Much appreciated! Tight lines!Coho in Sidney waters are few and far between in my experience. Your best bet would be the open parts of Pender Island (either way offshore the bluffs or off south Pender). Pinks should be pretty thick there in about week.
C) have friends ….always keep the first. Lol.Pop quiz hotshot:
you’re fishing early afternoon on a stunningly beautiful day. Today to be specific. You get the rod down and get a hit within 10 seconds. You play it to the boat quickly and see it’s a likely a keeper 7-8 lbs 62-63cm.
Do you:
A) bonk it, turn around and go back to the launch and brag how good you are at limiting out within 5 minutes 2 trips in a row?
OR… do you:
B) ‘let it go’ (because your daughter watches frozen so much that stupid song is in your head and you can’t help but sing it to yourself 24/7), in hopes of catching a nice 14-15 pounder in the next few hours?
I made the wrong choice. I let it go. Then it was the shaker show for the next couple of hours.
I’m a doof.
Still nice to feel the thrill of catching itYep agreed. I done screwed up. That’s how we learn.
most of the action was on green glow stuff mid column at coal island. Bait was plentiful, and I did rock a few beauty dungees for dinner so not a total waste of time View attachment 69669View attachment 69670
Yeah it was nice.Still nice to feel the thrill of catching it
Sounds like the next version of Webster's has a pending update for "Stizzla'd"? Term has evolved from "can't catch fish" to "can't keep fish"? Happens to us all.Pop quiz hotshot:

It’s hard to believe I’m still rocking the same cannonball snubbers that came with my boat over a year ago!Sounds like the next version of Webster's has a pending update for "Stizzla'd"? Term has evolved from "can't catch fish" to "can't keep fish"? Happens to us all.
Well, now you've jinxed it.It’s hard to believe I’m still rocking the same cannonball snubbers that came with my boat over a year ago!
Lol that is a pretty wild tackYep agreed. I done screwed up. That’s how we learn.

Lots of action still. They like turns and coming at different anglesLol that is a pretty wild tack
I was out on Monday. We caught 2 in the AM. 12 and 18.5lb on AnchovieAnother beautiful but sadly fishless night. Lots of bait & boats over at the open area by fairfax. Didn’t see anyone fighting anything though. Bait boiling on the surface close in. Tried it all pink flasher snd pink hootchie shallow. Coho killer, skinny g, 602 plug. You name it. Zero bites. What are you guys having success with?
