Brisco, Both pinks and springs with even the odd coho one guy said.
The one guy is a fellow member of the NES so I know it is good.
I will target springs on the change but you know the pinks...good fun to toss too when they are there especially with the lite stuff. Pink run four yeatrs ago was a blast, my friend and I had a 25 fish day (actually about 3hrs) on pinks and a couple of springs each as well.
I wonder about the coho but you never know

Fish where the bigger boats are...find the charter vessels...and the high horsepower boats...and you'll know you're in the right area...
And forget about West Vancouver for AT LEAST another week.

We were at the Bell buoy this morning, came away with one 25 # spring caught at 40 feet an hour before the tide change. That was the only action other than dogfish. Who knows where they'll be tomorrow, that's the way it goes when chasing the migration.

Was out today from 6 - 8:30.
Fishing out of my Canoe, old school, with slipweights/flasher/anchovy.
Weren't too many boats when I started. Lost one (a Pink I think, was smallish) to a seal at 6:30. Only saw 2 seals today, and only early, I think they headed out to the bouy with all the boats.
Saw the boat next to me in the same area hook up and LLR about 6:45.
Nothing for the next 1 1/2 hours. Bait was all over on top of the water.
Lost another one 'cause I was asleep at the switch.
Then hooked up/landed this one, and headed in by 8:30.
2 1/2 hours. 3 hookups. 1 landed at 20#ish.

I was at the Bell Bouy for about an hour and half around 10. Not alot happening and lots of boats. Hit the mouth of the Cap. Put the rods down and got a hit right away. It was a just under Chinook. Came from 25 feet of water. Nothing after that. I saw two fish hooked off apartments north of Cap. One was Pink and I did not see the other. Heard of a couple better fish early AM.
Was out yesterday from 7 until noon at the bell buoy and managed one 20# red doe about an hour after the change at 60'near the mile marker. Almost missed it because I was frantically tying teaser rigs after a flurry of dogs. This fish had been caught on some kind of a wire longline before, as she was missing a big 3" x 4" patch of skin on one side of the collar where the wire had abraded the skin, a corresponding mark near the anal fin and a big ugly hoook hole in her lower lip. Who fishes like this? Still fought pretty well, though I doubt she'd have made it to spawn... Just happy to have been able to assist mother nature...
Pic is the good side.

Yep...there wasn't a whole lot going on for 50 boats, that's for sure.
We released about a 12 lb white first thing. Then kept a 22lb Marble, a 25 red, and we did ok with action..

Back at the Bell buoy this morning. One 22 pounder to show for 6 hours on the water. The boats were more sparse and spread out today, only saw one other big fish caught. Lots of action early, but nothing boated (small spring, wild coho, dogfish, general ineptitude). Red doe at 11:45 at 50 feet.
When will it pick up? Gotta happen soon.

It's pretty much over for springs at the Bell Buoy. Reds are about through, and Whities are next. In another week, it'll start to happen off the Cap.
Then it's a whole different GONG show.

We also caught a red doe, about 18 lbs. according to our old crappy scale. Not too long after noon around 40' mark.
General ineptitude??? You must have seen us. See the missing scales, my nephew was squeezing it like it was a hottie! Then he caught a plane back to Calgary smelling like a spring.
