Has anyone else been Sockeye fishing?

Doesn't affect me cuz I have no luck catching them at all!!!!

There are comercial fisherman selling them on craigs list cleaned & on ice for $10+ a head. Cheaper than buying a salt water tag.

With sockeye it's not about luck, it's more of a technique so to speak! Peg leg is a nut house... head a few minutes up stream and you'd be amazed at how few people wander to be on their own.

Yup, agreed to that. But for some reason I never catch them. The closest I got is missing 2 bites!!!!!

Sucks. My sockeye season is cut short after slipping on some rocks. So choked. Hope you guys keep it safe out there.

Happy fishing! Snag a few for me.

I did but for some reason they always spit it out. Maybe my hook is too small.

Cast out at 12-1 o clock, wind in slack if in a rocky area to help avoid snags, if not too rocky just leave the little bit of slack it wont matter, keep the rod tip up until the slack line gets tight, feel the weight bounce down, keeping the line tight.... when the rod tip pulls or the weight stops bouncing, set the hook.. once hooked you have to keep the line tight untill the fish has been landed, rod tip up and no slack for the fish to shake the hook..
