Reply With QuoteMost of the rec guys prawning around town are reporting average at best. Looks like the fishery needs some time to recover. Didn't the commies get an extended season 2-3 years ago? We are paying the price now.
I hear the numbers are down and my last outing at Twin kinda showed that. A three hour soak for 40 prawns at the same spot I got 600 Easter weekend. Apparently alot of the commies are going to the west coast. I have seen quite a few on trailers going through town.

Campbell River Mirror, fishing corner, reports a 28 pound spring caught on April 28 off of discovery pier.
Lucky fishermen was Mel Adams.
Fish was fooled by a 2oz. sardine lure.
If that doesn't get the heart pumping nothing will.

Nice to see the occasional hallie coming in locally. Good catch and congrats to Ryan!!
Today we went boating, if we caught a fish....then we went FISHING!!!!
THUS LOWERING EXPECTATIONS, WHILE ENHANCING THE EXPERIENCE OF TIME SPENT ON THE WATER!!! FishNmemories
Went out trolling southwest of the red can last night. No bites. I was going south but my Downrigger kept wanting to go east. 5 min jigging caught me and my son a really nice lingcod near shore.
Cheers
Right on quite a few guys out lingcod fishing lately, nice to see. The tide rips on the south end of quadra really are a pain.Originally Posted by Fish out of Water
80lb Hali cought off Harwood Island yesterday. Not by me but from a reliable source.
From Tyee Marine Facebook page. Same guy caught a 120 lb earlier in the week and this 183 lb on Thursday.
Awesome to see fish this size on the inside. He sure found himself a honey hole.
Very nice. And I'm stuck at work!!!!! No wind and sunshine. At least I can have a pop or two before nights tomorrow. LOL
