They did the fisheries stuff first, then the DFO officer, with the aid of a checklist did the Transport Canada safety equipment inspection. There was a TC officer, supervising the inspection. He’s the one who gave me the sticker. Which I can show to any peace officer inspecting safety equipment.
hey Mike: we managed to jig two smaller springs and four coho today. The one coho i caught dwarfed the springs if that gives you any indication. also interesting is the other three coho were hatchery. i had one battle with a coho and at least seven or eight coho came all the way to the boat with him! naturally he shook off at the boat. this was all at the green can
The coho are getting to be a nice size-helps we can keep 1 wild--now if they would stay around for a week or so-got a friend on board tomorrow so going to have to troll off Kitty- not expecting a lot--well down in the mud I guess with artificial strip
I was up there a couple times during August, lots of jumpers but not much willing to connect. The south end of quadra, the lighthouse, fingers, hump, etc. were all so good it was hard to go somewhere else! Gonna make an effort to get up that way and out of kelsey bay more next year.
x2. plus add the coast of fuel, there was no reason to go poke around up there.
took two old timers out tonight and we harvested 9 fish tonight jigging in just over an hour. fishing is still very good but i suspect this coming weekends storm will move some fish outWell that makes sense. Seems the days of ripping to Chatham and green sea are over with the cost of fuel eh
What was your species spread like? The hump was more difficult than it has been previously, spent all of 15 minutes at the green can for coho though.
I had trouble with the tides on thurs at the hump-got it wrong--again-lots of movement on what I thought was a quiet mid tide hung in there-lots of undersized and then a very decent spring-truly nice mid morning. Thanks to the gulls for all the help and a 200gm shimano flat fall
I had a good sized spring come off at the boat on the rise, then nothing so I left and came back later on. Insane action right on the pinnacle, about 7 fish in 15 minutes half undersized and the rest popped off at the boat. Definitely got humbled!
we killed six coho and three springs. one of the coho was as big as the springs.
One of the most memorable days in my life was getting pulled out of school to go fishing on a family friends boat, way more worthwhile imo.
i was out for about three hours or so. i say go for it. i also lost a couple of fish. send the jig to the bottom of the bait; that’s where we got all the hookups. that boat of yours is so awesome!!
