Nice haul Gong show! You reaped the rewards of going out on a crappy day for sure. I need to learn some secret holes for when the conditions aren't ideal.

 

[Fish Camp]

Theres a reef at the north end of duncan bay boom chain 38'.Between the two reefs orange point dock north.Hali at 150' trolled duncan bay.june july i have found to be good time for this fishery,won't tell you what tide to fish but the opposite tide i fish copper bluffs if i can make the crossing in my small boat.When the mill was running guys were pulling fish of the dock with perkins . On there break they would always land one with there dropnet.

 

[capt. crunch]

Got out a couple times this week and only scared up a couple shakers. Must not be holding my tongue in my mouth properly.

Hey Fish Camp, do you fish outta a blue 16 ft tinny?

 

[Fish Camp]

I have in past trips and will again soon,14' 17"transoms in both some blue above waterline.lund for truck , gregor on trailer ,12' red sears aluminum for 4x4 ,canoe red.Old boat i did have 10 years ago was blue.White knuckled a few crossings from the east side of grouse island a few times at dusk.As soon as ken fords is open, I will be at north side of shelter pt at 90'

 

[Dbastock]

I'm sure I've fished alongside you in a white 16' hourston and 19' grady center console. Not many people fish that area and the ones who do don't fish it well. This past summer we had great success in tight to the old mill pilings rolling bait. Got a few springs over twenty in less than 50' of water lines at 20-30.

[Daurax]

Fished out by willow point for a couple of hours today had three on and two in the boat. Got one that weighed in at 26 so that was a nice surpise, sunny day lots of boats out fishing today

 

[scott craven]

Beauty ! very nice winter fish...

 

[Discus]

Very Nice 26 lbs winter!

 

[Daurax]

Thanks guys, We got that one on a cut plug herring with no flasher down 175'. Sure makes for a nice fight when you are not fighting the flasher and only the fish they seem to run way more!

 

[Oly1]

Great fish for sure Daurax. I bet he was a nice surprise for a February fish.

 

[Dave H]

I just saw in last Friday's local paper that a 31 was recently caught at the Hump.

A Tyee in Feb is pretty darn good.




Take care.

 

[Chaisin Tail]

What's the bait of choice for winter springs? Herring or Chovies? It's my first winter living here and first time fishing these winter springs.

 

[Fish Assassin]

Great looking day, waters flat maybe 20 boats out here.

Here's hoping

 

[eaglemaniac]
