Nice! You only need to freeze for 7 days at -20C for sashimi. Coho sashimi is dynamite.

 

[Brett83]

Well. 300PM we got one coho to enter into the derby. Bit disappointing but I'll take the entry. 60 cm hatchery coho at Ambleside

 

[Hraffn]

Tough days at cap… I rarely fish the madness but thought I’d give it a try, wrong day I guess, all the boats just no fish for me. Spent a few hours calming down in front of the fisheries, couple nice strikes at 70’ on my chovies but again no fish in the boat! Oh well, nice day for it anyways
