Went out last night for a night bite with J- Global in his beatiful brand new 28 foot Kingfisher. We fished off Blunden Island in about 65 feet of water with our gear down 30-50 feet. We came home with a decent coho, a 21 and 15 pound spring. Lost another decent spring beside the boat and had numerous shakers and bites. We were using a small green spoon that you can only get in Seattle and an anchovie brined in this blue stuff. Both were hot but the spoon might have been slightly hotter. Thanks J-Global, what a beautiful boat and you are clearly a pro. You made my trip Tofino!
Yeah both guys I got out with we're great guys that gave me some new tips and we had a great time catching fish. Tough to not have fun when's there constantly fish on. And yes, this forum is absolutely awesome! Without it, I would've been down on the docks begging guys to let me come out and pay for gas. I'm also really glad I spoke up on here, "the squeaky wheel gets the grease", as they say.That's pretty great that you've been able to get out a couple times even with your boat in the shop. Gotta like how friendly this forum is sometimes.

Don't end up like this guy. Watch your chartplotter for rocks. He was doing 20 knots upon impact. Split the hull down the middle almost to the transom on a nice 24 Seasport.
Yeah, poor guys. Boat is a writeoff, fishing trip over and some minor injuries.......
The big one always gets away...Thought I would give a try from shore.
One spring to shore and one lost in about one hour. the spring was about 7-9 lbs. evening flood. The big one got away....

We shoulda had a couple more, but I was slow to the rod a few times.
Fished yesterday and today as well, all inside. Lots of big fish coming in now. Today I was cleaning a 26 when a guide pulled in with its twin @ 26.
Highlight (size) was a 38 yesteday I got on a Money Hootchie. First Tyee on the new boat. I had constant action on the funky green spoon my son picked out, but smaller springs (15-20lbs) and a ton of Coho. Switched up to Money and pulled in the 38 yesterday and a 26 today on it. I was fishing on my own, and landing them was exciting. Apologies to anyone if I got in the way of your troll. Both had Huge herring in them (a guide at the dock called them horse herring?).
The most exciting fight was a spring probably around 20# that had the hook in its side. I thought it was going to be a monster the way it took extremely long powerful runs.
Went tonight for a night fish with Hit Em Hard out of Uke. Awesome evening, brought two home around 12 pounds from Red Can and Beg Island, shook off another 5 or 6 coho and smaller springs, probably had another 5 or 6 good strikes that never stuck. Saw a couple nice humpys surface near Red Can also. Pretty good for 4 hours out there. Thanks for taking me out Hit Em Hard! Awesome boat, you run it like a pro.
