That is just wicked!Coming up in August.
I think local but I will find out. He has a large boat in which he motored up from WA.Are they fishing local to hardy or running out to the ocean? Beauty of a fish!
I'm always happy to see DFO and the coast guard or police out on the water making their presence known. How did that go measuring and releasing a 120cm fish with them alongside? I only ask because I've seen a borderline fish go either way once it's killed and dragged aboard. Let's be honest 5cm is a very small measure especially trying to make it while leaning over the side of a boat.We came back with a bunch of fish from our trip last week. Limits of springs and Yellow eye, must have caught 15 hali, released 4 between 50-85 lbs, ling was a little slower than usual.
Springs were on the small side this year, lots of 8-10 lbs we weeded through. Too early for coho so none came home.
The Seaquilizer worked awesome, a permanent addition to the boat.
Interestingly enough, got checked twice in the first 3 days on the water; dock side by the CO's and RCMP, who looked at our licences, fish and trailer lights, but no safety gear or boat operators lic. Second time was on the water by the Officers from the Coast Guard boat, who showed up just as I hooked a good hali. They proceeded to check lic and check our fish we had. had a good chat with them and they were impressed that we had our **** together....apparently not a lot of people do.....the hali measured 120 cm and was released just as they left. Was good to see them on the water.
Cheers
