Victoria Spring, and Halibut Summer 2010

[beemer]

Hey slack tider , just follow Craven! The gap is basically the west side of Discovery/Chatham. The Gap , the oldtimers say, referrs to the space between Discovery and Chatham , but no fish in there and lots of hittable rocks!The best area for salmon is usually from this "gap" nw to Baynes Channel. Watch your gear lots of ups and downs.

The flats are a pretty general term , basically the sandy flat area off Oak Bay. Draw a line from Trial Island to the Southern tip of Discovery everything between that line , excluding Plumper Passage north to the Chain islets are the flats. The sand dunes further south of Oak Bay are sometimes referred to as the flats when Hali fishing.

Hope that helps.

Was out yesterday in the gap and caught a 9.4lb hatch at 90ft, lost a similar size at the boat. Lots of boats out there the most I have ever seen fishing in Oakbay. I was out from 6:30am - 2:00pm.

well, i assume thats a meter stick on it, so 2m pretty close...he said 244, 2m is a 276lb estimate, so i'd say dats the real deal!
