    Today

    Springs were decent this AM on Constance, with several long line releases, and we did manage to coax a 40 pound flattie out off of Albert Head..

    Went out today to enjoy the sun and drifted around for some bottom fish, no luck with the fish but got 4 nice dungies. Pretty nice weather out there too. My day ended with a good laugh too. Back at Esquimalt Anglers launch cleaning our crab and three guys in mid twenties were taking turns on a PWC. It was apparent right away that they were not from around here. They were oooing and ahhhhing at the crab we were cleaning, and freaking out over the seal that was hanging around. They also proceeded to take quick spins on the PWC in jeans, t shirts, sunnies, and cell phones. I guess they wanted the phone in case it stalled out there, which happened almost every time when they let the revs drop down at the dock. Before loading it onto the trailer, one guy decides to show off a bit and cranks the handle bars and throttles it......well, it didn't work out for him. He was tossed from it. Lots of people around cracking up while he tries to hold his phone out of the water and swim back to the dock with the upside down seadoo. Well he made it back but his phone didn't fair so well. Noticed on my way by that the plate on their car was ONTARIO. haha. It all makes sense now. THis old guy that was watching says to me "this aint no lake" I reply with a "definitely not!" and we both laugh.

    Out at Constance for salmon and had four on, all on glow hootchies and squirts just off the bottom. All four appeared to be typical US Hatchery Fish. Got one clipped Chinook in whole. Got the jaws and part of the head of 2 more in thanks to seals. Lost the 4th one because it was being horsed in thanks to seals. Some wicked current and tide rips out there today.

    DFO regulations: When transporting a recreationally-caught crab, the carapace (shell) must
    remain attached to the body of the crab until consumed or it arrives at a
    person’s ordinary residence. It is prohibited to have shelled or shucked crab
    in your possession, except at your ordinary residence.

    One of the more common violations.

    Hey everyone. I'm new here. Can anyone tell me where to catch crab out at the waterfront? I've heard about the gravel pit? Thanks.
