Seems like there's a lot of food to eat in the Sound took this video on Saturday early morning unreal
pretty awesome to see , saw bait balls being pushed up out of the water , feeding frenzy ...

That's great to see. We had some great bait around Bowen last June/July.

Where's your throw net!!!

Great to see, I remember as a kid in the 60s the anchovie schools that would go by and under our dock in port moody

Mmmmm....deep fried anchovies! Just needs a good Greek salad with a huge block of feta, and some ouzo or tsipouro and that's as good as it gets!

It sure was great to see , i tried to get video of the bait ball getting pushed 10" out of the water in the air
a pile of them was very cool felt like West coast .. lots of bait and fish looking good for the future .

Here's a depthsounder picture from the massive amount of bait fish at Hole in the Wall on Sunday. Pretty cool to see. Seals and birds were going nuts near the shore.

I saw them when the ball was near sunset and the whales were having a feed. Great to watch. Lots of jealous people I sent the photos to

get out your sabiki rods and jig up a bunch of live bait, nothing better then live mooching

Great vid - thanks for sharing @Reeltime

Makes me feel all relaxed, like a 50000 liter fish tank ;-)

Check it out on YouTube, very easy to make your own out of pvc tubing, thats what I did,
Works like a charm too
this is the same as the one I made

All you need is a sabiki rig - available at any tackle shop , a spinning rod and a wieight or spoon body to clip on the end of the sabiki rig and cast away. You will get multiple chovys at a time some casts. They tangle like crazy so keep that in mind.

Brilliant idea tucking the rig inside the pipe , i have so many extra river level winds kicking around ... gonna make one up .

I don't understand what the point of the pvc pipe is. Is it because you don't have a rod and want to make something cheap? Why not just use a casting rod set up? Don't need anything fancy...

It is meant to keep the hooks contained inside the PVC pipe when not in use. That way the rig is ready at a moments notice and untangled. It also keeps the hooks from impailing an unsuspecting angler.

I've got a whole bunch of small rods i could use ,the pvc pipe just looks like no messing around with snags from all the hooks and not worrying about how to store it when on the move.
plus i love messing around with different ways of doing things ...

this is exactly the reason, I can drop it in a moments notice and not have to untangle a bunch of little tiny hooks with my old eyes, by that time the school has moved on
and if you dont cap the butt its real easy to wash the rig down with fresh water washdown cause they dont last very long once in the salt,
I store it up under the gunnel in one of the rod holders-grab and go
