No Anchovies in 2022 Again?

[Doug]

He paid $10 US (incl. tax) per package. So say $13 Canadian.

Anyone try the tiny 18 packs yet?

I had my wife grab me 4 packs and when I looked at them they sure look small...

I'll give them a go in a couple weeks.

They aren't the greatest, i do have some of the extra small bait heads and i found i got a better roll if i just left the one treble to dangle back behind the bait, instead of inserting in the side like usual. Like on herring strip. Used them in barkley sound last week and i caught fish on them. Skinny g worked just as good.

I found some, Alaska bait 5-1/4”, will see how they work out, they look fine in the frozen packs

I just picked up a few packs of chunky anchovies at Gone Fishing in Duncan.
Vacuum sealed as well

fire crackers can be the difference between catching and not , sometimes. make it spin right and giver.

I’ve never seen so many anchovies in the gulf islands. Had the kids fishing off the dock in Long Harbour trying for shiners last week and they were catching anchovies one after the other out of schools of thousands!

Was just at the Canadian Tire in Vancouver on Grandview and they just received these anchovies in larger sizes, think they were $18.99?

Funny to see all the different brands land in the local market

 

[Adrenafin]

And different prices

Fishing Barkley Sound a few weeks ago, I found that wee gees produced the same if not better then the extra small anchovies. Better to save the bait when all the shakers are around.

They fish very well caught my first tyee of the season on them yesterday!

So I tried the Alaskan Bait Co anchovies yesterday. They sucked. Was like rolling a hotdog weiner. They were big and fat and the bellies did not last long. any feedback on other new brands?
I think I’ll try the red label herring next.

Everything is bigger in Alaska, I know what you mean about the bellies blowing out. Just need to salt them up.

I noticed at Canadian Tire in Duncan has the classic Rhys Davis 8 packs for $16.99, there were at least 20 packs, and then at Trotac I found them today for the same price, but only 6 packs left.

I got the last 2 packs in tritacs freezer.

Outfitters has lots of 8 packs and a few 12 packs today. I think the 12s went fast.
The 10 pack is still elusive.

I rolled some red label herring last week in a normal teaser head. I could get a decent roll and they put fish in the boat. More then I can say for the tiny fire crackers.
