As promised, I am reporting on how my novice fisherman friend did at Brown's Bay last week. He did well. 8 springs were caught fishing in the bay just north of Brown's Bay (on the Vancouver island side). He did not fish that much in the time he was there so it sounds like decent fishing in that area.
It is still producing, but it is definitely cooling off. We got three yesterday, the largest being around 11 pounds. There are some cohoe starting to show and some of them are pretty large. I know of a boat yesterday that caught a 10 pound ho.
I fished between both cans on Friday late afternoon/evening and on yesterday (Sunday) late afternoon/evening. Got 4 springs in 3 hours on Friday. Yesterday was slower. Only landed one Spring, lost another by the boat on a netting malfunction, and released an undersized. Lots of bait between the cans last night. All in all, still pretty good fishing.
Would appreciate a report on how you make out GS...tight lines!
Little choppy off the green can this morning but bait and fish were still to be found
No reports, so had to spend the evening tieing up sockeye, coho and spring gear.
good job! i looked long and hard at the slop and said nah but it laid down big time this afternoon. will probably head out tomorrow
Lots of bait along the eastern side-I jigged a keeper right at the hump-wasn't really interested in salmon and trolling but they were there. Sun at 10 am to 2 pm
it’s a good thing. pulse closures and helps replenish the fishery. they are berried right now.
Darn…I just moved to CR and hoped to get out, over the winter and do some prawning.
In the Conservation thread. Someone posted an article about a fisherman being fine $18k for not following the rules. Second one in a year or so, both had the book thrown at them. Hopefully the ones who don’t follow the rules will learn the hard way. I guess we’ll be out April 1 too.
