Anyone been out ballenas or mistaken islands? Went out for an hour a couple days ago and no love. Although I figured out auto pilot which is nice

Fish were finally at Mistaken again today. Mostly undersized but 2 keepers. Steady action during the morning bite.

Out between Gerald and Mistaken this morning. Lots of action and one barely legal 64cm.
Trolling white hootchie and 602 plug. Equal action on both. Down 160-210 in 300’ of water
First blood in the boat

Went for an afternoon rip, trolled and got into a nice spring, 13 ish pounds. Nice clean no net release. Mother in law learned why we call mooching reels knuckle busters. Pulled the prawn traps and had a nice haul

Went fo a fish this morning. One hatchery coho, one wild and hooked into 4 springs. Long line release on the sprigs

Fished a few times over the weekend. Bites were spotty. Nothing for half an hour then bang! Double headers one after another. Managed 2 clipped coho and released a few nice springs and lots of smaller guys. Lost a bunch too. All caught 90-140 feet deep.
Released one beauty spring Saturday evening. All on spoons

Great action.
