Went to the Brewster Pool for the second time ever, and the first time for chinook. Fished Sunday night and Saturday morning. We hooked up a lot but it was definitely a learning experience.

Sunday night we hooked chinook and sockeye on our sockeye rig ( 00 dodger and a pink macks chacha swuidder) and also a few larger chinook on a brads super bait. but like i said it was a learning experience, and the few we did manage to land were all wild. But we made the mistake of bringing a net that was smaller than it should have been.. by a lot... so we lost a few to that, one straitened hook, yada yada yada, mistakes were made.

The last fish we hooked was at about 5pm monday. It was taking line like crazy and then I made the mistake of tightening the drag slightly and the 20lb leader I rigged the superbait with popped, and a monster chinook took off with the only superbait that had hooked a fish in the two days.

We also got our limit of decent sockeye monday morning really easily fishing one sockeye rig and one chinook rig.

No keeper chinook but the 4 rating was because if i could hook a dozen or so in a day and a half it must be pretty decent.

there were more boats in the morning than in the afternoon. maybe 40 or so boats at the most ? we had plenty of room most of the time.

The trick is letting them run and do all the work. With the water temps so high, they'll burn themselves out and then it's just a matter of keeping enough pressure on them to make sure the barbless hook stays in place. If I may ask, what pattern of superbait was getting it done for you with the chinook?

i don't remember the pattern name, but it was pink on the back, with little gold glitter bits in it.

does anyone know how late the fishing lasts in Brewster usually? I really want to get another trip in still, but I don't have a clue how long it lasts.
