Nice fish "Pope" you sure do well in and around Sidney. I'm hoping to find some of these spots you speak of this year. Powder warf I found, fairfax? And I'm sure you're not doing loops around coal isl. My office is in Sidney so I have no excuse. Is that a swivel on the sand Lance?

I weighed and measured it because I submit my fish to the Sidney Anglers ladderboard. So I can confidently say it was 16lbs and 31.5"!

Haha you must have me mistaken with someone else!
If you pick up a Sidney Anglers tidebook, its got a great month-by-month breakdown written by Tom Davis of some of the more common tacks around Sidney. "Coal Island from Shag Rock to Dock Island and Charmer point", so if you can find those spots on a chart, that pretty much covers the tacks most people troll there. Theres a lot of good info and the booklet is free, so pick one up! Home Hardware will have them.
Yeah thats a swivel, I dont like tying right to the split ring!

Fished Coal Island today. Picked up a 25 inch, 8 pound hatchery Spring. Purple flash fly and flasher. Seemed to be lots of bait and birds around.

Fished coal for swhile the enc of the ebb and lost one then headed to the channel and did a few laps along james anc thd wharf. Got a very feisty 5 lber we put back and saw some little ones released by others. Lots of bait and birds st coal and the usual down by james. Andrew P anchovy with glow tape- black glow flasher, and bloody nose teaser and purple haze got the other. Great to be out on flat water again.

Did some laps around Coal yesterday around the afternoon slack. Two accidental lings (put safely back) and a feisty, but otherwise too small, salmon for us.
Bon Chovy Skinny G w/ Glow Green Hotspot was the "winning" combo. Lots of bait by the Charmers Point reef, but very few fish marked.
A good number of boats miming they didn't have any success either.

I got the thrill to fish with @advTHXance this morning in his unique fishing machine at Fairfax. Had fun fighting and losing a couple of 8-10 pounders and landed one just undersized. I don’t regret hogging the rods and it was a great day to be out on the water.

Don't spill all his secrets. He always hides the colours of the lures in his pictures
Jealous - but glad you two were successful!

Haha, not intentional. I often fish alone and it would be impossible to stage a pic with the lure positioned in such a way every time!Don't spill all his secrets. He always hides the colours of the lures in his pictures

Fished Coal again today from 8 till noon. Landed and released one small hatchery Spring on a lemon lime AP spoon. 60 cm so just a bit short of legal. 160 feet on the bottom. Beauty day and a fair bit of bait showing.

Nothing of note for me either. A couple in the 3-5lb range released with the gaff.
