I’d avoid that Marina. The owner is very difficult to deal with. Had my boat moored there for a while and would never go back. It was up for sale so hopefully it sells and gets a decent owner.

Thanks it was about sixty years ago that a very pleasant man owned it and he and I even went to active pass in my little boat and caught an obscene amount of salmon. Sabestian Cabot was often seen close by I agree if it was a pleasant place I would love to tie up there

Here's a question for someone: why am I catching crab just outside Tsehum Harbour that have been rubber banded? Another one this morning and 2 others in the last few weeks. Another fellow crabber has also caught a few...
The only explanation I can think of is a commercial crabber about to get busted for too many crab on board, dumping them over the side. The poor crab are unable to defend or feed themselves.

I caught one in the same area (Tsehum Harbour) about a month ago? Maybe Greenpeace is buying crab at the local Thrifty's and setting them free

Did some jigging on Saturday. Got out a bit late and caught end of the bite. 3 springs on in first 45 min. Long line release, gaff release of a high teens wild and approx. 10lb hatch beside boat. So much fun jigging up salmon. Wind and current got too much so went for some shelter and ling fishing. Kept a nice ling 70cm. Then rough ride home with wind and current apposing. Made for tight waves and real choppy water.
