Anyone having any luck at T10? Or anything out around that area? Looks like all the reports are SH.

 

[wildthing]

At Sandheads now. Scratchy. Put a really nice hatch coho in the box. Couple other wild coho put back. Seen a couple nets out but not too many.

Nice day at sandheads. Fished in the Firemans derby and thought we had a contender with what turned out to be a 27lber but a 43lb monster ended up dwarfing all others this year. Fun times as always and great work by the organizers once again. We ended up with 3 springs and a couple hatch coho and a Sox for our efforts. All on chovies and herring 50-60ft.

Where was the 43 caught? That's a hell of a fish.

It was an impressive fish. There was 43, one 31 and half dozen in the 26-28 range.

We only boated one 15lb spring, threw back an ugly sockeye.

We were not in the derby but did get a 20+ lbs chinook at Sandheads. Kids had a pro-d day at school so away we went.



Also got 2 nice sockeye, though we only went 3/9 on the hits.

They found it in 450'off the sandheads. I was in the derby too, ended up with a beauty 20.6lbs that was good for 10th. $700 milkita tool set for my efforts which is awesome. Well done to all!

BTW sandheads was good to us, 1 boated and 2 nice springs went back for yall to bonk haha. Oh and sox all over the place.

By the way that hog today bested the previous top fish by 10 lbs!

[wildmanyeah]

The cooler does not do the fish justice seen this posted ofnFacebook

Congratulations what a fish

 

[Tugcapitan]

Man that’s an awesome fish!

We had a couple of big bites at first light Sandheads, boated one, straightened a hook on the other, ouch
Scratchy the rest of the day, bite here bite there, and softer bites that didn’t all stick. All on bait 40-70, didn’t try for sox.
Really fun day with a bunch of protein for the freezer

Slow at SH at the moment. One undersized spring so far. Few jumpers, few nets out.
