The only time we were marking fish yesterday was between snake and entrance, 400-600 feet, there was also a pod of killerwhales fishing near by, we were careful to not get to close , pretty cool to see them surfacing and racing after fish though.

After a short research on the matter i have found this flasher to be called the yellow mountain dew.. with white blade...apparently they work good in the green or brown water conditions due to the iridescence ...call it whatever you want... just get one!

Nope,Nick was stuck at home watching his daughter
A friend and I were out near Thrasher on Friday with a small group of other boats. We were trolling spoons, 1 Irish Cream and one speckled (name???) that was reccommended by HC. The speckled spoon caught 2 shakers mainly (I think) because the flasher was shiny & brand new (Pink Glo, also reccommended by HC). We saw another boat release a number of undersize but didn't see much other action; even the lings weren't co-operating. Many thanks to the chap that gave us the 'tip' on the depth! The wind came up later in the aft and with my tiny boat, we had to head for home.

Bart and I made it out this afternoon for a few hours. Heard what depth on the radio and hit one right off the bat with a small irish creme spoon. It was probably legal but let that one go. Released a few shakers and pcod. We had around 8 pop offs. Ended the day close in by Neck Point and Bart got to go home with a nice eater. Missed one more over there too. We saw RVP out kayak fishing by Neck and talked to him for a bit. That was cool . The boat ran flawlessly and she and I are very happy . Great day on the water.

Was out Saturday, bright and early, bit bumpy but fishable. Dropped prawn traps at Entrance, run over nearer to Snake and started fishing towards the Spoil Grounds, Hit fish right away, 137', Bad Attitude and Irish Cream spoons. Many shakers, but made it in with 3 keepers, biggest 9+ lbs. Just stayed in the area right around the ferry lanes. Let first one go because I wasn't exactly sure of the length limit and couldn't find my tape, only to regret it later when I found tape. Oh well... still great day.
Bummed about the prawns though. 8 traps down only 31 prawns (although they were nice ones). First time in many years I have had that poor of a showing at Entrance. More used to 200+. Crab gods were good to us though, getting 5 keepers. Back at home, while we cleaned & packaged fish, Queen did up the prawns, crab and a few clams from Friday for a real feast. Excellent experience for my friend from Calgary.
