Well that doesn't help.

Good thing that we are releasing all those non-clipped fish, so they can swim into the gill nets.

Rumor has it one of those bowpickers went down by the I5 bridge due to being overweight. don’t know how true that is but I wouldn’t be suprised :dunno:

I made it back out in MA10 this morning.  Lost several, but got my two and was done at 7:45a.  Clearly ocean fish based on the number of fish around, but just not very big.  Both fish I kept were probably 5 lbs.

Same here, ocean fish, just not very big.  I did lose a better one at the net.  The ones that get away always seem to be bigger.

Here is a good identification chart for those miss clipped fish. Might be kicking back more hatchery fish than we know…

A lot of hatchery Coho didn’t get clipped at all back during the height of the Covid scare; now the fish are returning.  Not much we can do about that.



You can keep wild coho in 11 right?

Pretty much the same story for me this morning, except my conversion rate was better and I got done a little faster.  The bigger of my two fish may have gone 6 lbs. 

I ran up to Oil Docks to see how it was going, and was a little shocked to see a gillnetter spread out along the 9/10 line, right among the sport fleet.  Not sure what effect that has on fishing in the immediate vicinity, but I didn't see any nets fly in the time I was there.

Anyone know how to get the gill netters' season/schedule?
