Herring Comox Valley

[Fish Assassin]

Thinking tomorrow might look good to try to find a few pails of herring. Been seeing the fleet moving around so one would think the rec. fishery should be good.

Guessing with all the wind no one has even given it a try this year.

wind looks a little better Monday

Both links take me to a DFO login screen..On 4 different computers.

Oh well, hoping to get out tomorrow and if we're lucky reload the freezer with some fresh bait.

Anyone else heading out?

What's the program for herring? Do you jig for them?

We just use herring jigs. Once you find the herring which is not that hard to do. Just look for the gulls and sea loins feeding and drop a line. The rig just loads up with herring.

It worked... I did have to log in though

Well we launched in Comox and headed down to Union Bay. Then back and around and over the Comox Bar and down Lambert Channel. We saw no birds nor marked any bait till we were off Norris Rocks. All of a sudden we were surrounded by sea lions, seals and sea gulls. It was insane the amount of wild life down there. Only problem was the massive balls of bait was on the bottom. For miles the bait was 30-50ft thick just off the bottom. Didn't even tie on a rig. We headed out to Flora and then back and around Chrome Island and up Baynes Sound and home with a quick stop for some oysters.

Owen-- give it a week or two and they will be in as shallow as 6ft! Just about the time I figure i can get out next!
Cheers

Was out yesterday. A bit rough. Gill netters were set up off of denman just past tree island. Lots of herring on sounder managed to boat a few.

 

[LouDogII]

We're off Komas Bluff and the spawn is on (12:30pm on Monday), come get 'em!

 

[Fish Assassin]

Anyone want to go check it out? I can be ready in about 5 mins. Just got to back up to the boat.
