Anyone got a harbor weather report for me? Going to go do some crabbing but the wife needs ideal conditions these days. Like 5 or less.

RC,
Try the following link for instant harbour condition. Surprise you don’t know about this one. Anyways, you helped me out in the past scaring away someone from my traps. Thought I return the favour.

With the recent update on quarantine last Wednesday, Anyone know whether you’re allowed to bring a fishing buddy along now? Or still only family and living companions?

Hey guys, what is the tactics if I want to catch rock fish around thrasher rock, any difference with Ling tactics? Thanks.

Find a rock pile and drop some sort of heavyish flashy silver lure.once you hit bottom, reel up a bit and then jig until you get one.

I wrapped up some fishing mostly juvenile fish 7lbs 4 or 5 hook ups at 120' on the rigger. This was off worlcombe and a couple on the way to the hump. first time fishing the hump went out to the 600' mark. Can see how this is a popular spot. Went over to hole in the wall and a couple 7 lbs. Next im going over to thrasher end of may june.

How did you make out GreenHornet ?

Sunday and Monday early tides were really good. Springs were quite high in the column made for some awesome fishing on a short leash

Fairly nice day at thrasher as soon as you set the rigger it would be fish on smaller ones. At 140' got kicked around a bit current was too much for two riggers and lost a cannon ball and dropped the second one slipped off the snubber. Went to harbor chandler got a gibbs white glow hootchie which had been working lost that one to earlier. Got a 20-21 lbs fish 89cm on purple haze flasher green silver skinny g spoon at 170'.

Got home late last night, lets just say we were busy all day started at grande for high tide and as soon as we put the rods down it was on like prodjsaig mentioned.went and fished offshore thrasher and the HOOK and hit fish fairly consistently.turned to home and hit fish out to 1000 ft so there is a good mass around,lucky to get limits on crab in the harbour as well great day !!

Since I am in the mode of ensuring the economic viability of local tackle shops, what is a cream soda flasher and where do I get one?

(Ok maybe 3 in case I lose 2, which of course never happens but I feel better having 3).
