Sidney Report

[NautiGirl]

Thank for the report Weinstein. We're going out tomorrow morning for the slack and we'll drop some hali bait in Haro Strait. Anyone hali action on that side lately anyone?

Out last night from 5-8:30pm at Fairfax, bait around but no fish to be found. Saw four or five boats fishing Coal Island on the way back in, anyone else been out?

Fished Wymond and Hambley yesterday morning, nasty tide rip first thing. Small whale came through, too busy watching it we almost missed a double header! Two small springs, then a third about half an hour later which we released as it was undersized. We were all alone to begin with then 4 other boats joined us at midday for the slack. Any other reports?

Cheers

Heading out to Sidney for the next week. Any action or rumours of fish around Fairfax or Pender Bluffs?

I fished the bluffs yesterday morning, 6 till noon and picked up a big Spring although it was the only bite we had all morning. 7 or 8 other boats also fishing and didn't see
anyone reaching for the net. I have heard of a few Springs coming off of the bluffs but they seem to be few and far between. Apparently a few pinks around too. The
water temp has dropped significantly over the past few days and there now seems to be a lot of bait fish showing on the sounder so hopefully things pick up.

Gave Hamley Point a try yesterday for the first time, 7 - 12 AM. There was bait around, but no luck. Beautiful glassy water early on, but getting choppy by noon.

Tried Pender bluffs as well as south end of James/Sidney Island today. No luck, saw half a dozen boats at each location and saw no action from any of them..
