Cheers thanks, I pulled the pin on the idea of going out pretty quick.

Yup. LOTS. If you're not getting on them in relatively short order... MOVE. Try fishing selectively and you may catch better quality too. Be ready for anything... a few more larger fish in the mix in the mid-upper 20 lb class like the pic a few posts up. Just talked to someone who fished there yesterday who lost 2 about that size.... and one larger estimated in the 28 pound range which broke the Sickle hook off the new Homeland Security spoon.

Have a couple hours tomorrow and wanted to try out Bell Buoy or QA. Any action around there lately?

Making my fist crossing from Port Moody to Thrasher tomorrow morning (leaving after 9). Weather looks good so hoping for the best. My new Hewescraft is stuck behind another boat I'm working on so I'm taking my 28' Bayliner Contessa fly bridge instead (fuel will be spendy but I enjoy her). I was out last Friday at the hump off Bowen Island and caught a nice one just before packing up. Never been on the golf island side for fishing but I'm really excited from what I hear. Would be great to ping someone out there but don't know what channel everybodys on. Will post how it went later.

We picked one up at Thrasher yesterday. Ripped over, got there just before 8. Had some equipment issues so only managed to start with 1 line in water. Within 5 seconds of lowering to 120' had a big hit, but didn't stick. As I was clipping on rigger to lower again, spoon was taken on surface. Undersize. So within 30 seconds of fishing we have 2 hits. I was thinking this was going to be pretty epic. But we decided to go to Silva to sort out our equipment issue as we wanted at least 2 lines in. Well we found out Silva has no gear. Filled up with gas, back out there, my bro rigged a temp set up to deal with our equipment issue that worked pretty well. By 10am we had another couple of fish to the boat, one keeper, 2 unders, then it went real quiet. One more under before we packed it in at noon and came back over.
Not many boats over there - maybe 6 that we saw. We saw one boat that looked like it was into a good one, and saw another couple of fish netted. It was ok action, but not what I thought it would be. Fished Homeland and a Lighthouse Glo spoon.
If I was to do it again, I would probably only fish 15-20 mins in one spot and if nothing doing, pick up and move north/south/east... wherever I felt lucky. We fished in anywhere from 400-600 feet of water, anywhere on rigger from 110-190. Most hits came in the 110-140 range.
