Fished Aldridge from 5:45 to 7:30 Was non stop 6 to 8 lb springs 65 to 75 feet.Bust off a nice one trying to steer him away from some ----coming at a million miles an hour through the fog.I guess next time i'll get on top of the boat and hold the rod up high,maybe you can go underneath next time. DAN

Just guessing here danthewire, but are you sure those weren't non stop humpy's!?!

 

[Rum Buddies]

I've had the same problem with juvinile springs around the head lately, pretty annoying.

 

[danthewire]

No, Juandeone they were springs, just like poppa swiss said, but we were marking some bigger fish on the sounder so we persisted.At 7:30 though it was over.DAN

Fished foggy Otter yesterday, took home 4 coho and 2 pinks. Hooked into over 20 fish, several small springs but nothing of size. The stats taker at sunny shores said only 4 big springs came in up to 3pm. The hogs don't seem to be in any great numbers yet.

To the two guys fishing ILLEGALLY on Saturday by Secretary Island - yes, we did notice your tackle when it got hooked on our line. Pretty embarrasing to get caught isn't it. Should have snipped your line instead of releasing it back to you. Got your ID on the boat. Hope to see you out there again.

Fished the Head and donated 2 fish to the seals at first light. Moved down to the Trap for 1 coho, 1 31 and a 20.

Hey Walleyes. Where you from?

Same sleep deprivation problem!

 

[Tips Up]

Forgot to post...

I launched at Cheanuh last Thursday and the RCMP were checking all boats as you launched for safety gear, licenses ect...

We were in the water just before they got there so I am not sure of the particulars but I heard on the radio there was a bit of a hold up launching.

No biggy just have everything you should have.

Tips

Is there a condensed list of the "official" nessesary items your typical little fishing boat is required to have on board?

One of the guys from my work said the pinks are rolling in close to shore (sooke Area). He was jigging with small pink buzzies and his buddie was using a Mac Deep and both had very very good sucess.

Some good fun top water Coho action off the middle rod on a Spoon the other day. Good to see lots of Coho finning this early along in the season. Should be a good size come October.

Fished Sooke yesterday. Slow start. Didn't get out until 7:30. Didn't see any springs taken at all. Went out to the 550' mark and couldn't keep more than one line in the water. Wife and kid had a hoot. Came back to Cheanuh and there was a house on fire on the reserve.
