Peg Aug 20
« on: August 20, 2006, 03:13:58 PM »

Started the morning hearing the sox splashing in the dark.  Then things slowed down.

Took til 10:30 to get 2.  Only saw 10 other fish landed.  Still slow from the Commercial opening I guess.

Drove down the beach and watched the gong show for a few minutes.  Guy is there with his brother and starts verbal jousting with a couple of the regulars.  Seems there was a tangle of lines and this guy was yapping about how to untangle.  One of the regulars notices the guy is using a barbed hook...then cuts it off.  Guy starts yapping that it will take 15 minutes to re rig.  Continues yapping about how the regulars need to watch out or there will be trouble.  One of the regulars casts and gets a sock, then lands it...hmm must be fish karma.

Now I don't encourage anyone to cut others lines.  But this guy....barbed hooks.....

Another day of fun and games during Sockeye season.

Hi,

Is there like a boat trip for few people for a day where you can fish together in the river or something for certain amount of money?

Went to the fraser yesterday and today( slept in the old fishing mobile with dad) MAde it to the river 8:00 last night! THere were two bosoes being real smart alecs about us! "Check out the little kid and his dad, where's ur treble hook, i lost mine!" SO first me and my dad out cast them and then 10 minutes later i bring in a spring 15lbs, and then 2 casts later my dad hooks a sockeye! Finally it got too dark to see and we left! Whos the the smart one now dumb my friend! NExt morning(today) wake up 4:30 head down to the river hook 2 fish bang bang, then it got slow for a couple hours, around 9:00 school of sockeye move in, everbody hooking fish but me, so i sat down a had a rest. Finally the fish passed by! No fish for my dad either! Get up start casting, 3 casts later bang big spring WOOO! Takes me all the way down to my last few raps, tighten the drag and try to turn it, pop the hook comes out! Dang! Again another bunch of sockeye move in, ten minutes two fish, ( sea lion got one of them bad though ) keep fishing and try to get other peoples limits! Get a granola bar, next cast SPRING SPRING SPRING big fish atleast 20-25lbs again takes me all the way down to my last few raps , starts turning around, YES! reel reel reel, turns around and just guns it for the ocean,NOOOOO!! People on the bank getting agitated, trying to bring the fish in quickly, finally he bites through the line! cupcakes NO NO NO! ( i had my sockeye leader on anyway 2/0 hook 20lb test mono was afraid he was going to bite through! Should have had spring leader on, thats what i was fishing for 4/0 hook with 30lb mono) OH well theres next week when i'm going to the thompson for a two day trip aswell!
