I just drove down from Whistler, come on guys, howe sound looks great hahaha. Maybe Sunday, looks like a cooling trend with drier skys. Man that was an epic amount of standing water on the roads!
When into Howe sound today. Southerly Wind made it next to impossible to fish, we could only hug the shoreline from the waterfall to hut, If we got out too far it would blow us off coarse, and we would have to pull up and set-up again. The wind died down for an ok ride home 15 MPH to north arm. I have a Aluminum Hewes craft so not a deep keel, blows around easy. 2 undersized springs from 10-1:30, one was just under. Good haul of prawns and 4 nice 7" crabs.

Happy new 2021 Season, fellow Sportfishing forum members, Have some new toys to try for the 2021 season: Pro-troll herring rigs with e-chips, Pro-troll flashers with LED's and e-chips ( sure gimmick but who knows , may help?) and new "Swarm" dummy flashers to try hanging off the cannonballs. . Will report on same if appears to help and worth buying in new season. If junk and no better than good old normal flashers, cut-plug herring or anchovy rigs, will let you know.

Swarms are quite speed sensitive they really are designed to fish with bait-if it's not working Slow Down.

I've seen a number of positive reports on the Swarm on an Alaskan forum-positive to the point where I went out & bought one since the Wigglefin is such a successful idea-haven't used it yet though since I use actual dead bait very little.

Nice to hear Dogbreath thanks for info, and method to my madness and spending: If anyone interested and don't mind the cold, rain and wind; Herring are in heavy right now off docks in Richmond. Easily caught on sabiki rigs, and are really chrome and clean looking with the ice cold water this time of year. So we have all kinds of "dead" bait to try these new toys on - and all sizes of bait to play with, from firecrackers to jumbos.

When you say "the gap" do you mean off Plumper?

No I am referring to the narrow channel between the Gibson's bluff and Keats Island.

So inside of the reef on the howe sound side, nice...I wonder how it is around Salmon Rock or even into the Straits off Byng? Sounds like a Saturday adventure is in order!

That's right ab. The Howe sound side before you go through the channel into the strait. I haven't tried the outside lately. For me it's been more of a later on in the spring summer area. For me the inside has always been a good winter fishery and certainly more calm Waters as I often fish alone.
