    sounds like we are a go for sunday. Launching at Iona/Mcdonald by 930 latest....may have some wee ones on board so that may limit us to fishing the hump and not running across. Will throw a call out on 88 Finished Biz...lookin forward to hearing back and working the water together!

    we will likely spit the rods between chovies and sum hoochies and run em hard!

    tight lines...

    ....and now?

    Fished the Hump from 7 - 1230 today. Had one solid hit that popped off our left rigger at about 9am but only stayed stuck briefly, chovie in a glow head at 90 feet. Saw 2 other landed fish the whole time we were out there. Crabbing was easy limits on big crab.

    Thrasher Rock

    Thrasher was good to me again this morning. Started about 6:30 am. A while before first hit. It got off. Then a little later fish on. Smallish legal to the boat. It was still early so I decided to let it grow. nothing for a while so I made some sandwhiches and was eating one. Same as yesterday, almost finished it then bang. Nice hit and fight. Landed a 17lber. Time was tight as I had to be back in Vancouver by noon. Reset the lines and 10 minutes later bang again, same rod. This one was a little thinner. Boxed it as I was into "overtime". Had my limit and was on my way back across.
    First hit was on white hootchie at 88'. Next three hits were on green white splatter back hootchie at 108'.
    Conditions were perfect.

    Fished Thraser as well today, a little more off shore and up towards the grande
    got there around 9:15 put the first anchovy down 30' was stacking on the second rod and noticed my reel peeling line reach up to tighten the drag
    and realized it was off the clip and on its way, 10-15 mins later we boated a 22.8 lber. then it was GoGreen's turn and he boated a 14
    we also missed one and boated and realeased another just under
