Herring run

[Charter Tofino]

Does anyone have ideas when the runs gonna start on eastcoast van isle?

It should be any day now. I was just travelling over the bridges here in Vic and again saw nobody fishing for them in the Gorge. There seemed to be a pretty stiff tide running through though so maybe that's why.

Drove over the bridge on Admirals Rd at about 8:45 am this morning and saw 8 people fishing there.

Get your butt up to Ships Point, Bowser beachfront - the comercial guys should be about done based on what I saw today.

Hundreds of seiners in the tiniest area too. All just diggin' away.

Water is green for miles, birds everywhere...

Spring is sprung!

Gimee the gaff!!!

yep there was definitly a lot of small fish this year. It was my first time fishing herring but yah a week is a long time, the weather didnt help either. We had to spend too much time sitting on the packer waiting for better weather and not enough working.
