I think I saw you hook that last one! Good times!Went out to Sandheads yesterday.. for a couple hours. Dropped the lines around 6 pm and the large herring rolling at 60 feet on a glow Rhys Davis herring holder got hit in a few minutes. Handed the Rod to my 9 year old Daughter and she got a work out. Runs and jumps... then Landed a 22 pound chinook. The other side had a skinny g at 70 feet and had no love so I switched it to a herring as well. Also stacked a second line with a white hootchie on top.
Trolled around and hooked a few pinks. Landed two pinks.
I was holding out for that last bit and the light and boats were fading. I think i was one of the last few out that i could see their lights on. Then bam the second herring was attacked. The fish went peeled line off and I called for back up from another daughter. Handed the rod off to my oldest. She put the gears to the fish. Since it was going home time I started pulling up all the gear. Then before i had the last rod up the flasher just pops up 30 feet behind the boat. So i drop the rod and head for the net. A small tangle on the net release and in the few seconds... she had it to the boat at the back and unfortunately as she pulled it up it took off and the leader when right through the prop... broke off
I don't need the fish, but man those last minute fish get your heart pumping.
That one was also at 60 feet.
Seems like the afternoon bite has been great! Get out there if you can.
I don't think anyone was around on the last one. Was pretty dark. Had the anchor light on. Might have been the first one possibly. Had several people around for that one.
I run 4-5 foot leader so i can get an extra swivel in the mixWe were taught to tie the plug to the main line, no terminal. Best Regards
What's a scopalamine patch? I could use 'em too.
I just happened to be randomly talking to a pharmacist in the hospital a few weeks back and they told me that they have been discontinued in Canada for a couple years now. I was like NOOO... now my wife will never come fishing. My wife called around to a few pharmacies and pretty much nobody has any stock left. I know in the USA we used to get a prescription for her for similar patch. Scopolamine is an anticholinergic and works to control symptoms of motion sickness. Transdermal patch apply behind your ear night before fishing and lasts three days if it stays on. Might have to see if I can get some in the USA. Work great for those who get a little woozy out there.
Looks like FishDoc came back to the forum just in time for his expertise
. Miss your posts. Cheers
Thanks... yeah I actually ment to post a week ago. I went out to sandheads the prior Tuesday afternoon before the opener. Was supposed to be nice but some lightning was happening out on the straight that day. Only about 3 or 4 boats out there. We were just fishing for pinks with pink squirts and ended up catching a big wild coho, two chinook and hooked 5 pinks but only landed one. Amazing that those chinook bite those tiny pink hootchies on a short leader. Was too bouncy for the kids. Ate our one pink for dinner and it was excellent!Looks like FishDoc came back to the forum just in time for his expertise
Fresh, ocean caught pinks are underrated. What’s the preparation there?
I just filleted the pink, then start it frying in butter lightly then dump in fresh onion, garden tomatoes, fresh crushed garlic with some salt pepper and herbs of choice. Let it Sautee a bit and done! Super flavorful and the fish is excellent too!
We go down to the states to get Meclizine which is a generic anti nausea pill. Works really well for my wife who gets sea sick, and it’s non drowsy too. Used to be available in Canada as Bonamine, but it too was discontinued here.
Meclizine is the most effective one anc works pretty fast too. I used to get US clients to bring me some when it was discontinued in Canada
