I made this Google map up a while ago to help me remember and to send to people when they asked where things are. The locations are not exact but pretty close. If you care about exactness, feel free to edit it and correct any mistakes or add any areas. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1z6XVPmab_Om2Av8LydY7xRfCn-w&usp=sharing If you open it on your phone (at least for me..) it'll show you your location so it can be pretty useful.

Started out a HITW this morning. Several other boats there but it was quiet. I did see some bait on the surface briefly but it didn’t stick around for long. Pulled up and headed over to Cowan Pt for an hour. Marked a few fish but no takers. Wind came up a bit so pulled up and ran back to HITW. Managed to get 1 keeper as I was pulling in the rods to head home - last rod in the holder popped off the clip as I was walking toward it to bring it in 
. Brought my neighbor out with me today and he was very happy to get a fish. Not very large (approx. 8lbs) but put up a good scrap nonetheless. Managed to get 5 nice keeper crabs to go with it on the way home. Very picturesque day on the water today. Looking forward to the next push of fish into the area. Fish was on an anchovy - nothing in it’s stomach.

Thanks for the map, Pete. I looked and realized that all I really need are the coordinates for one side of area 29-3 to create the Banana Line on my Garmin. Those would be listed below for Point Grey to North Arm Jetty Light to Sand Heads Light I believe. I think I found the Banana Line. 
Subarea 29-3
Those waters of the Strait of Georgia inside a line that
begins at
49°23.021′N 123°32.166′W [Gower Point]
then to
49°21.500′N 123°29.157′W [Popham Island]
then to
49°20.907′N 123°27.903′W [Worlcombe Island]
then to
49°20.397′N 123°25.979′W [Cape Roger Curtis]
then following the southerly shoreline of Bowen Island to
49°20.135′N 123°21.643′W [Point Cowan]
then to
49°19.823′N 123°15.880′W [Point Atkinson Light]
then to
49°15.936′N 123°15.860′W [Point Grey]
then to
49°15.440′N 123°16.778′W [North Arm Jetty Light]
then to
49°06.358′N 123°18.188′W [Sand Heads Light]
then to
49°08.997′N 123°38.497′W [Thrasher Rock Light]
then to the beginning point.

Just released 1 wild coho at roger curtis, homeland security spoon, 55 feet on the rigger,
Little bit sloppy out
Edit: just lost one on the surface rod, came out of the water and gone. Peeled some line out was fun
Just lost another coho, still sloppy out
2/5 just landed a hatch, on rod right at surface, starting
3/6 landed second hatch coho 45 feet white flash fly purple haze flasher
4/7 wild released same gear as above all at roger curtis
Ended up going 5 for 8, 3 wilds 1 on them being a real nice size.

South Bowen today - about 15-20 fish to the boat with many more hits but they didn't stick.
All wild coho except for 3 that went home with me.
40-50ft and Bon Chovy Skinny G -> about 5-8 hookups to the boat
25-30ft and Herring Aid Skinny G -> 10+ hookups to the boat
10-15 ft and Outfitter Skinny G (8oz mooching weight, no flasher with rod out the back) -> 3 hookups
This was all in about 180-200ft of water.
Best and first time this happened - landed a keeper and as it came into the boat it spat hook while in net. I grabbed the hook and flasher and tossed it back overboard and jammed rod back into the holder to deal with the fish. 5 seconds later I hear my reel start to scream as I hooked another, literally on the surface about 5 feet behind boat!! Landed that one but a wild so back it went.

Fished HITW Sunday 8am to 130am. No hits so moved to RC then it was on. Lots of coho to the boat. Getting them in the net and keeping them hooked was very hard! Kept one really nice one. Lost a 20 + lb spring right at the net! Spread the hook wide open! All in all great day but a bit rough for my 17 ft boat. All hits in the top water column. 30 to 70 ft. Small spoons. Pesca and kitchen sink. 150 to 250 ft of water. Had at least 15 bites but by the time I gt to the rod and tried setting the hook it was gone. Act fast guys! Lots of hatchery and wild out there. Saw lots caught. Good luck

Had a great morning on the water Sunday, lots of boats and lots of fish being caught off the south side of Bowen. Hooked into a beaut spring 19lb and 2 wild (released) 3 hatchery keepers. As mentioned saw lots of fish being caught which is exciting. On one side we were running the purple phantom with a 3.5 cop car spoon anywhere from 60-90ft the otter one was 30-55 with cop car flasher and a glow spoon,?we were moving at decent clip most of the time.
Stoked.
