Hello, all.
I'll post my 2 bits since I enjoy reading the info and help from all of you myself, perhaps I can help a little also!
Saturday a.m. , afternoon, and p.m. = no blood on the boat!
Daughters blamed me for having a Lucky before fish in the cooler :lol: (the really funny thing is it's taken over 40 years for this Alberni boy to drink the beer of home
)
Such a slow morning was a bit embarassing after the crew of 11 that came with me on 3 boats all did really well!
Found out that they were catching them around 90 to 100'
Sun a.m. and afternoon = no blood again!!!
Saw RT at the dock but he wouldn't give me his lucky shirt!
Sunday p.m. = all 3 ladies refused to come so just me and the boy went out.
Got him to crack the beer for me, superstition or what?
He handled the moocher very well even though I had to pass it around the other rods and then return it to him (if I hadn't given it back to him it would have been MY blood on the boat).
Anyhow, we each got one BIG chum, hardly fit in the old Scotty net.
Really nice to hear other boats clapping his efforts!
Monday a.m. got one girl out with me and we hit 2 quickly at Plumper, I love catching fish while others scream by to the 'hot spot'
Again one in the mid teens and one typical one of about 8lbs.
Secret this a.m. seemed to be bringing the kicker to almost dead stop then back to slow, both hits followed this immediately.
Today they were at 60'
A calm and sunny weekend (should have brought a hat for the bald spots!), the clubhouse really makes it nice for a family.
What's up with the RV site ****???
Should do a Seinfeld episode on that caretaker...
All practiced up and ready for next weekend.
See you there!
My girls wanted to see the Point Race bust the seiner in Deepwater inside the boundary, did any of you hear/see what happened?
We were in their way when the net went out and the [expletive] plowed straight through the fleet of sporties - my thought was how hard would it be to give a quick hail to let us all know what you are planning??? Boats were cranked to avoid the seiner.
Kelly: I was fishing with my family of 5, you can't miss us, and that black rubber dude crowded our line about 3 times. I kept playing nice and giving him room. The last time I'd had enough and held'er steady. When he got so close I could see that he hadn't shaved in a day or two I called out to him, nicely, that perhaps he could let us turn AWAY from the rocks, I knew I had him because neither him nor his buddy would look at me. If only I had a 30' tinny [}

Cuba Libre: that was me and my small 10 year old bundled up in the old school pfd, thanks for the encouragement - he was stoked.
I talked to lots on the water, at the dock, and in the RV site.
Some were doing well, many weren't.
We typically come home with over 15 fish for the 2 1/2 days, this year it was only 4.
So, I'd say that it is still scratchy out there but a good sign of the coming weeks.
They are BIG.
Smiley.
