Just got back from shearwater.
Fished 4 days up there July 24-27. Was a slow start trying to find the fish and learn the area. We fished Cheney point - mostly pinks and coho there. the other boat in our group got a 35 lber though.
The next day we headed to cultus as we heard there were lunker's about. Got one 15lbs - no lunker's. Then headed to purple bluffs and hooked a nice slab - prob high 20s, but lost it at the side of the boat.
Next day back at Cheney and we hooked up and landed a 30lber. Also some 10-12lb coho. Went off from Cheney to some bank and tried for halibut. Not !much action but we did !manage a 15lber.
Last day, we headed to McInnes island. Finally hit our stride / found decent amounts of fish. Hooked 8 or so decent springs and landed 6 from 18-25 lbs.
Basically caught all springs on cut plugs fished on the downright with a dummy flasher off the ball.
Overall was a great trip , and the weather cooperated which always helps even if the fish don't. Good luck to those headed up soon
