Hi brands51,

Did you see many jumpers? Thought maybe the rain push most cohos into the systems.

Thanks,

Good to see Scott. I have not fished OB in a month or two. Perhaps I should be closer to home then.

The Coho was a surprise, as Oak bay does not give up many.
lot's of small winter springs in the 3-4 lb range

Nice work Scott. We headed out Sunday a little afternoon and had a nice 40 lb Hali after bobbing up and down for couple hours. Came up with a rusty spare circle hook in his mouth. Bit of a fighter.

Went out hali fishin from 12-3 today. 37.5lb Hali in 270 feet of water in the mud on herring under a hootchie. A few dogs and a skate as well. Gorgeous day, SFBC wont let my pictures upload however.

Found a purple Avet and trevala rod on the side of the road this morning. Just north of the Mackenzie intersection, heading north.

Unfortunately, it looked like the rod/reel had been dragged behind the boat for a while and run over. The reel had been spooled and badly damaged, it wasn't even attached to the rod which was also a total loss.

I proped them up and left them on the side of the road.

If you know someone missing a rod from today.......

Spent some time fishing with Andrew from AP tackle works this last week and we got into some winters, here's the first one with some damn good size for this time of year. Sandlance spoons on bottom.

went for halis at the mud hole today rough sea early on then calm by 9am. 12 dogs and no hali love but there were 4 boats around us and they caught four - good on them!! great day on water with buddy a little cold though lol used herring and salmon bellies for no luck

Hali report- A friend was out at Constance Friday and picked up a 60 and a 70 in two hours. I headed out Saturday and had non-stop dogfish action, but no hali on the side of the shipping lanes. Out again yesterday at Constance. More swarms of dogfish until the flood began around noon. Switched from bait to white grubs and within about 15 minutes had 2 hali on. One small one and one around 55. Seal tried stealing the hali when we got back to Esquimalt. Had a short game of tug of war. LOL

fished sunday from 11-3, tried to launch at james bay but looked a bit choppy over there, so headed for cattle. Threw down some crab pots, and headed for the flats. Got lots of feeder springs in the 3-4 range, a nice 10 and 7 spring, a fat ling cod we threw back, and lost a pin popper to a seal!
4 crab and 3 fish in the boat on a clear and cold sunny day.

Who's sponsoring it? Info?

 

[brands51]

Honestly dont have much insight myself,,, all I know is tickets are hard to obtain and theirs a grandfathering system I believe, 50$ tickets..and its strictly off the victoria waterfront.

Looking on getting out to give Hali fishing a shot down in Victoria probably Constance bank before the season ends on the 31st, never fished that bank before but I see lots of talk about the current there, just looking for some insight as to how fast is to fast is to fast of a current to get the jigs down. And do you guys pay attention to the rise and drop of the tide or just watch the current chart for the bank?

 

[chris73]

Look at the current and for windows with max 1.5knots. Everything over is useless.
