[skunkaroo]

Slow at the hump. Nothing in the last 2hrs

 

[hippaisland]

Heading up coast in boat today near Halfmoon Bay for the weekend. Any tips/advice on fishing up that way would be greatly appreciated. I know Thrasher isn't too far from there but will have girls with us so something nearby is preferred! Have a good long weekend everyone, forecast looks great!

 

[GWT75]

Cowan has been decent last couple hrs. Some good hits. Boxed a 12 lber.

 

[dmurph]

I highly recommend stopping by the gas dock in Secret Cove and grabbing yourself some live herring.
If you don't know how to mooch he has everything anything you can give you some great advice.
It's a really fun way to fish and your guests should really understand it.

I'm heading over tonight, Mr. D.

 

[gokart]

Murph, Red and gokart:
I too am heading over to Silva Bay tonite after work. On vhf 88A, "Salmon Shark" or Easpoint works.
Will Keep you posted if I run into something good.
Cheers.

Hippa, Re half moon bay . Can be good salmon fishing on the NW side of Thormanby Isl. Called Epsom Point. Watch the depth there, lots of structure. Its not far from HM bay.

 

[Gramps]

They where out of live bait yesterday not sure if he got more, it's a bit of a run but Texada is usually good. Upwood point/Anderson bay/ pillings are all good if weather permits

Good fishing at thrasher yesterday! We fished in a little deeper water 1000'-1200' and ran two anchovies (green brine and shined) at 157' - 175' with green glow flashers. As soon as we hit the first keeper we marked the spot and just kept turning on it and got fish every tack. Prawning was terrible but didn't have high expectations so I'll take the 12 prawns as a bonus snack. Crabbing was good as well with limits with no soft shell. Best part was I didn't loose any traps this trip! Lots of fish around so enjoy the weekend and hopefully the wind stays down.

Going by recent prices, those 12 prawns would be about $375 worth.............................

Enjoy.

Dang, didn't know anyone still sold liveys, thanks for the headsup! That would be a blast. Haven't done it in years.

Lost 2 big fish today at Thrasher, one to a seal and the other because of algae I couldn't get line in. Algae is as bad as before.

I got a decent sized one a 1/4 mile SE of QA at 110' on the rigger with a green hoochie. About a hour before the low. Only one other boat (Bon Chovy) out there and saw them get into one around the same time.
