Hey FYI, Env. Canada got the English Bay and Georgia Strait weather and wave buoys up and running again. For your viewing pleasure on the website.

Went out after work yesterday around Cowan and Seymour Bay looking for Coho. Ended up with a Chinook double header right off the rocks just before high tide. Conditions were as good as they get. Hoochies at 25-95’

Coho reports that I have been seeing on another page usually have South Bowen as the place to get good coho action. For now, at least.

I know where I'd be right now. It's a special place.

Finally got out last night for a try at South Bowen - left dock at 5:00 back at 7:30. Stuck to the RC shoreline area in about 300-350 contour. 50' down, green flasher, white glow hootchie was the ticket. 3 hatchery coho kept, 3 nice non-clipped released, and missed getting about another 10 hits to the side of the boat. Quite a spectacular night - We were the only boat on that side. Saw a bald eagle pick up a small fish maybe 30M away. Then out in front of Worlcombe we spotted a humpback that did a FULL VERTICAL BREACH - my wife and I were speechless. Only seen that before on the National Geographic channel. And to top it all off on the way back into the harbour had to change course to avoid two killer whales.

Best thing about the night - my wife said she is looking forward to going fishing again!!!!

PS - the Coho seem to be very picky about flasher. Once I dialed in what was working we switched the other side to same gear and depth but were only getting 1 hit on the copy cat side for every 5 on the other one. The only difference in the set-up was the the glow green flashers were slightly different from each other. I've noticed this before with coho at South Bowen.

Do you have a pic of the flashers and their slight difference?

SE Bowen. The best of both worlds.
