Popped out to Becher today in the ol' yak with a pal. Jigged through quite a bit of bait but only hooked into two fish all day. Landed one around 3-4 lbs and lost a better one. My pal hooked into a decent one, but it shook itself loose, too. Crabbing was a little better, but tons of just unders. The sun was glorious.

Was out yesterday for the first time in a couple months. Tried Whirl Bay and Pedder. Lots of small springs, from shakers to 55 cm. Nothing worth keeping. Lost a couple that felt a bit bigger. Completely different from last winter when average size was way bigger. We also struck out on crab with lots of undersize and a few red rock. Quite a lot of boats out competing for the same tack out front of Pedder.

Snuck out to Becher in the kayak yesterday to take advantage of the sun while it's here. Jigged up and down the trench and only managed two hits all afternoon, one of which stuck. Turned into a decent fish, though. 7.5 lbs, bled.
