Wow, salmonkiller01 the prawns look awesome. We couldn't get out this weekend, but we did stop and look out at the hump on Friday and only saw one boat fishing. Kinda figured fishing wasn't that good due to lack of boats.

We pulled some prawns out of the deep freeze and are throwing together a chinese food dinner tomorrow... looking forward to it.

CR hasn't been the fishing capital of anything for at least 10 years. False advertising.

LOL So true. Wrong side of the island. Sure would be nice to row up a tree one day though.

 

[salmonkiller01]

Ya okay we may not be the salmon capital anymore but still a great fishing area

 

[Heavyc]

A great FISHING area, catching on the other hand its really miss or (less likely) hit. It is a great place to check out uprooted tree stumps right now though.

 

[wildwest]

Great place if you run up to see the WHIRLPOOLS!

 

[salmonkiller01]

Good day out there, lots of prawns but no salmon, a few tom cod. But what an awesome day!!!

 

[Charlie415]

I'm jealous for sure. Work is interferring with life. LOL

Campbell still has good fishing, is it the west coast?? No!! but still lots of really good fishing.

The CR area has its moments and can offer some awesome fishing for a variety of species... You can often avoid nasty conditions... But let's face it....its in a different league than the west coast.

Why don't you post up something positive for a change? When was you last fishing trip to CR and how did you do?

Everything I have read for that last few years's indicates that CR is coming back. There is GOOD fishing to be had there.
