Thats not true. Majority of my fish have been at high tide and the people I have been fishing with as well.
-
most of them move in with the tide so normally high tide isthe best time to hit it.

According to 99% of the reports I've been reading on here and on sharphooks, people are reporting success during lower tides

Catch them any tide, it just depends if there are fish moving through or not. ;)
Just finished another fishing camp, having lunch now but going to rush out in ten minutes to find some more pinks. :D
CJ, nice to see you getting into some fish. ;D

Well no offense but I wouldnt trust anything on Sharphooks. I trust most of what is posted here but some is a bit skeptical. it makes sense that high tide is better since it brings the fish in closer. Living in Maple Ridge the best success has been between 4:30-6:30pm.

I've done well on pinks on an outgoing tide.
-
pinks are pretty aggressive. if they're there, it doesn't take much to entice them. its all timing.

Yeah I was out fishing the incoming tide around No. 3 road today, met Rodney for the 1st time (Great to chat with you) and saw a number of socks jumping. Quiet down at Garry Point so returned to No. 3 road. Moved later on about 2 pm up to River Road and there were a few fish showing. Nothing for me but two anglers were lucky enough to hook up on small pink lures. Left around 3:15 to return home and perfect my PS2 Golf score. Action probably picked up as soon as I left anyway, like it usually does :P. Cheers to all...

I'm also very skeptical of that website.

Hmmm....
I got skunked! >:(
Hooked one, came off immediately, spoon went flying over my head. Had another tap...
You had to be Japanese to catch a pink today.... I'll let the slayers post their results later on tonight. ;D
On a different note, earlier today we had another fishing camp at London's Landing. It was nice chatting with GoldHammeredCroc right before that. The floating dock was packed today, which was great to see. I counted 20 anglers at around 2pm, all just enjoying fishing for species that most don't even care about. A dad brought three kids down, catching and releasing a few bullhead, shiner perch. I gave them a few sets of salmon id cards as he mentioned that he would like to try pink salmon fishing with the kids. Our group caught and released some shiners (a couple of monsters! :o ), a couple of peamouth chub, northern pikeminnows... :)
I got skunked! >:(

So where did you catch the skunk tonigt Rodney ?
-
I Decided to head to Richmond today right after work and hope on some pinks or even one pink. But as my luck has been going Zero again. I was out there around 4pm till 8:15pm. Person next to me got a hit but did not hook it. guess maybe frieday after work i will try again. :)
-
Yup. I hit Richmond tonight as well until around 8:30pm. Lots of jumping, lots of seals snacking as well, but no luck for me either, except a huge bullhead that took a fancy to my spoon. Well, I guess we just have to wait a little bit more :)

Part two of today's report
I guess the victors are too shy to post their success, so I am going to report it for them now. :P :)
So Perch phoned me today just before my youth fishing camp ended, saying he was at No. 3 Road pier and only saw some rises. Hungry, I decided to head straight home to eat a light lunch before heading out. I went to another spot to meet up with fishersak, who was fishing all alone. :'( He reported that he had not gotten any bites, the water was calm with no surface action at all. I sat and relaxed while watching him casting away.
Ten minutes later, I spotted a couple of risers, then I decided to get up from my comfortable rock and get ready. Perch and his dad soon arrived and joined in the fishing action.
LukeYVR also arrived soon after, it seemed like everyone thought the fishing was about to get hot. :P
Once everyone settled down, it was all fishersak's show.
He hooked into one beautiful chrome female pink. A few good runs, to the left, to the right, and I quickly scooped it up for him. This doe was about the same size as the bigger doe I caught yesterday. His second of the season, and bonked for more tempura that he praised so much about while we were fishing. :)
FishOn, Chrome Mykiss arrived moments later. Chrome Mykiss sat and watched us for a long period of time, as he thought it wasn't worth dipping the line in with so little surface action. ;) He later walked to another spot further downstream from us.
I then hooked into one fish, just several meters from my feet. The hook quickly popped out, and the spoon flew up over my head. ::)
Not long after, fishersak was into another fish! :o This time, Perch performed a flawless netting job, unless his previous nettings last weekend. :P ;)
Two for fishersak, none for us yet. FishOn was the next one to connect for a few seconds.
I moved further down to fish next to LukeYVR, to catch up on gossips. He had missed a few hits, rusty season opener. ;) All was well when he finally hooked into a little female pink around 7pm. I quickly netted for him and casted my spoon out again, hoping to entice the others in her school. ;)
The effort was not paid off. :-\
Fishersak decided that two were not enough, so he hooked one more. This fish quickly popped off, so fishersak ended up with two for dinner. :)
Despite a slow day for some, it was still quite enjoyable. :) We are still early in the season, the good fishing is just around the corner. ;D

I was spell checking then noticed, Rod's just posted a detailed report.. ::)
We'd stolen Rod's mojo or was it his invisible treble hooks.. ;D
Saw an angry Blue Heron chasing around an owl.
Heard what sounded like a bullfrog.
The pink I 've got was quite small, but had decent amount of roe. It's being pickled in a pro-cure now.
Small bull trout attacked my spoon close to the bank, but the hook popped out.
On the radio, I heard another train carrying sulphur derailed near Hope.
Whether chemicals got in to the Fraser or not, is not known yet.. Doh!
-
Oops, sorry. :-[
I thought that bull frog sounded more like a cow... Awfully loud bull frog coming from the other side of the Fraser... :o
The crazy heron was probably the highlight of my outing. ::) ;)
You forgot to tell people what happened to you while you were cleaning your fish. ;D
