Shhh...

Nice to know that it is opened now. Early this summer we were discussing different techniques that may work down here. Maybe we'll try it out this weekend, if I get bored of the pinks. ;D

So let me get this straight, I can fish inside the river and catch sockeye, can't fish off the mouth where the schools are going to be.

Winds are blowing SE right now and on an outgoing tide, GOOD LUCK TRYING TO CATCH A SOCKEYE in area 28.

LOL!

Wow 4 sockeye per day in Tidal Fraser.. that means Richmond, right?

How big are sockeye? Can they be caught on the same light tackle as the pinks I've been going for?

How about casting out a pink hoochie behind a silver spinner or croc (w/o the hook)?  That looks like similar to what they do in the chuck for soc.  ;D  Shhh!
