Well... Not that interesting... Don't read on... ;D
Yesterday while spinning, I had another fish rolling right beside me again. This time it wasn't a tiny jack, but a gigantic spring. :o At first glance I thought it was a seal based on the size of the splash, but I did get a peek of its tail... Wow! :o
No fish yesterday... Didn't get a single touch.
This morning I headed out to try the outgoing tide. The outgoing tide this morning, or this entire week, is especially strong as tidal difference is huge. Fished with a spin n glow and roe sac as the current was strong enough to get some spinning going. Not much happening. I had one good tug but was too late as there were two fish rolling in front of me at the same time. :o
This afternoon Fishersak and I headed out again. Before Fishersak arrived, I had spotted several fish already. I saw... pinks! Pinks were finning on the surface. One of the fish that finned, didn't look like a pink, but it was a nice size coho.
I did manage to hook a fish tonight, but came off pretty fast. Nothing big, it was probably a coho jack, cutthroat or small dolly. We will never know. ;D
I had one tap that was definitely a pink, but it didn't commit to the spoon. 8)
Fishersak managed to land one fish today, a lonely pikeminnow. ;D
Tomorrow... i can feel it now... :)

Just because it's an even year doesn't mean there are NO pinks. It just means there aren't enough for DFO to even consider having directed fisheries on. From a quick surf around their web site, it appears they don't even bother to do stock assessments for even years.
That seems a little silly IMHO since it would be possible to build up an even year run. The north coast rivers have both even and odd year stocks at harvestable levels. But I suppose restrictions designed to protect pinks might interfere with the all-important sockeye fishery, so they pretend the even year pinks don't exist.

That depends on the rest of your gear actually, I only use 1oz as I am fishing with a pretty light spinning outfit. The disadvantage is that I wouldn't be able to hold in the faster, deeper water near the middle of the channel. However, I've found most of the fish are holding closer to shore.
