Any reports lately? Has the harbour been producing? Anyone try the hump yet?

Was out a few days ago around the bell. Had an aggressive fish rip it right off the clip 5 min into fishing. Great fight. Went for a few runs. Heavy fish. Well you know what happens next….. my friggin line broke! 25 lb fluoro. I always check my gear before dropping it down. Hook, line etc…looks like it will be mono from now on. Managed 5 other undersized and one 62cm fish that we kept. Good action. Flat calm. Overall a good day. My buddy was out yesterday and kept 2 decent fish. They were fishing the 175’ contour on the ebb. Right on bottom. Good luck out there!

The ones that get away are always the big heavy fish thanks for the report, will be trying to get out tomorrow if everything goes good today. The wife went gear shopping with me today and seen the bill, now I need to take her out on a date and it better cost more than my gear or I ain’t going anywhere tomorrow lol

Awesome conditions out here at the bell. A couple of bites but no keepers so far. Water is calm as you can get.

Pretty spectacular morning on the water. Took a buddy.

Fished the 155’ - 175’ contours, 8:15 to 10:45, from the north arm to the bell buoy. Landed around 15 fish. Kept 4, all between 64 - 68 cms.



Best action at the edges of bait balls, right on bottom. Stomachs of fish either empty or jammed with herring.



Practically t-shirt weather in the sun. Feb 8. Don’t tell anyone.

Great work out there! I didn’t get nearly as much action. Wrong tackle maybe?

We were on 3.5 spoons both sides, herring patterns, glow finish charged up.

The secret to fishing is fish where the fish are..
Move spots, find the fish, flash fly got ours as soon as we found the fish
