With good tides and winds I gave it a try on Friday - waterfront and OBF today. Fished the morning each day. Only 2 shakers on Friday. Did not see any others catching.
Out today from 10:30 to 3pm to take advantage of wind window. Fished Coal without a sniff - though did see a marking and some bait. Moved to James island and again not a sniff till just before picking up lines. Caught a 5lb in lower mid water column. Just a random fish swiming along minding...
Out today from 10 - 2pm. A bit more marking and bait since last time. After 3 hours I finally had a hit. Played it for a couple of minutes when it took a big run... Up came the seal with my fish... I battled them for another minute when the flasher broke in half - how did that happen??? It...
Thought I'd try "opening day" at the bluffs. Fished 10 - 1pm with approx 8 other boats. I saw 3 fish caught - I figured random springs. There was virtually nothing marking the entire time - bait or fish. I did have to release 2 shakers. It has been 3 years since I last landed a coho here...
At the Victoria buoy yesterday from 7 to 10. Double header at 8:30 was the only action for me. Smaller this time at 4.5 and 5lbs. Saw one other caught at 9:15. 90 and 70 on the rigger.

Fished the waterfront this morning landed a 4 and 19, lost a 10 beside the boat. The 19 was caught at 100 in 150 on a white hootchie. Great day on the water.
late report - Got out on Friday 15 Dec. A little rain, but no wind made for a great winter fishing. Landed an 8 and 4 hatch springs around Coal for a nice couple of hours on the water.
Fished the Bluffs on Friday. 4 other boats around. Nothing till around slack then 3 hits in 45 min starting 11:30. Landed a 6lb Coho, lost a nice fish because my hook came off the spoon and lost a good hit that didn't stick. Didn't see much on the sounder all day but the occassional fish...
