They work good for Hali & Ling, picked up a 63lb hali today on mackerel
Gonna have to respectfully disagree with you on this one. We tried one a couple weeks ago in Nootka sound,found them to be muddy tasting and bland. It could be ok in a taco with all that spice I guess.Originally Posted by Derby
Perhaps I forgot to say that I had gutted and cleaned & ice the fish right away..just like tuna.... those little guys need the same TLC as the tuna need...
not sure if you had done that
Put the Garmin echo 550c on the boat and went to Nootka for 4 days without testing it ------it worked great --great colour nice clear screen , it showed lots of detail. it has all sorts of features ,one I liked was the night mode ,the screen is darkened with coloured details , makes it easy on the eyes when its dark. A lot of the features I never played with ,that would mean I would have to read the manual---will do that this winter, will give the transponder a tweek to see if it improves on the readings when running. was too busy fishing ,it was a hard 4 days days to get some fish, only got 1 salmon but got lots of ling and snapper and a 25 lb hali. Lots a few good hits due to operator error. Got to make them all count next time. All in all a good trip.
Staying Alive, did you fish the inside at all? Many fish being caught by others? Thanks for the report.

Back from a couple days at Cougar Creek. No one in my party had ever been there before. I can report that Nootka was hot, but the fishing was slow. A few small ones, but better fish were few and far between. We pretty much stuck it out in the inside. Boat didn't really have what one should to go outside. Tried a little for bottom fish, but nadda. Lots of laughs and a few fish made for a good trip. But less than I was expecting from Nootka.
Just back after 6 days at Nootka. Not great results. We fished hard and have little to show for it. Outside was very rough the 3 times we tried to get out to Bajo. This morning things seemed to turn on a bit and we bagged a couple of teenages and lost 1 at the boat. Got all of them at 42 feet on anchovy with a black/silver holder. The water inside was very warm. Lots of Macks still, but, less each day we fished. Weather was very hot and things looked dry around the Sound. Gotta wonder whats causing the delay in fish showing up, or if they're going to. We talked to lots of experienced people who caught zero. Commercial guys were in 2 nights and I don't think that helped anything although I hear that their take was not that good.

Finally ----fishing was just slow,no other way to put it.We fished the mornings out at the Bajo and it was tough out there, not many nets out. Then we would come and do the inside for the afternoon and evening, all the usual spots Camel,three bay,Hois, San Carlos, our best afternoon was at Tahsis we got a couple there.
It,s just slow you don't see the normal thing and get to watch other boats bringing fish in, it,s few and far between. Drink more Lucky that works for me.
