Headed out with Albernifisher for a wet butt day on the west coast.

First order of business was to drop the crab traps and get more fuel, then we were going to head offshore for our first hali's of the season...

But the water at Cape Beale had different ideas for us.

So rather than tempt fate, we decided we'd get some more beer and go trolling for springs. We mananged three fish into the boat, with one 11 or so pounds that Gary caught. We also lost one.

Two of the fish came from Sarita, and the other from Rainy Bay.

The weather was HORRIBLE!!! Windy and POURING rain almost the whole day, so we didn't see a lot of other boats out there putting in any effort.

I'm glad we did though. I've almost even dried off now.

 

[SIR]

Without at least a few of THOSE type fishing days each year we wouldn't appreciate flat, sunny summer days nearly as much

How was the crabbing???

 

[Osama Bin Hopper]

gary got crabs...

 

[albernifisher]

Yeah,Jeff took home all the fish and I ended up with all his crabs

Thanks for the report Salty.

I'm heading back out there for this thursday friday.

Standard gear or anything special...

 

[marula]

great pictures and videos, don't you just love these new digital cameras with the movie feature.

 

[Osama Bin Hopper]

Just got back from 2 days in the sound.

Weather kicked the hell out of us. Lost a couple of fish and then managed to find something AWEFUL in Sarita bay that took all the gear from us.

Went to the Nook and ate crab and got hammered while licking our wounds.

Fished this morning rather reluctantly but were rewarded with a couple.

God it was wet out there.

 

[bellinghamangler]

Is the Nook selling gas this time of year?

 

[blueorca]

Glad to see someone is venturing out.
Nog's right...too much information![:0]
Videos confirm what my kids have been saying....yucky weather!
I ready to come home now........

 

[Osama Bin Hopper]

You and Matt should have a comedy show Paul.

Hows the prarie???

Bellinghamer, yep, the Nook has gas, Bamfield not so much.

 

[bellinghamangler]

Thanks Streamhopper. We're heading up there in two weeks for a prawn/crab trip. I'll post up how we do.

Hey Stream

Copper II lost a big crab trap in Sarita a few years ago when one of his other buddies tossed it over and the rope didn't uncoil properly. Maybe you hooked onto it. Did you mark it on your gps???? He's been trying to find it ever since.

It's kind of been a sore spot with him ever since.

 

[saltybeaver]

went out to swale rock agian this time there was 5 trollers and about 4 sportys.

started pretty slow after about an hour it was none stop action . 1-2 shakers, most fish were just oversized lost a hi teen (cut the line in the prop [V])

Thx for the pics salty,,, looks wet but nice out there....

 

[fisherman14]

i was just out there from thursday to saturday.
fished sarita bay and rainy bay. hooked 6 in sarita bay and 2 in rainy bay.
nothing big, most were small. might have had one good one. it was peeling off a bit of line but nothing major. oh well.
still no bait around out there. west coast herring are screwed.
WAY TO GO SAINERS!!!!
