Fished Coal from about 9:30 - 11:30. Bait was thick near Zero Rock. Picked up a couple of undersize. Tide was ripping pretty good so we moved to Moresby from 11;30 -3:30. Again, nothing big enough to keep. Absolutely beauty of a day and not much wind so no complaints. Lots of boats for January at both spots. Pretty much threw the entire tackle box at them. Most of the action on anchovies.
I was out Sunday off Coal. The little blue tinner that was all over the place. Got two under's ~4 lbs right off the bat between 11 and noon and then nothing.
Is "Zero" rock what others call Shag Rock? Due south off the East end of Coal Island. I thought Zero was of Cordova Bay.

well, it turns out I have crabs. A severe case of them.
Let’s start at the beginning:
I let the eagle soar today for the first time in too long. Lumpy ride out to fairfax, but I got there without trouble and joined some sexy butt boats. Hi to the guy and gal with the REALLY nice Parker.
I spent the better part of two hours batting about 8-10 just unders, (5-6 pounders). much of that time was me going in circles to fix tangles, or trying to fix my broken Scotty counter, but I still say I had enough hits and lands to say it was a confidence booster.
These were my weapons:
Right... the crabs!!!
So then I went back to my secret crab spot. Pulled up this times 2:
Between the two traps I had 6 keepers and 4 BIGGIES to take home so I left happy, and now the motors are being flushed while I’m cooking up crab for the wifey’s famous crab cakes. Yummmmm!!!!

I think I might give Sidney a shot in a couple weeks when the boat comes out of Hibernation. Limited experience out in the area, I will rip over from Cowichan. I'm thinking a 30 min run on a nice day.
