Caught this one in about 80' of water off of the winchelseas. Nothing in its stomach. Had a few worms as well. 12lbs.

 

[TipUp]

Fished off the fingers Saturday afternoon. Caught and released 5 plus spring in the 10 pound range. Herring aide and blue/silver skinny g at 130-140 feet. Very few boats out.

any coho showing up off nanaimo yet?

 

[Bearded wonder]

Finally got the boat out today for its first fish of the year. Been a long off season with massive house renovation/addition plus busy life.
Went out from 2:30-5pm off Neck Point and Pipers. Steady action. 6 to the boat plus a underside ling. 3 of the springs were in the 10-15lbs range. Not bad for shaking the cobwebs off. All on spoons. AP herring and a plain shiny chrome spoon ( it used to have green but has been all worn off). 110-130ft on the riggers.

Wondering if anyone has had luck finding coho?

Disappointing scene at the cleaning station at Brechin today, some guy was cleaning 3 undersized lings and had the carcass of what looked like a yellow eye.

Did you report it? I'd be following him to his car and taking lots of pictures like the paparazzi at a minimum.

I did, I don't have high hopes after hearing about your reporting experiences.

Yeah it's usually a bummer for sure.

Every report helps even if they don’t catch him that day.

I suspect blatant ignorance to the rules. Not sure many people have the balls to clean illegal fish out in the open. No excuse though.
