do you find jigging is productive in the middle of the afternoon, or is that more of a later evening thing. I have only done it a few times but waited until almost dark.....??

There are some opportunities up there for lingcod etc that you’ll only get on good tides.

Well fellows, I never thought I would ever live to see the day where I had trouble catching a fish SMALL enough to bonk!!
It is definitely slower this weekend that the last few but lots of big fish around. We fished 3hrs in the morning and had 6 or 7 under sized to the boat and 5 over sized fish, ranging from 93cm to 107cm. Headed over to Teakerne Arm for a visit with family and a swim in the lake, back to do a few passes between 5 and 7pm. Had another 90+cm fish, half dozen runts and FINALLY a bonker at 78cm.
The amount of bait out in the AM was insane! It was so thick in places that the sounder was indicating bottom at 125ft in 250ft of water!

Fished browns bay for few days. Fishing was pretty good. Not on fire but good. The 4 of us killed 8 slot springs and also ran into some pinks coho and a chum. Seen some fish bonked at green sea aswell. Chatham pt was quiet the day we were there.

I was out last night after 5:00.
Started at the green can.
Slow until dusk around 7:30 / 8:00.
Very light hits and no fight, but good sized chinook when they got to the boat.
Only saw one other net, most headed in before the "light bite".
Edit: Hootchies right on the bottom.

Fished Lewis channel 2 days ago. Picked up a couple keepers and lost a couple. Went for a swim at Castle lake, stopped in at Refuge cove for fuel then off to Lund for fish and chips. Great end of summer day trip for the Wife and I.
Looks like Refuge restaurant didn’t open this summer but are rebuilding/expanding their deck for next summer. Can’t wait.

I took a tour all around desolation and up to Phillips Arm yesterday. Refuge Cove was a bit sad, no ice cream buckets. I know, first world problems. Lots of lumber heading up to the restaurant deck.
Stopped in at Blind Channel too. Such a nice spot.
No fishing on this tour but saw humpbacks, orca, dolphins. A couple of sea lions at Stuart Island were munching a large Chinook and came over to check us out.
Wonderful day of wildlife, we live in a magical part of the world!
