Mackeral you say?that was some good fishin on Sun wasn't it Kelly almost like a mini swiftsure.
 
Hi there,

Any one know if there is any where I can drop for Hali close to Vancouver? I would launch at Mcdonald beach by the air port. Any help would be nice since I am new to the sport.

Cheers
:D

Depending on what your version of close is, Trincomali Channel and South Pender Island have produced several as bycatch for a commercial fellow I know.

LC south pender island you say? I fish there every year, as my grandparents have a cabin on that island. Didnt know there was any hali there! Do you know exactly whereabouts? I have been meaning to get into hali fishing for the longest time, and I am going up to winter harbour this year, but if i can get some hali off of south pender that would be pretty sweet too! Any help would be appreciated!

Oakbay
 
Heard from my neighbor that Sidney was on fire for halies on Sunday. He said a 200, 150 and a bunch of smaller ones were weighed-in in the Sidney Anglers Hali derby? Was anyone out there fishing yesterday?

Hey Da Fixer, how did you make out on Saturday? We went 0 for 4. Gotta get new partners LOL Just kiddin Island Idiot and HillBilly.Cheers Fc
 
What sort of depth are we talking about here, off Sidney or Darcy Island? 150, 200, 250? Anyone troll right along the bottom dragging a whole herring behind a flasher for halibut? I'd bite that!

As explained to me, (I have not caught one there), between the 40 and 60 meter bumps. You will need a GPS to find them, and a day with almost no tides, as they rip there. It's about another 12 miles to Haro Strait with a lot of well known and fished hali holes, may be worth an overnight trip, spend a night in Sidney, and work Haro/Oak Bay. But that's where he told me he did well on a few rockfish longline sets.

Awesome, thanks for the info LastChance! If you get any more information I would like to know!
 
Was out at Sidney Sunday afternoon.If there was a derby then that explains all the boats out there.Didn't see any brought in but saw some decent carcasses at the dock.
Gonna try again this weekend around D'arcy

Hooch
