[backyard bucks]

  every day that is one of the first things I check!!!!!! 

[Dhoey07]

Record run!!!! Starting to get a little twitchy at work thinking about them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CP]

Is anyone actually catching any of these?

[Duckhunter14]

I heard a rumor that they may enact an emergency rule change and up the limit to 6 fish. Anyone else heard this? 

I'm headed over to the Columbia tonight to fish for the weekend, I'll try to send back a report asap. Have a buddy that caught 12 sockeye in a couple hours the other morning.

Can one fish for these Sockeye from shore somewhere, or is a boat required for Columbia?

[Stein]

Sockeye are probably the easiest salmon to fish from the bank as they usually run right against the shore.  Not sure where to go but Google will probably help you out.

How do you rig for them?

2012 had a 6 fish limit so one can hope!

How do you rig for them?

Trolling, flasher, 12-18" leader, smile blade with mini squid tipped with a pinch of shrimp.  Anywhere from 15-35ft depth.  And go a little heavy on the leader, 15lb min.

From the bank, never tried it but i'm sure a SnG with a chunk of shrimp would work just fine

OK it is official SIX fish limit starting July 11 or July 16 depending on location how do I get in on this??? Is the area around Vantage good ?? I would love to get my son onto this ideas??

Thanks
