Said they were all pinks, got them on hoochies, herring, and coyotes all on the downriggers. I'll be out on the boat this weekend that's for sure  ;D

Why? They're all going to be in South Arm this weekend when you're out on the boat. ;D

It shouldn't be a surprise that they are stacking up good at the mouth. They are right on time as usual. The big evening incoming tide should bring them in this weekend or early next week.

WOW.... Now I'm starting to WAKE UP...& get excited.  Thanks for the news. If the Pinks do come in ya can still fish from your boat.... as ya can just troll along Steveston Is. or along the Fraser....right up to New West. But from what I know if the pinks come up river they will be within casting distance SO people on shore may land more than if one was in a boat possibly.  :o  The next 3 wks should be GREAT !

Has anyone tried the mouth of Coq river/Port M Bridge area this season? Is it productive at all?

This is slightly OT, but I was just walking my dog at the dog park at the end of 3 road near where lots of people fish and saw that some old lady's car had been broken into while she was walking her dog and the guy took her purse. This all happened with lots of people around, and the little parking lot almost full. I think it was likely the suspicious looking guy I had seen when I arrived there pretending to sleep in his car (an older model bluish/gray car, can't remember which one exactly). The guy was parked right between me and the lady that had her car broken into and by the time I got back (15 minutes or so), he had taken off and the lady's windows were smashed.

Be careful out there...

Was out between No.2-No.3rd tonight from 1930-2015hrs.
6 guys out there including me and a firend.  Saw 2 pinks hooked and landed and a few boiling.
Couple seals around too.  Definately starting to pick up out there.
