It snapped just above the joint while I was trying to pop it off the clip to check the gear. It was only a convergence and its already been replaced with a couple techniums!

That’s a solid double! Definitely better than the 12” trout sized shakers that I had on the weekend. Nice job!

What area do you work there? I tried it for the first time tonight and fished the ledge around the rock into Deep Cove. I gave it a couple of passes and headed into Samson Narrows. Sounds like I shoulda stuck it out at Wain, cuz I got no love in the Narrows.

Horrible. 1 prawn. With the number of traps around it's a wonder there's any left.

Sorry to hear about your prawning happy about the salmon however.
If you had done well on the prawning I was going to move up repowering so I will stick with the plan and just trout fish until the summer.
55 years ago I fished bluebacks at Wain rock and I remember the limit was too generous that’s why we don’t have that run anymore
Please excuse the reminisce

Released an under at Wain this morning, then went to Fairfax and released 8 and 10 lbers, then nothing at Coal for the low slack. 1 fish each at Fairfax for strip and ap sandlance.

Fished Hamley yesterday and only one pin popper that didn't stick. Was a few boats there but didn't see much happening.

I pulled a small one out of Coal on Sunday morning, about 7 lbs on an AP sandlance. Lost a good one on the bait side as well.

Red can is pretty easy go out from Tulista boat ramp towards Sidney spit and the marker is on your right towards James island if you grab one of the Sidney tide table books from capital iron or Sidney hardware it will give you distances and directions to coal it's not far maybe 3 or 4 k from ramp

In all seriousness:
Sidney Spit is a consistent producer for me from about 500M north of the point to about 500 south of the point. Beware the gunk/grass on a flood tide and this area is DANGEROUS for submerged traps - be very aware of any slippage in your downriggers.
Coal Island: North-east corner is a very hungry reef that holds good fish (and many cannonballs). From there troll along shore, then across to the small islets, then back to the reef (kind of a trapezoid shape)
