2020 Vancouver-Howe Sound-Sechelt Reports Thread

Fished SH today from 9 to 10 them 11 to 3. Why you might ask? Well the buddy wanted to drive... and snag a commercial trap popping off both riggers.... anyhow... Started about 9, landed an 18 about 905am. Then "hilarity" ensued. Went to PNT for a r-up. Back to SH at 11, went 2 for 3 by noon. all shallow at 66ft on the rigger in 200ft of water. Fished another hour, landed a wild ho and some shakers. Called it quits as one of the guests were a special shade of green. All in all a great day in shnotty water

Living dangerously only having two balls on board! That’s why I don’t let buddies drive. Unless they’re a “qualified captain”.

No “buddies” on my boat unless they’re boat owners themselves. Don’t ask me how I learned this....

Only hit of the day so far and it was a massive hit. Then Seal stole my trophy. Arrrhh

Fished the cap yesterday. Saw 4 fish caught all day one of which was my 15?16?17?lb wild spring (red)
Soft hit but he had some power when she realized she was hooked. Ripped back and forth at the back of the boat, lots of trying to toss the hooks thrashing then a skillful net job by my buddy brought her in the boat
Forgot to mention.... got her on anchovies dragging bottom. Jdf teaser head, clear/ Uv green stripe

One upper teens spring and one 14 lb chum at SH. Anchovies, 50 - 70 ft. Great weather today, and even better for those who will be able to make it out mid-week - jealous.

Edit: forgot the spare part I needed to repair one of the downriggers, so using the emergency crank handle on the today and bringing back memories of the old Scotty Depthmasters

Gonna be an awesome week coming up. Clean smokeless sky and sun with temps in the 20's hopefully. Will provide reports. Hopefully a new wave of fresh fish have arrived at SH.....
