The guys at the tackle store made fun of me for buying a pack of gold sparkle hoochies. Nice to hear they might actually work one day.

That’s funny my buddy says he’s slays with the gold sparkle hoochie, he called me when I was out today, told me to put it down. I got a hit on it right away, undersized, but it was a couple hours after the bite and the tide was ripping. I’ll be fishing it again for sure.

 

[Salmonslayer1992]

Fished the sandbanks, right at slack for half an hour on the way to pick up my crab traps. Put gold hoochie down and got a hit instantly, caught an undersized. Landed a nice keeper 20 minutes later on squid Hoochie. Some *astard stole my trap though, just got it.

That's sucks. Trap stealing is just low.

Nice fish though!

Hello, Heading to Powell River to scan for PIT tags under cleaning tables as part of ongoing ocean survival research (https://www.survivalbottlenecks.ca/). We are aware of cleaning tables on the two docks immediately north of the ferry terminal and at the boat launch. Also aware of the table at beachside gardens. Are there any others? Docks south of the ferry? Lund, Stillwater Bay, Saltery Bay? Any tips appreciated

 

[Salmonslayer1992]

Lund has one, call marine traders or Powell River outdoors, they’d know.

 

[Salmonslayer1992]

Lots of fish out there, 220-240 on the rigger, 220-240 f.o.w

 

[Salmonslayer1992]

Caught some nice fish today, loving the gold hoochie’s. They seem to be out fishing everything else I put down. Coho point, 220-240 on the rigger, 220-240 f.o.w
