Fished RC from noon till about 4. Coho were on fire no stop action, multiple double headers. Lots of un clipped fish but we came home with some nice hatchery at the end of the day.

25 to 45 on the riggers with a twisted sister and anchovy in a green teaser head were the ticket today. Out fished everything else.

We headed out yesterday around noon - fished cowan until about 3 and boxed 3 clipped coho, released 4 unclipped plus a few shakers, lost a few- white squirt 35-45
Then we peeled over to camp byng and went through a pack of anchovy quick- several pin pops that didnt stick/ stripped- lost a good one- doh released a 9 lb unclipped fatty- 1 undersize some grill, couple other unclipped- had a big stretch to ourselves- saw some boats mid straight- got me wondering what was goin on out there….

Lots of coho at RC yesterday evening, few double headers, all very aggressive pin popping fish, what a blast! Picked up a slot nook at gower off the bottem

 

[Chummer]

Similar story for us off of bowen yesterday, lots of action and great conditions. Tried a quick troll along west van on our way back in. Lost one in front of the pink apartments for our short effort

There a big RCA out there. But yes it's very productive at times. Id say right now anywhere is a safe bet for fish.

First Pink of the season spotted in English Bay while swimming this AM-a good sized too although definitely a Pink

So it's starting up in English bay, and I now can't haul the boat to vanier.
Hopefully I can get my car repaired by September?
