Didnt hit or hear of any salmon caught in the couple hours i was out today and last night.There was a 22lber caught at lasqueti two days ago. Hope it picks up soon

Proper name is a Pacific yelloweye rockfish. Only true snapper are found in tropical waters.

CA I have the same thing on my DR’s. I also have a trolling rod that has a cross hatch on the rear grip that locks into the bar. It seems to work with that rod but my other rod doesn’t have the cross hatch and I’m not too comfortable with that. Might have to cut the bar out or tie on a cord to the rod to prevent my rod from swimming. GLG

Just get better rod holders!!! (no smilies to put here
)The bars are in place so that the reel cannot bind on the holder and cause the line to snap.
Did not go out as I was on call all weekend, but did manage to get out friday night, lost two hali's, but what a night on the water, not a breath of air.

I went out of French Creek late Saturday afternoon. I am not from the area and it was the first time I had fished it. Did not even get a knock. Two other boats at the launch when I pulled out had the same amount of action. Spoke to a DFO creel surveyor at the launch and he said he had only spoken with one angler who had caught a salmon since April??? He said Nainamo off Five Finger Island was a better bet, where 1 in 10 boats he interviewed caught a salmon.

1 in 10 eh? I know some anglers down here that would beg to differ with that number. When the 'regulars' put in 20+ hours and don't catch something those numbers start to seem a little 'fishy'.

I went about 25 hours in the last few weeks without a spring until those 2 were caught. Last year I got one nearly everytime we went out.
