Less fishing equals more random chit chat and bitching. I wish I could report of the recent hali or ling I caught but they are closed so haven't been able to fish for them and in turn catch any. I think a lot of the charters that post reports from most days out are not going out much these days and maybe don't have much positive to report from their trip? The boat, motor, trailer threads are getting hit up more now too. I guess it's that time of year where guys fix, upgrade, mod, and clean their rigs so that explains that. I'm glad I'm not seeing much in the way of reports right now since I'm busy with work and would be bummed I knew what I was missing.

"Yes it is still a fishing forum" say's the GUY ON THE BUFFALOOOO OOH!!! ha ha (joke about a funny vid Lippy posted)
. Just fine the way it is r.s.. Like everyday life. It has it's bumps in the road. Cabin fever is setting in for most folks. Time to get out there crabbing and prawning. Winter springs tossed in as well. Hell Lingcod is still open till the 15th for some of the West coast..............

Some people might just be sick of getting nitpicked at as well... been a LOT of yippy little crapballs shooting their mouths off as of late and it's far easier to ignore when the fishings on!
You're right Sculpin, there is still some decent fishing to be had on some parts of the coast... LOL!

yip, yip, yip. Gota agree, some of the chit going on while mildly entertaining isn't about fishing for sure. Weather looks good, got some business to attend to Sat morning then up to the cabin for some R&R and prawning. Jeff, anything happening in the sound lately?? u planning on being out in the hood.

Scott, I think it's better than a fishing forum.. More of a community.
Fishin is slow right now.. Go look at the fresh section for excitement..

I get up early each day and sadly, it's not to go fishing but to grab myself a fresh coffee and sit at my computer for an hour or so before work.
I start every day by opening these pages and reading about what's up with fishing on the South Island, and around the province.
In a very real way I've gotten to know many of you on this forum from your posts, be they fishing reports or idle chit chat.
Fishing has always been important in my life and I am working hard to change my life circumstances so that I can get back on the water again.
Until then, I'm thankful I can still 'get out there' vicariously through you guys. Thank you.

OK, you guys asked for a fishing story. Our winter blackmouth season opened up Nov. 1. So I get up Sunday morning at Oh-Dark Thirty and drag Betsy to the dock, forgetting it's November and doesn't get light for another two hours. But I launch anyway because I'm pumped---today is the day I'm going to kick the bait-habit--I'm going to catch a blackmouth on a freaking spoon.
I motor north for about 6 miles through the dark, get to the happy hunting grounds at first light, drop my gear in and as the ball hits the sand 145 feet under my boat I notice the line has come unclipped from the pin. But wait a minute, the line is coming up to the surface and WTF, it's just light enough for me to see there's a nice blackmouth on the other end with my spoon in its mouth
I net it, give it a wood shampoo, then spend the next four hours doing water hauls, thinking, man, if only I had bait....
So I get back to the dock, not a lights-out day but at least I'm going to eat fresh blackmouth for dinner. The fish checker wants to check my fish for a wire tag in its head. He sees the adipose fin---...."Oh, I guess they forgot to clip the adipose at the hatchery", he says.
That's code talk for: you nature raper. You just killed a wild fish.
Sure enough, I check the regs when I get back to the computer---wild chinook release.
Not much of a fish story, but a good argument for keeping up on the fishing regs because around here they change every five minutes!
