If they're as thick as it seems, jig for 'em! A buddy and I just got back from up island and jigged up a ton from our kayaks using typical chinook gear (mac deeps and the like). They were streaming down the strait, 50' below the surface.
Where were you fishing? I don't like the forecast either. I was thinking Pedder...Raging gales and family commitments kept us off the water for 2 weeks. Missed out yesterday but BWD implied wind would be “OKish” this morning so tsunami warning notwithstanding we tried to give it a go. Lines in round 7:15 am and had a 5lb clipped coho off the bat. Released another smaller unclipped coho 10 minutes later. However, waves were already building, wind was cold and swirled the fog and so after 30 minutes we called it. We were disappointed but don’t need to endure discomfort at our advanced age!! BWD is not optimistic about wind for next two days either, so will bide our time…..
Straight out from the harbour mouth and off Secretary, where it was pretty choppy. Pedder may work, and maybe Beecher Bay?? All depends on wind direction......
Yeah, blowing from the west so deep in Beecher or in front of Pedder looks ok. We'll have to see!
it accually laid down quite a bit Roland as slack time came at about 9 ish and it was very nice , it was abit choppy as it was from the night winds,,,,, oh and dont forget that " tsunami " that hit us!!!!!! its always best to see what the currents and tides are doing if your concerned bud ,I was on the east side of Secretary in the 350 mark and it was nice.We were disappointed but don’t need to endure discomfort at our advanced age!! BWD is not optimistic about wind for next two days either, so will bide our time…..
Yes that is what I figured was the law.
