On this side 4 all reds nothing big ...used all my bait.

 

[Tinny]

Was at hump today. One 15lb white. One 63cm hatchery red. 132’ on spoons for both. Any reports from Roger Curtis today? Lots of boats there. Was quiet for me there yesterday. Heard that the killer whales were there on Friday.

 

[Fixit]

humped from 1-5 one undersized to show for it at 138ft/ og142r

 

[capman]

Fished Roger Curtis. From noon to 4. Only 1 undersize. Not many boats got into fish either.

 

[Ugly Betty]

Picked up one white spring and two under. Green splatter back got the job done. It seemed pretty slow at the hump. Also ran into the gypsy drifter yesterday and asked them to leave my traps alone. Pretty funny they removed the decals off that boat but not the glue residue. Still very obvious what boat name was.

 

[mikeyman]

Got a 14 a 9 and 6 unders at the hump Sunday. 10 good size crab. Nice calm day.

 

[ReelyDan]

Fished Thrasher on Sunday from 12-4. Three keepers and many more (2 red 1 marble); some long line releases. Depths varied from 250' to 600'. Riggers around 160-180'. 5.0 Pesca glow spoons did the trick, also heard that hootchies were doing well.

Interesting post. Thanks. We fished deeper water, experimented different depts and 135 seemed to be best for us. The biggest weighed in at 28 lbs and the smallest rod shake. The 14 lb slammed the rod with a bend I never saw before!As they say keep going till you find the fish and sweet spot.

Fished this morning south Bowen. Boat running really well..

4 strikes, 4 fish done by 9. Metals 90-130 behind Hot Spot Green Traditional Flashers (Yup, they still work...who knew ?) ...Airmar makes it almost unfair. Damn there are a lot of fish out there!!!

Headed out tomorrow...this time with Crab Traps.

A$$holes thinking about lifting my traps better be careful....armed with Binoculars....my old school bad butt Dad and a 57 mph boat.....and me....on vacation and nothing but time...

Fishing differently tomorrow changing up tactics.

The problem I have is with the Marina who moors a bunch of these boats....one Marina in particular now. They're a newer marina and based on dock footage...it is nice to have all that paid for.....however....I have certain ethics....the almighty dollar may make the world go around...but it's a black eye on the Marina. It'll get out sooner or later.

I hope these guys hit a BIG log at speed on the North Arm and sink on their way up river.

It’s not a hard boat to find, I think we all know what / who it is. When I do find it I will catch them and have a little visit aboard and I only have a 45 mph boat but it’s enough.....

 

[seatosky]

At Thrasher for the day . 3 kept and many more returned. 12lb, 14lb, and a 28lb. Consistant at 135ft. Water was calm and easy ride back into van.
