whose ready for sockeye!
We are about a month and a half away from the start of the sockeye run! Mid June seems to be the time when those boys and gals run in.
Fishing is more than life. It's a passion.

Re: whose ready for sockeye!
Sockeye around here is pretty much a Baker Lake show. The State let the SeaLions kill fish in the Lake Wash. drainage and those that are left are being protected by the Cedar River Kings so no Sockeye opening. Then, Baker Lake will get fish from the Skagit, good luck catching them in the river. We'll be fishing the lake starting in Late July into the first couple weeks of August. Absolutely yes, I'm ready and have a bunch of Baker lake specials all ready to go. It's a fun fishery and lots of sunny weather.

Re: whose ready for sockeye!
I already got sockeye in the form of kokanee.
Look for Wannafish A Lure on FaceBook
He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.

Almost all river caught sockeye are flossed or snagged.....

Re: whose ready for sockeye!
To quote a "canadian" fisherman names "screaming reels".......I catch a few sockeye every year float fishing a size spin n glo and some shrimp. I hate flossers and snaggers I am he best fisherman alive and would rather buy a sockeye from the store and cut it into various deformed pieces while attempting to fillet it than go to the fraser and floss sockeye with all those "Non-fisherman" i dont understand how that can be fun in any way I hate everyone who doesnt float fish im the best ever you should love me.......hahahahahahahahahaha
Re: whose ready for sockeye!
Don't start the mouth snagging argument again boys. It's tired, and it's not time. You have to wait until a new guy to the forum starts the topic like "what's this flossing thing all about". Then you can have it.

Re: whose ready for sockeye!
nah were just talking about some annoying guy on youtube
Re: whose ready for sockeye!
Then post the video! Inside jokes between two people don't really keep the forum interesting. And don't forget Halibuts. Another thing to keep you busy until the sockeye come.
