Fishing for pinks by shipwreck right now.

[Rob]

went out last night and the water was pretty good.  just the occasional whitecap peeking up.  very comfortable in my little 14 foot wahoo.

That said, I did not have even one rod pop off a rigger.  I think I am cursed.

They aren't gonna pop the rigger. If your rod isn't fully loaded up you won't see the bite. Its rare we even get a king to pop the clip. Most just bounce the rod.

If you set the clips right they will. 12" Kokanee pop the clips in our boat.

are you running 11" flashers for the kokes?

[hogslayer]

Fish will pop your release all the time. I caught 5 today And lost 3.  Three if those were silvers and they all released.  You are most likely putting your line to far in.

Sometimes.

You are setting your line too far in the clip if it does not pop off with a solid hit/hookup...anyways.
Out yesterday, 1 nice king first thing in the am (dang), then a coho using a new technique, then another, lost 5 boated 4, stopped trying for humpies..... a few crab and no new gear since my pot was still were i set it 

[Button Nubbs]

Tried setting it closer and couldn't find a happy medium between popping on a fish and getting a false release. Of the 25+ kings we hooked in 9 and 10 this summer I can only recall 2 popping the clip. Might have something to do with the speed we troll

[CP]

I like my releases tight so I don’t get false trips and the hook is driven deep when the fish hits.   It takes an aggressive strike to pop the release and pinks rarely strike hard enough to do any more than wiggle the end of the rod.

The nets are back.  There was a small gill net set in shallow water off the shipwreck yesterday and a purse seiner lurking about a mile north. 

[h20hunter]

I admit I had a few words with the smaller blue seiner boat and his shrew of a boat mate. Sunday they set their net and drug mine and another guys three crab pots about 500 yards. Didn't even get a sorry. When I asked them not so politely why they couldn't keep their s.....stuff.......outta my s.....stuff the bi........gal said they could have just kept it. The 2 min conversation went down hill from there.

I'm done for the year fishing the humpies....I'll get out for silvers next month after I'm done elk hunting.

Man that chapped my butt.
