Gotta love Pink squirts!!!

[Sitkaspruce]

Was out today as the wife and a friend of hers wanted to get some socks.

It was a great morning, left the dock at 6:30, and was into steady fishing for most of the morning.

Ended up with 10 fish, 3 springs. 32, 26, 16, 6 socks and a pink.

The friends first spring...and tyee

The best thing was all were on a pink squirt. I love a pink squirt at this time of year!!!!:mrgreen:

There is still fish around, although the socks seemed to have slowed down a little.

The fish we took home ended up canned in 32 500 mil jars.

It is a smaller version of the pink hoochie, ~2.5' long. I buy them in bulk and put a barrel swivel and 4.0 siwash hook in them. The big hook helps with the hook up as it usually buries the hook into the mouth/head area instead of the lip like you get with the smaller hooks. I fish htem 16-18' behind a pink/chrome flasher.

Not sure why the springs like them at this time of year, but I have caught lots of springs on them, especially on the top rod. Tried fishing them earlier in the season and no luck, but in late august, it seems to work.

835 you would have like the sight that and old pal from here saw the other day. A seiner made a nice set in Blackfish. My buddy stopped his boat just to hang and watch. Seiner did just fine but what he got the biggest charge out of was one lone troller at the fringes, out of the way. Buddy had two gals on deck cleaning socks as fast as they could but it wasn't fast enough, they were up to their knees in fish. :mrgreen: And, I don't need to tell you the set up... every snap the same....

Yup, I remember waking up, eating porage as fast as you could. To jump in the hole and glaze as fast as you can. All the while hearing the "THUMP THUMP THUMP" of the humpies hitting the checkers. When i got out the checkers were full ( about 500 fish ) and it was gut as fast as you could...
10 seconds was the fastes gut... no wash. 3 fish a minut with wash.

Was better when they were socks though!

Nice! As much as i'd love to go get some more salmon, we don't really need anymore. I did up about 30lbs of candied salmon a few days ago. It was hot like that at Ledge point this weekend. We caught a 32, lost two springs, a 15, and seven sockeye.
