Damn I could t get out of the North Arm this AM. it was so lumpy. I thought if it was this lumpy in the river then the chuck was going to be worse.

You lost me at “ mega waves”. Lol

Well... it's all in the eyes of the beholder... I was out there in the 16 footer in an unforcasted 50 Knot wind that blew up... pretty quickly the 2 footers become breaking 4+ footers. Sketch in the small boats. Fortunately able to tuck in behind a tug boat barge to get back into the river. It's definitely not open ocean type swell and waves. Just want the small boats to take caution.

Remember the day i went into town to collect the Bertram came out the North arm to be greeted by 6' white caps coming straight in....
stuck up on the fly bridge i hung on and done a slow tac over to cowan pt and went the long way round to gibsons doing displacement speed on one motor...
only other boat i could see in the straight was the large DFO frigate .... 5+hours later .....lol
straight not to be messed with when the wind is blowing for sure

How’d you do boss?

Anyone doing Sand Heads on the Monday off? Reports look reasonable.

I was thinking about giving it a go. Maybe pop a few lines at T10 first and then if that doesn’t work catch the flood at sandheads. Looks like the wind dies down as the morning progresses.

If it’s nice and calm, we may cross and try for lings, enjoy the day with a bbq lunch. If it’s lumpy, may do a few laps at SH and call it a season! Can’t talk myself into fishing the crap with 150 other boats, kayakers and seals.

Planning on one last go out there tomorrow too.

I am heading to Sandheads for the final run of the year this afternoon. Gonna bring the wife and kids as it seems calm and hopefully I can get them into a few fish.
