All were on the bottom in 180 feet of water except one that hit a plug on a double stack, that one was suspended about 60 feet off the bottom.

Ok, I kinda suspected that, but I was unsure. My bad lolSavary, more like unsavoury. This came from the Pacific Herring Spawn Reporting - IMAWG FB page and is probably Cortes.

Apparently it's a thing in Japan.
Ide say they were around four lbs each. Didn’t know at the time if they were legal or not so gaff release in the water.

Remember the Garry Cooper show last year about this time showing guys fishing squid? Anybody gonna try for squid out in the Straights in 1000 ft of water this year? My boats yet to be splashed. I'm gonna try in May but that's a while off yet.......Can't help but think there's a whole new fishery for us to get into. I'm currently on the Med and watching guys ever afternoon late in the day load up with nice 2-3 lb eaters....

Still on my list. I have the jigs ready to go and a 8000 spinning reel with enough line. Find the hake, find the squid. Vancitysalmon was hitting them last April off Lions Bay.

Fished the contours off Gower Point and Chaster Creek yesterday for an hour. Got into some nice winter chinook in 180' - 220', especially in the corners where some shelter from the current held bait.
6 fish to the boat in an hour, 2 would have been slot fish, all released in the water. Also 2 rock fish, so if you're fishing this area keep your descender handy. Rock fish consistently showed up schooled on a hump or pinnacle. Then the telltale wiggle on the line and dead weight pull.
All the fish were super fresh and energetic, including 2 jumpers. Best producer was black / black Pacific Angler flasher with white anchovy 3.5 spoon.

I know some girls from uni that would jump in pretty quick
Fished past the red bell in the harbor on Wednesday. Broke my down-rigger holder so only used 1 rod. Caught a flounder, small spring, 60 cm spring and a ugly cod. Kept the cod and it tasted great. Crabbing was very good. One trap had 6 keepers. Caught 11 keeps in 4 traps. I let 3 keepers go.

Hard to resist light winds and sunny high-teen temps. I’ll be out Saturday.
