If you move your mouse on it, it will tell you the station. I think you were talking about Halibut Bank. If correct it is 9 NW. Interesting that Sand Heads has turned and is now SE 8.

I should be out by 2-3 pm. Not sure if I will launch at MacDonald or down town.(North Arm can be nasty. Most likely down town) I'm between big boats right now and fishing out a blue 16' Prince Craft with a side console and 40hp Yammy. I wired in my electric downriggers and put in a good bilge in case a bit of water splashes over. I used this boat late July in Nootka and had a blasted landed a ton of springs in 3.5 days. I also bought a good VHF handheld (ICOM M92D) and registered the MMSI number. Radio is water proof and floats. If something happens I can hit the emergency switch and it will send out my GPS coordinates. Hope I don't have to try that.
On another note when a buddy and I were out on Sunday my radio's MMSI went off with an unknown and bounced through my radio. Being I was in a small boat and lumpy conditions not much I could do. Also I didn't see any GPS numbers with it. Did anyone else see it?

Checked the weather at 7, it was good to go. Was out on the water and through Sandheads by 930. Very rolly-polly! Thank goodness for sea bands, or I would have lost my breakfast. Trolled the Banana Line over to T10 and back. The winds calmed down by noon and she was pretty much flat for the rest of the evening.
No fish. Didn't see many people taking fish either. Did run in to a school of sockeye though, one jumped and bounced off the boat!

What are you talking about? At 5am sandheads is reporting nw 22 knots... Just as forecasted, nw 20-30.
Looking at my crystal ball (forecast model), looks like the wind should be diminishing from around 9am onwards, afternoon should be fishable, keep checking on conditions.
Was out yesterday, fished north arm to sandheads, very slow. Released 3 pinks, an undersize and missed a couple pin poppers. Saw what looked to be a nice teener boxed by a nearby boat. Marking much fewer fish and very little bait compared to a week ago.

I was out yesterday with my son and father-in-law from 12-4:30. We started at the t-10 and worked to the q-a to Point Grey with only two pinks to the boat (one of which was my boy's first solo-played fish). Probably ten boats working the t-10 when we arrived and we saw no nets out. There were a few fish on the sounder at the t-10, but like someone already mentioned, way less than last week. Might try Saturday again, if the wind cooperates.
I figured I check these forums so often that I better start posting.
Launched in N. Van yesterday and tried to head back to T-10, where we slayed them last Sunday. It was too lumpy so we fished in the freighters.
I sure am glad we did because we picked up 4 nice springs and lost 2 more. One nice one played dead and as soon as I went to net it and said "surprise", peeled under the boat and into the prop...Gone.
We even had two double headers! Fished all depths and were using chovies and Irish Cream. Saw more fish being caught but I think we had some luck on our side.

Yes. A bit of a brown algae bloom happening out there right now in spots.
