2025 OFFISHALL Vancouver- Howe Sound-Sechelt Fishing Reports Thread

[Aquaholic]

Can you bend them to adjust the action? or are they rigid?

they seem rigid. when they roll, it is quite similar to bait.

 

[Squire]

Yes, how silly of me to share a single point of anecdotal data. I am actually caught a bit off guard here, because it was my understanding that such a statement was considered the gold-standard in evidence by the average fisherman. (See: How Deep? Red? A Investigation Into why I got Skunked by SFBC et al. for more on this topic)

Next time before I comment, I will present a thesis with a methodology that includes a statistically significant sample size, a control group, a meta-analysis, and I will have it peer reviewed by a high-impact journal.

I will also hold a number of focus groups that ask salmon from different socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds what lures they personally prefer to get a more holistic view of current market trends.

Thank you for your valuable feedback on this matter.

You seem a tad sensitive? lol
I’ll let Rain City speak to the actual intent of his post but I didn’t interpret it as a personal attack on you. I interpreted it as a general comment meaning that any lure or bait in any boat could have out-fished the others tried on any given day in a fishery loaded with the targeted species.

Obviously, others may have interpreted it differently but things like inflection and sarcasm in speech are much more difficult to convey in written comments. We mostly interpret what we read in the tone we imagine as we read; a lesson I learned from receiving/sending a lot of cryptic or abbreviated emails or text messages through work over the years.

Reports should have location and method, gear on how fish were caught.

I'm going to say Sandheads....30-65 feet on the downrigger on a Gibbs Guide series flasher towing an Anchovy in some fangled Rhys Davis Teaser head...the only combo which would ever catch a 42

Lmao I was 100% joking and being sarcastic. I am unsure how that was not evident.

Luckily I don’t hold my fishing forum sh*tposts to the same standard as my professional communication

Now now boys, we don’t want another @Rain City vs @sweettjim type of battle on this forum.
The entertainment factor would be unbearable.

 

[ab1752]

How deep?

Ill show myself out...again.

 

[kingspring]

Be good to know which side of the boat and whether shore was off the right or left rod too.

Yes we know eachother well enough to not take one another too seriously. I figured some guys might not get his terrible sense of humor though.

I’ve always been told by myself that I’m hilarious so if they don’t get it, they’re wrong.

I also align with this perspective.

It is hard to find evidence of sarcasm in writing as per my post

My wife is always telling me that other people may not appreciate my dry sense of humour especially strangers so I get it lol

Brutal. Hence the banter.

I was checking the weather buoys and it was a solid 0.7-0.9m readings… 15-20kn NW at SH all day

Yeah it was throwing the ferry around this afternoon. Hope it calms for the derby at least a bit.

We’ll be out tomorrow,, sat and Sunday for our annual father son trip. I’m not on my phone much when fishing though send a msg if you’re looking for an update, or Green Machine on 69.
Looking forward to it, hopefully able to get some pinks (or coho) to round the limit and can up some sandwich meat!
