Every other area has a thread so I thought I'd start one for my area.
Out yesterday, 0 salmon, 0 prawns, 0 crabs, 1 undersize ling.
It must be global warming doing me in!:)
 
I was out for a couple hours 2 weeks ago and i think i saw 1 fish on my sounder the whole time! pretty dead [xx(] did good on crabs though
 
Fished Ebb yesterday afternoon, picked up an 18, seen two others by the same boat. Not a lot showing on the sounder though.

Talked to a guy the other day at the launch ramp with a 14 or 16 foot yellow aluminium who had jigged up a decent fish from the middle of the narrows, but didn't divulge what he was using. Lure of some type.
Trolling may not be the only answer.?.

Also curious about the pot markers outside Genoa Bay - in about 180 feet of water. Any ideas? Seem too deep for crab, but I dropped a prawn trap in the area with no success.
 
I know guys who fish crabs right there in that depth. Claim they do good. Too deep for me.and unnecessary

180 feet off Genoa is where I used to crab, and do quite well prawning too when I lived in that neck of the woods. Not as many rock or undersized crabs out there, but go west from the breakwater a little halfway between the breakwater and the house on the water in around 50 or 60 feet, was good there too.

14 lb. spring just north of Separation point yesterday at 100' purple haze flasher and teaser head.Tons of bait on sounder .
 
Been too tied up to fish lately, but by my fishing log from last year, it's time to hit the water.
How did you make out?
 
Yeah tried 2 weeks back before moving my boat down to Otter Point.
Took out the grandsons for ling and 0nly found undersized ones in that area.

This thread has lagged the more popular areas so I'll update it.
Out today in the Narrows, Burial Island, Bold Bluff.
No fish, nada, zilch. One funny strike that I assume was a dogfish accidentally biting a cop car.
One new cannonball and assorted end tackle and an as yet undetermined length of cable sacrificed to the fish gods at Bold Bluff in the hope that they will be appeased and send some fish through in the last open week we have.
If that fails I'll remove myself to Pedder Bay and be amazed at how few fish there are around there.
 
Time, did you go and lose that new cannonball I JUST sold you? That is a nasty reef just to the west of where that dock juts out. I've hung up there once, but managed to get my gear back. There's another nasty reef on the south side of that little bay, by the dock with the white pilings, but it usually holds fish.
 
Released 4 undersized Jack Springs today, lost one teener at the boat.
Crabs made a good dinner.
Hot out there.

Sorry to tell you this, but you'll be a day late.
Midnight tomorrow (Friday) Cowichan Bay and the area immediately in front of it in the Narrows closes to all finfishing (salmon, lings, coho etc.)
Everything outside of the closed area is Chinnok non-retention, including Saanich Inlet (Brentwood, Mill Bay, Cherry Point).
Maps are here: http://www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fm-gp/rec/opportunities-possibilites/PN/A18-19-20-co-ch-2009.pdf

For Springs you will have to stick to the other side of the Saanich Peninsula.

The good news is there will be an opening for a pinks beach fishery along the south shore of Cow Bay, but haven't heard of any being seen yet.

Good Luck
