I managed to make it out for a few strategic strikes over the weekend; Friday, Saturday and Sunday from dawn until 10am. I focused on the Metchosen shoreline to keep out of the wind.
Friday didn't really count though. I took a buddy from Calgary out and I was a tad under the weather from the night before. I set him up, showed him a line and then went to sleep. He got to take home two 8lb spring so he was a happy guy.
Saturday I went back out on a buddies boat and released about an 8lb on anchovie in 67' and 62' on rigger. We kept a nice 12lb spring caught on a lemon lime with a twist sandlance down 77' in 85' water.

Today I went out solo. Lost a nice one, released an 8lb spring, took home a 9lb spring and then to my surprise trolled up a 13lb chicken halibut. I heard of others trolling up halibut on the sandlance spoon, but that was the first for me. All caught on a blue moonjelly/glow sandlance spoon with 4' leader.
It felt more like winter fishing with the weather and the small spring....but it was a good weekend in my books regardless.
