Low tide at 147pm so both those launches might suck . 1.4 m of water

Started at bell buoy this am. Lots of boats and lots of crap in the water. DFO they’re shooing boats marginally inside the SRKW area. Picked up and decided to try T10 area. Was pretty snotty but we toughed it out. Still pretty rolly, but a lot better now than this morning. Springs have been elusive for us. Tons of pinks, a wild coho and a beauty hatch coho for the box. Hoping spring bite turns on with the flood.

Hit second marker 28-7 at around 7:15 and started trolling towards the armada at the bell buoy. Purplish blue kinetic flasher with a skinny G herring aid gold on one side and chartreause glow flasher with a big anchovie in a green splatter teaser head on the other. Slow start. At about 9 a bite started happening or we found the right spot. Lost a fish after a decent run on the spoon. Put it back down and pulled a pretty 11 lber over the rail. First fish allowed to die always dies and we carried on. A couple of boatside catch and release keepers on the spoon and nothing on the large anchovy. Died down for a hour so Switched out to 12 count anchovy and over the next couple hours it caught up and passed the spoon for action. Died off at 11:30 and called it at 12:30 ish. Hooked 10 fish. Bonked 2, boatside released 4 small keepers, lost 3 that we didn’t get to see after the first run, 1 long line release of a spazzy coho. No pinks! Most of the action towards the mile markers trolling with the waves at 30-60 feet. Heard there are 2 orca pods around locally. One at T10 and another at Point Atkinson today.

Are you allowed to keep springs at Sandheads now? Or catch and release?
Spring opened on Sep 1.

Finally found our buzzer beater spring in tight to the T10 at about 4 pm. Nice red but smallish. Had to pull the gear, but looked like bite was coming on, saw a couple other nice fish netted. Water had also settled right down.

Beauty late afternoon / evening down at Sandheads. Water laid down and after non-stop pink action for the first hour, found six springs 8 - 18 lbs in the last couple hours. All on anchovies and last two on a double header.
Hint: in you are catching pinks, keep dropping the gear down until you start hitting springs. All ours were deeper than 120’.
