Nanaimo Fall/Winter 2014

[Sculpin]

I think the spring/summer thread has run its course so to speak.

Time to start a new thread .

 

[Killer B's]

Had a pretty good day prawning and crabing saturday. Almosted limited out. Seen a couple guys fishing but never noticed them caught anything.

 

[terrin]

Are you getting a lot of egg laden females?

 

[Killer B's]

Maybe 10%. Most of the prawns were medium in size. I would think in another month there will be alot more with eggs. Thew ones we got with eggs were just starting to show.

Get out there and let us know......we are wondering

 

[JUST ONE MORE]

Jlewis and I got out prawning a little while back and had great water and managed a couple hundred crimson beauties. We set a little deep on four of our traps and the current was taking them to Vancouver, but luckily we chased them down..The crabbing was ok but a whole lot of not quite big enough ones. But it is a long winter and we are looking forward to lots of time out there. We did get a 15lb ling, and let him go of course. I'm hoping to get a few winter springs this year; so fingers crossed.

 

[Pink Pounder]

Went out prawning today between 2 pulls with 8 traps I got 30 prawns. And I lot of crab counted about 25 between 2 pulls with 3 traps and was able to keep 8 really nice rock hard ones great weather but no prawns

 

[Peterman]

Was out monday.
Prawns ok off the fingers
One small winter spring about 100ft down in 180 ft of water just south/west of the fingers
Not much for crabs off Jack Pt area...

zero wind.. what a treat..

 

[islander55]

hoping to get out soon, i hear the crabbing in ladysmith area is pretty decent

 

[islander55]

im guessing there is lots of bait out near entrance island , i was flying santa around with my dad in his float plane and about 7 miles out there was around 100 pacific white sided dolphins jumping in a big pod, guessing there feeding on herring , maybe anchovys to,,?

 

[vanislehunter]

scouting for fish from a plane sounds fun! The dolphins would have been neat to see.

 

[KV1]

Anything out there? Anybody been out lately?

 

[HookNSlice]

don't think anyone will be out this week
yuck

 

[Killer B's]

Sounds like we are heading out tomorrow. Will be making the call in the morning.

 

[KokaneeJoe]

Heading back to Nanaimo here this weekend. Has the fishing been good? is it worth putting the boat in the water for a few weeks?

 

[HookNSlice]

a few around but nothing like Victoria

 

[mhbradley]

shhh... no fish in Victoria this time of year.

 

[sammyslabber]
