Fish or two around at the cap this morning. Classic capliano comedy though, one small whaler montayk with 6 - 7 guys jigging halibut rods off the marker. Another small trophy running two rods of he downrigger, and two about 80 feet back off a jerry rigged outrigger, why do I fish the cap.......

5lb pink west of the pack at Cap. 70' on chovy. I'd do better with a 900 hp whaler though

It was actually a great marble. He was very lucky with his first Chinook in the chuck.

classic indeed. those guys seemed to be having a good time.... stationed right off the marker for the 3 hours we were there!!! Saw them get riggered at least once... the kayaker at least stayed in the shallows more than some others.... and yes, that home-made outrigger added to the excitement as well 
It wasn't even that busy but was still a mess.
We dragged bottom with chovies and managed a few bites but very spotty out there. Weather was 100% ... other than the fog bank that rolled in just as 2 freighters crossed paths under the lions gate... another exciting part of the morning.

Just wait until we find a decent school of herring so we can anchor up at the Cap and fish livies like we did in the 80s!

Gong show at the cap. I was one of the ones that ended up snagging the 15' "refugee boat" Whaler with 10 people on board that was out there jigging next to the marker (can they really catch salmon like that?). Also saw that outrigger boat almost take out a rod on an Arima. First time in a while I was completely skunked too. That fog made for an interesting ride home. Did I say how much I LOVE the mouth of the cap at this time of year?

Yes. I agree that they shouldn't do that at the marker but I've definitley caught a ton of fish that way. For years I fished in my 18' Maxum with a wakeboard tower and obnoxious speakers. But we always fished away from the pack. Green 4oz Zingers, all day. But now I'm a big boy with my fancy smancy downriggers and a head.
