Take her fishing. Remind her of it when your old and need a place to live......

Haha no doubt I'll be reminding them of lot's of stuff like that when it's their turn to take care of us!!

Looks like Friday morning may not be too bad either.

Same spots which have been decent for a few weeks. The "Spot" has been quiet as of late as much of the bait has moved on....the other more westerly spots have been better and are closer to the Union

Thanks! After heading out further to find the fish last week (Costa Rica) and reading the great "local" reports last weekend, I was hoping the "Spot" would hold up for this weekend ... guess we'll have to find a new spot tomorrow.

The fish are still on structure...just moving around a lot. Howe Sound has it.

I know people who plied the Harbour since morning and still are and have yet to boat legal dinner...except for Crabs

Last couple years I've done pretty good from the mile marker to the bell on this weekend ,but I just started to fish up Howe sound again and I've seen a lot of bait and done pretty well so what's a guy to do lol tight lines everyone!

 

[Matthias]

Heading out tomorrow for the window of low wind, likely south side of Bowen . Going for the trifecta again

 

[noluck]

don't forget the new licence

Me thinks there might be a little bit of bait down there this morning ...

Pounded around yesterday and had one hookup at Tunstall at 90 feet on a chovy which came un buttoned. Fished there from daylight for about 4 hours then moved to the hole and fished there for couple hours where we got an undersize. Talked to some guys there that had one legal on board. They were fishing there from morning till when we left there. Went to Defense after that where there were a couple boats fishing the shallow sea bed drop off. We trolled around there a couple hours with no action then headed back to fish the stretch between Sunset and the hole where we had another brief hook up on a no bananas spoon.
Tons of bait showing in all the areas we fished. Water/wind conditions were great.

We hit our fav (secret spot) in Howe Sound this morning....
Loaded on EXTRA large....

 

[Reeltime]

[straightup]

Great now everyone will be getting larger prawn traps.lol

 

[capt hook]

Well , thats part of our secret , but i will tell you,....we did not use traps.
A special bait and hook.

 

[TheBigGuy]

The CIL lure works for all the biggies I hear. Hard to come by these days though

 

[Fishalot]

Looks like the old pulp mills have created special nutrients to create jumbo sized specimens

Had success on the south end of Bowen yesterday. Bites intermittent throughout the day, flat calm, limit of crabs and only a dozen prawns. Saw bait bubbling on the surface at times which was cool to see

 

[aussie]

Went out to today and it was rough

Tucked in off the west van shoreline in about 150-180 ft depth amd managed 3 shakers all undersize. ..did I mention it was rough?

 

[Matthias]

Anyone out today? Calm sees and blue sky tempted me to call take the day off. Wish I had.
