Lots of room to maneuver. It was great weather but wind and waves chased me back to shelter.

Not uncommon for eagles to drown, especially if they are too far from land to swim to shore. seen several eagles swim to shore and climb out on the rock.
Their talons aren’t designed to let go after they grab something in the water until they land. Could have grabbed something too big or awkwardly which pulled it into the water.

Are you part of the avid angler program? I'm not saying this because I care about what you're doing. I'm just wondering if you actually ended up getting set up for it. I heard of people applying but never heard if they actually were registered in the end.

I went back to him a few times last year but nothing. I wouldn't be much good this season anyway, swamped with work. Although I am gonna make a run for egmont tomorrow for an epic 2 day tour...yaaahooo!

Beauty day last Thursday on the water so I took my dad out. Ran from north arm all the way up to Secret Cove. We were going to fish north of Gower Point and the water was so flat we just kept running. Figured I'd post here because there's not much else going on and who is against a photo of a happy old guy and a fish?
Got this hatchery fish off the E side of Epsom Point, in 70' of water, at 60' on the downrigger. Two bigs runs pulling out line. Taped out at 71cms. Released and took off in a shot. Lots of fish around too. We lost 3 others and we got a couple of lings in an hour of fishing. 30+ knots all the way back in time for dinner.

I was in egmont a couple weeks ago and landed a nice 14lb hatch. (A very white spring)There are def fish around.

I came in last night at 6 pm and did not notice much Snr activity other than the hovercraft. It was flat calm too.

Ya thanks, I totally dig that new flasher...the kinetic moon jelly have been working great too.
I'm going out this weekend. I've only been out three times since the end of April. Wife had a baby, my house reno is far from complete and im slammed at work. Plus i managed to pull the boat out and bottom paint it. Life is ruining my fishing. Last time I went out was the westvan patch the dfo graciously granted us. Skunkcity.
I'll be crossing over to Thrasher. I was thinking about dropping traps off passage on route. Do you think it's pointless? I normally get 60-100 prawns per trap I'd be fine with 20 per trap. I'm more curious and assume the commercial guys are wrapping up by now.

Though to sneak out last night for a quick fish. Weather was beautiful and water was calm. Fished HITW (sunset marina to horseshoe bay). Was out from 5-8 and was rewarded with 6 hits and 3 in the boat tagged and sampled. Funny thing was previous trip nothing seemed to be working for flasher/lure combos. For laughs I picked the oddest flasher/lure I had and wouldn't you know it was getting hits. Used it last night and 5/6 were on it again. Moral of the story never be afraid to experiment as the results can be surprising.

That Gold flasher used to be called a Sooke special.
