Out fishing from 7-11:30 with a couple buddies this morning. Fished otter to sher Ingham. One bite. One fish.......was able to snap a quick photo before it was released...put up a good fight and swam away strong and healthy....only 200 yards more and we could have kept it!!
Nice to see you out with the boys!View attachment 27782 View attachment 27783 Pedder Bay was good to us today. Firstly it protected us well from the howling westerly and secondly it held a few salmon. I took 3 boys out and they had a blast. My older son Ricardo landed a scrappy 11#er and then lost another fish due to a line tangle. The other two guys had a few surprisingly big rock fish, all of which we were able to return safely - good to see them making a comeback in local waters. A woman in a Striper beside us played a feisty salmon for a while which she eventually landed only to throw it back - the skipper gave it a few nice greetings on its way for the lower Fraser natives. Lots of jiggers on the water - not sure how they did but there were for sure fish around. A number of good bait schools. Our hits came on AP spoon near bottom in 120-140' depth. The keeper had lots of squids in its belly. So technically full size hootchies should have done well too.
