Fished the 500 ft mark off secretary today. 3 good hatch around 12 - 15lbs. Had to pick through a bunch to get them though. Noticed that a local guide had NO trouble with catching the hatch fish. He put three in a row in the boat (two on a double header) in about five minutes..... I'm amazed at how fast he could I.D. them as hatch fish cause they didn't spend any time in the water before they were in the net.... I'm no Sh#T causer, but... GOOD FOR YOU BUDDY! Woulda loved to see you at the dock but my boat is at sunny shores not sooke marina...

It can be a trick sometimes. Especially when the fish is rolling like crazy at the side of the boat. To speed the process up, I have and always wear a pair of Oakley Polarized fishing glasses. You can see right through the surface glare. I wear black iridium lenses, but in most cases the amber would be stellar for seeing that adipose fin.

Fished briefly Friday night...wow, got windy pretty fast, ugly seas off Secretary.
Saturday morning calmed down quite a bit, now sheet glass out there...beautiful and sunny.
Out in the deep water, caught a half dozen shakers, and 3 pin poppers. 2 long distance releases, one nice 15 pound hatchery released at the boat. Bleeding pretty good, unfortunately...5 days from now it's a keeper.
Hookups were deep at first, 100-110 feet. Then later on at 50 feet. All on hootchies.
