If it makes u feel better we went out for some coho to Sandheads the other night, not a single nibble other than an undersized hatchery coho lol.

You bum lol

 

[mikeyman]

What about coal docks Twsawassen for coho? Used to catch lots out there. I wonder if point Roberts is open and if u can fish it if u don't land due to covid....hmmmm.
We are going to try our luck cap ambeleside area on Sunday.

Where there are seals there are lots of fish, more seals, more fish. Too many seals now, each one eats a lot.

In general, seals consume 4 percent to 6 percent of their body weight daily. The average male grey seal, sporting a dark gray coat with silvery spots, weighs approximately 880 pounds and requires 35 to 52 pounds of food daily

Sea lions even more

So that means there are lots of fish though

Anyone in West Van with a wind report? Thinking about taking the fam out for some crab and a jig. Jericho cam looks a little breezy. And hell did you know a wind sock actually measures the speed?!

Ya never was a huge fan either. But having the 3 buoys now in the southern straight really helps to build the picture of whats happening and where its heading.

So looking at the report now 0.8 wave height would make the bay a little narly?

Fishing thrasher and it's a bad combo of silent and sporty out

I no understand!

 

[High Time]

Would be good if the buoy near Active Pass actually gave the wind direction????

 

[ReelFun]

I no understand!

Silent means no bites, sporty means rough/windy. At least I hope that's what it means.

This weather is just ridiculous. May lay down tomorrow night so I'm gonna wake up at first light monday morning and make the really tough decision between the office or the boat...

My harbour weather and water check list before i head out it helps out just a tad bit, sometimes wind direction is out to lunch when watching the cams

Well back from my dangerous catch mission. Tried thrasher, inside porlier pass, south Bowen and fisheries. 1 hatch coho to show for the effort caught at fisheries (30ft white hootchie).
