A quick two hour fish off Esquimalt today. Found some bait near the first freighter and stayed on it catching ten or so typical winter springs between 3-6 lbs. Lost a few more including a good one. Saw a 10lb taken same area and a few back at the wharf from elsewhere. Apparently a couple of mid teeners last week from the waterfront.
Crabbing was slow for me, but admittedly the bait was recycled.

Left the house after processing herring from the sale to get in a few laps out of esquimalt with the little one - stoked shes getting into fishing. Picked up a white marbled spring for dinner on the last lap - havent caught one of these in winter before (although my resume is not long) - and it was a big hit with the family. 120ft of water with the gear on bottom - blue AP herring spoon with a green flasher was the ticket. The sun made it feel like it was summer, the 4pm sunset did not - but what a beautiful way to spend the last of the afternoon.
