Prawn fishing: 2 traps some rope and a float and a puller. Cheapest one I found was the Scotty on sale at Gone fishin' in Courtenay. Enter a topic in the search box upper right hand of the screen. Endless amounts of info in the archives. I've learned so much on so many things from there. I was...

You've got too much gear in the package still. Need to get out and fish more. Lol :rolleyes:

Winter fishing was excellent last year in the Campbell river area. I fished deep with glow spoons(Iron needle) and caught lots in the mid teens. Caught a red rockfish/snapper and a bunch of prawns 2 days ago.

Campbell river. Easy access to north and west island. Great winter fishing. Close enough to Courtenay's big box stores.

Nope Not me.

Slow slow slow for the last 2 days. No bait lots of seaweed/grass = no bites. Didnt see any nets out either.

Seems like everyone I keep is a marble in Campbell river.

I need a bigger net! Some interesting moments at the boat. I was by myself.

Finally got my first Tyee today 31 lbs. Secret plug Lol 225 ft on the rigger 250 ft water Green can going against the tide. Pretty stoked I put alot of time in to get that baby, but I enjoy every second of it.

Had some good spring fishing on plugs at the green can today. 225-255 on the rigger.

The narrows can be dangerous, no denying that. If you run it on the right tide and wind it is not a problem though. Size of boat and power would make a difference too.

He said he was looking for pinks for the kids and you're telling him to drop the riggers to 250 and target springs?? The narrows isnt bad. Know your tides and winds.

How deep can you see your flashers? Speed?

Damn.... double post.

See previous post from Nog. Smaller sizes coming although I havent had that problem. Pretty much every hit Ive ever had on them stuck.

Anyways.... back to fishing. Pulled out a plug today. I rarely use them. Caught a 14 lb marble at the green can this morning 230 ft on the rigger in 300ish ft of water. White with red head. Couple smaller ones released as well. Jigged up a nice ling on the hump at low slack also. Mac deep.

I heard there was an 88 lb spring caught and released in Milbanke. Can anyone confirm this. If its true what a monster and good on them for releasing.

Long arming or not. Look at the tail. Thats a big fish.

Do you bring bananas on board? Haha

Go out with a guide or someone you know that has no problem catching. When and where and what you're fishing all make a difference. Once you got the basics nothing beats time on the water. Cant catch em if your hooks not in the water and I seem to learn something everyday.
