Environment Canada shows 15-20. Windfinder and FishWeather show much more favorable conditions. Hard to not go with the Environment Canada report.

Bite just turned on at SH. Converted a dbl header and seen 3 or 4 others hook up in the last 30 mins.
11 and 13 lbs. 17 from 11 am this morning.
50 - 70 ft. Anchovies and grandé herring.
EDIT: not much of a bite after that brief flurry. Put in another hour and couldn't get the last one.
Also, lost a ripper in the morning. So a few fish around, but pretty scratchy. Beauty day though, glad to make it out today with the change in the EC forecast.

We left just before the flurry, but still finished with 2 keepers. Considering all the fish we saw hitting the surface between SH and Active Pass when we went across this morning, and then again on the way home, it's a wonder it was so slow today.
Launched out of N.Arm at 12:30 and went to T-10; worked it for an hour, nothing so on to Sandheads. Worked SH for the afternoon and was leaving after getting just two shakers and not seeing anyone else get any, trolling back toward T-10 well away from the pack and got a double header! Had both rods in hand with fish on both. The rod that felt like the bigger fish won as the other got off. Fish ended up wrapping around rigger wire, so I had to tail him into the boat. 19lb white spring buck. New anchovies and 2 minutes later a nice 23lb red doe. White was at 30ft and the red was 52ft. Flat calm; nice afternoon.

We came over from Salt Spring, and were surprised to find it got rougher the closer to home we got. The Straight was beautiful, Trincomali was chippy, and then Captain's Passage & Ganges Harbour were a pain in the a**. Of course those conditions were exacerbated by the Big Cruisers laying up wakes you could surf on.

I've been sitting here on the tip of Crane Point which is the south side of Village Bay, with the exception of boat wakes it has been like a lake out here. Went out on the boat for a quick watch of some orcas last night and they were creating the only ripple in the water.

Spent a couple hours fishing the north arm this morning. Calm but wind steadily rising. No action on bait/lures fished 30-80ft. Did not see any nets out.

I struck out yesterday fishing from 8 to 2 between the North Arm and T10. Tried everything. There was a lot of bait around on the surface. Very slooooow fishing but a gorgeous day so I caught lots of sun.

Well glad I ventured out, going up the river was a tad ugly but once you got to sandheads it wasn't too bad. This afternoon it flattened out quite nicely. Stayed with the crowd for the first 3 hours with nothing to show for it then headed out to 300' and towards delta port and within 30 minutes we limited out on springs, 2 in the high teens and 2 in the mid teens, the only boat within a mile... funny how that works...
