Demco - the spring and one sockeye were at 55 ft on a cop car Ace High Fly and the second sockeye was at 45 ft on a Flaming Hans spoon. My "sockeye gear" (pink squirts) caught nothing. There aren't a lot of sockeye out there yet and the ones that were caught seemed to be caught after the boats did a good job of fishing tight together and herding/attracting the fish into a school formation. Was above the school a few times but the fish weren't biting in the large numbers that they will over the next while.

Fm, it was angler dream, and i am sure there will be many who will stick up for the brother, but!!!
Ah. I know who you're talking about... I've been on the water lots and know the boat well. I'm find myself seldom fishing around his boat...because I'm catching fish elsewhere...Anyways, you'll be happy to know that..it has come on strong for Sox in the last 24 hours so it's time to fish where he isn't!!!

Was out in Howe Sound yesterday. No action so made the run to T-10. Had heard sockeye were good first thing. It was slow when I got there. Saw a couple of jumpers and heard of the odd fish caught.

My nephew on Sunday.
Went south arm in the later afternoon and found a pretty good school that followed pretty good.....it was relatively busy once you found a school and got some to follow.... mainly singles for us but we did however get some multiples. Once you got off the school though you'd have to search. Pretty soon I suspect the search time will get less and less.
Just had to post this photo (for my nephew and tell him he's been published !! ) He will be pretty proud. He has the 'soc fever' as he remembers 2006 very fondly !!
I might add at this time of year ( early August) the socs are prime ocean chromers.

went to the bell and harbour about 11-5 and trolled squirts spoons and hootchies. caught a 6lb sock on a green white coyote at the bell, lost another at the jericho 1st marker and then caught my first smiley of the year a 24lb red spring on a green white hootchie at 30ft again near the bell. saw a few jumping but nothing crazy. will post pics.

I too would like to know if anyone has landed any springs during this sockeye mad past couple weeks. I'm new to fishing Vancouver but coho were great early and now sox are unreal and hoping to get into some fraser springs now/soon. What are a few areas to target? What are people having luck on? chovies? other? thanks
