Nanaimo and Area reports - Spring and Summer 2012

[Stress Medicine]

KV1,
You will have to go a ways, because of the Rock Fish Conservation areas in and around the harbor. Try just on the west side of the Hudson Rocks (fingers). Theres a hump or 2 that often gives up a ling or rockfish. If the waters flat, sneak over to Entrance and fish the reefs on the near end or far side. If the wind comes up from the South-east you can get back behind Gabriola fairly quick. If it comes up from the North-west you will be in trouble if you don't leave soon enough.
Good luck.

Thanks Stress Medicine. I have looked at the RCA's and they seem pretty straight forward with the GPS and landmarks. Thanks for the tips much appreciated. Good luck fishing.

Algae, Algae and more Algae....had to clip off the last 40-50 ft of line because of the snot in the water. Made it unfishable closer in. Got our one bite off the fingers down about 140' and lost it as it somehow got tangled in our other rod.
