Fish there last week for the second time this year. Mainly in Trail Bay. We also fished along the drop off just out from and south of Reception Point. I think we brought 12 fish to the boat and came home with two.

Anyone have a trailer that can take a 27ft Bayliner 275 and is willing to let me borrow it for a few hours? Some debris in the water pulled off my transducer last time I was out and I need to screw it back on. It will literally take me 10 minutes to fix but the boat needs to be out. I’m based out of Lynnwood in North Vancouver. Maybe you are launching to go fishing and I could pull my boat out the water for 10 mins. Dugald 604-783-8983

Fished Tunstall Bay and Bowen Bay on Friday from 9:30am to 1:15pm, through the high tide at ~11:15, and it was quiet but had some luck after a bit of searching. 4 fish on, 3 landed, 2 keepers (both hatchery males).
First keeper was in 160' off the W tip of the bank that comes out from Tunstall. Brought it in, measured it, bonked it and bled it and DFO stopped in for a chat. I saw them lurking with another boat so had just managed to note the fish on my license. They checked barbs, used their own measuring tape on the fish, checked my license and were on their way. All cordial and niceness.
Second keeper was in 180' in Bowen Bay along the contours, in a pocket out of the current. Marked lots of fish along these pockets but could only entice the one to bite. The upside to getting checked is the second keeper came after and was larger, so no measurement needed.
Hoochies were better producers than spoons and the usual colour patterns – chartreuse and blue / purple.

Anyone ever fish the Indian arm? Is there anything up that way at all? I’ve always been curious.

I have not fished that area in decades, but the suggestion I gave is all we were getting at that time. No salmon that I recall around the corner and towards Deep Cove
I was fishing it last weekend. Just while waiting on the prawns. There is tons of bait. But no signs of salmon. I try once a year or so. Crabbing is real good.

Not it's not. It's terrible. Just... don't go there. Waste of gas.
