6 oz bouncing betties ? Do they make them that big ?

[kevzabob]

biggest Ive seen is 3.5 maybe 4 ounce black ones. they seem to be the ones everyone is using. 6 ounce would be like a bowling ball...

I have a couple 5oz betties but they never see the water. There is no way anyone was using 6oz at Pegleg. Fished there Friday evening and Saturday morning and a 4oz was even too heavy and just dragged bottom and would get hung up or find the snags too often. 3oz was perfect

Any luck though hook ?

Any luck though hook ?

feel bad for the gongshow because its going to get worse after i post this.

They are slamming sockeyes at peg. I see familys of 5 take home 10 fish. People limit out in 10-20minutes. Keep in mind that there are a few dead spots here and there when an opening happens. A lot of springs are hooked but few are landed. There is a bad snag they get hooked on in the lower part of the bar. Saw a few nice ones 20+lb landed though so its not impossible. Im glad i don't have to fish that gongshow anymore.

I went out yesterday to Peg Leg bottom part of it and I am ashamed to say that it I was unsuccessful. Not that many we're being caught. Was there an opening for commercial fishing yesterday?  But you are right it is a gong show out there. Will try Jones this week.

Regarding the weight, I tried a 4 ounce weight and it seemed to bounce quite nicely.

Tight lines.

Yes, I think there was a commercial opening,
I fished the tidal area of the Fraser, just off where
I fish there were 3 gill netters.
Apparently there's still the mass majority

Thanks for the update, a fine job you are doing as shepherd. Went to Gill Rd today and most people said it was slow, commie deadspot passing through.... maybe.

First Nations were out yesterday from around 11am until ??

my dad and his wife hit Pegleg yesterday evening around 430 and were leaving for home at 530 with their 4 fish. When we were there Saturday it was crazy good. should have been done by 6am but we lost so many it was getting frustrating, done by 1030 though.

Now it'll be boat rides to less crowded spots and to a couple places where I can get them on the fly instead

Everybody off to Peg Leg!
