ugh! went out today again to derby reach for 3 hours. saw fish surfacing, few actually jump. casted out in front of them, not even a bite. im starting to think im doing something wrong, i kept with the same pink 3/8oz spoon. am i doing something wrong, should i be casting ahead of them? on top of them, whats the deal? starting to feel like it just aint workin for me

I went out to the same spot as I did on Friday when I got 5 fish and today I only got 1 (a huge male) despite there being a lot of jumpers and rollers around.  Sometimes the bite just isn't on (regardless of what Oilcruzer says).

Fishing for the past 4 days, I noticed that the best time is always the incoming tide starting 4 hrs before high tide (in the morning),
but the action really dies down after high tide is reached and the water starts going down.

Yes, both days I was fishing the incoming tide.  Both days the fish only started to show during the flood.  However, on Friday the fish were more than willing to take my offerings, but today they just were not interested in biting (I did not see anyone else catch one while I was out).

Yeah I saw maybe 10-12 guys anyone no one appeared to have anything in the few hours I was there, your guess is as good as mine . Fish are like people, just because we see food doesn't mean we eat it...well, most of us that is.

Finally seeing some large schools of fish entering the river during the last three or four incoming tides.

Is there any idea of how many Pinks pass through the South arm as Compared to the North Arm?

You would think that you would have the best opportunity to catch pinks after where the South and North arms converge but that doesn't actually seem to be case based on my experience....

Why? You're not happy with the current spot? ;D

Ridiculously massive amount of fish moving through tonight. It was awesome. Awesome to watch that is, not so much the catching. ;D
