We didn't mark much at all on the sounder. Didn't see bait balls, but we did see a huge patch of krill right on the surface with fish finning right on top and gulls eating them. Never seen that before.

I think that the difference in PS vs. Sekiu is that you have to release the wild fish up there. We landed at least 4 or 5 fish each day, but had to release most of them. In fact, my buddy went home with 0 after releasing 3 fish that were in the low teens... all wild.

So, it's about expectations. If I were fishing at Possession, I think we'd call a 4-5 fish day a success... but not at Sekiu when in the past, late August and early Sept. is usually 15-20 fish days to bring home our boat limits of 6-8 hatchery fish.
