HA! I saw your boat with that name on it today. I was heading to the soccer field with my daughter and I said as you drove by, "look at that lucky guy going fishing."

I went out to Constance Bank this morning for a couple of hours to trying out some 5" Tomic plugs (glow!)that I picked up. I was a bit skeptical about how they would work for winter springs, but they seemed to work just fine. Had 3 salmon to the boat in an hour and a half out there. I took a sharpie marker to one of the plugs to do a bit of dotted back. It got 2 of 3 salmon. The other one was straight glow. It was a relatively good fight with no flasher and just straight plug off the downrigger. Let go a few cod also. I took one 7-8lb home and a good size dungee from the crab trap(and a handful of undersized males).
All in all a good couple hours on the water. There were some harbour porposes foraging on the bank. Inside the stomach of the salmon was a 4" herring and a squid.

Good job with the plugs, it was much slower today on the inside
with only 3 small fish in 3-1/2 hours .
Crabbing was a bust.

Got an invite down island from Mr. Mike and went out thrus about 10 am to constance bank. Seven other boats and a few hungry seals. Managed our limit in the boat by 3pm. Lost one to the seal as did others plus had a few shakers. Great water and weather all day. Fished in about 110ft of water with about 155ft on the downrigger trying to stay on the bottom with 10lbs balls. Thanks Mike lets do it again soon.

Bit of a late post but fished constance last Sunday, the 13th. Took a few German exchange students out so they could experience some real West Coast fun! Only managed one to the boat but they had a great time regardless. Crabbing however was quite productive for us off the gravel pit, easy limit of nice Dungys.
Cooked it all up fresh for them; hope I crossed a few lines off some bucket lists!

out today 800-1230. worked the harbour mouth and all the way to clover point and back staying on the bottom dragging squirts and coyote spoons. 4 small shakers was the total. should of figured it was going to be slow as i did not see 1 seal!. wind was cold, but eventually warmed up once the fog lifted and the sun came out

We had the same results on Saturday off Clover, all released with the biggest only about 4lbs.
A distinct shortage of bait would appear to be a problem.
the fish we have cleaned this season all had empty stomachs.
