Managed to scrape up one keeper out of several just unders at Grace today. Fished from 1-3:30. Didn't get a single hit after 2:15. Another gorgeous day. I'll be leading the fleet over to Thrasher tomorrow.

I thought that was you! Love your boat. I was yelling at @AndrewH who was trying to follow me around 😆. He had only unders as well. Too much damn work pulling those little pukes up from the depths.
And yes, I had my two daughters and two nieces. My 16 year old niece is really catching the bug. It's great to see. IMG-20250125-WA0011.jpg
 
I’ve slayed fish in front of McNabb Creek before, can’t remember the time of year though..
Oh you know what's funny, I thought you said Entrance. I was wondering why the hell you were taking about Mcnab. I'm an idiot. So the answer is no, I won't be at Defense. I'll be around Thrasher. Also yes, Mcnab holds fish, I like in shallow right off the reef better though.

Hah, that’s funny. And yes I was fishing right up tight. I always fished twin Isands (grace) right on shore as well, never fished the ledge, further out. Was always my go to though, used to have it all to myself.

Good luck on Thrasher rock!
 
Right on! Great picture. Looks like you were on the west side closer to Defence? Thanks for the info!
Yeah you got it. We sailed through the few boats that were there at dawn but didn't see any bait until we got out of the wind. Also a slightly falling tide which seemed to concentrate them along that back edge. Once the tide started rising everything found a new home.

We tried a number of spoons without a tap, but it could have also been that it was the top rod on our stacked rigger...
 
I went prospecting up Indian arm/deep cove. Not very much feed. I think we had a small one on....like very small...checked the hook and nothing. I may try it again someday. But my curiosity is now satisfied.
Where abouts did you try TMan? Last year (March) I trolled that point between bedwell bay and jug island and got a 17lb spring on a 602 4" Tomic plug. He hit within 5 minutes of getting the line wet. So naturally I tried all the rest that day, all next day, and a day or two later and got nothing before giving up on the area. :)

Beauty. I has hoping to stop for a tack with the 5 y/o on our run back from Gibsons, but wife and the 3 y/o got whalloped by the flu, so had to pull the chute.

Do you keep your rig at SYC/Blue Herron/Sea2Sky or trailer? Look for me out there - will be in the blue 26' Hourston flybridge. 🤟🤟
