Fished the fingers three times this week, picked up two springs - a 13 & 16 on our first night, other than that, nada for the fingers for us with the exception of bottom fish. Headed north to Winchelsea and Ballenas, lots of other boats out most days and a lot more herring. Fishing was on and off, saw mostly Coho being caught. Released a bunch of smaller Coho, kept a few for the smoker. It was a Double Eagle convention out there earlier in the week, including ours 8/10 were Eagles. Great to see! My lady lost her biggest Spring yet at the boat, in the Tyee range. Turned and ran at the boat, with a shake of its head, out popped the hook! Feel the burn! Had quite a few Springs follow up our Zelda's, but rarely commit to hit - except for jacks.
Trolling seems to work at tide change and dusk, where jigging takes most fish during the off times. Green Zelda's and Lil' Nibs for jigging has out performed our other lures.
Talked with some awesome guys at Schooner, they were also doing well for coho, not many springs tho they commented.
Saw a chicken halibut carcass on bottom last night at Brechin, someone knows something we don't!
Finally found some keeper crab, mostly freshly moulted. Not much meat on them. So many undersized.
Made up a pot of Bouillabaisse with some Coho, Mussels, Clams, and Scallops. With some of the little lady's homemade bread, it was to die for.
Going to head out again tomorrow afternoon, if you see us, say hello. 1991 17' Double Eagle with blue canvas. "Pesca Lobo"

) His report is here too. Night one, just after high slack, 17lb spring about 130' just off the fingers. Night two, one coho, one pink, and one sockeye. Didn't know the sockeye were over this side? Maybe somebody else can comment? All those were around 90'. Night three, one pink and two keeper crabs. Lots of shakers all three days. Changed spoons several times trying to stay out of the little guys.
