Sidney Report

[Weinstein]

My luck finally changed, my first salmon out of Sidney, not one but two! A 16lb & 12lb off Fairfax Pt on Sunday at low slack. First on Anchovy and second on Army Truck Coyote.

Thanks to all who posted their Sidney reports/tips, nice to post one of my own for a change!

Awesome, I was thinking about giving it a go today, but haven't had any luck there for a while....Maybe I'll just see what's around!

I was out by Fairfax as well, seen a guy he was by himself land a fish, looked like he was in about 18-20 ft hardtop boat, just wondering if that was you?
I didn't hook any salmon, but couldn't keep the dogfish of my line [V]

I saw the same guy, his boat looked a bit like a Hourston, not sure what make. I was out in a 24' Wellcraft Airslot (Gwailo - see pic), open top centre console. I took my mum out for her birthday fishing trip, she had a great time. We got about 4 dogfish, already had one Spring on Anchovy so decided to switch to a spoon and a hootchie on the other rod, five minutes in and the spoon got one!

What boat were you on? There was a nice Trophy out there, with a blue hull.

Sounds like a great day. Have been out there a few times lately but no luck. How deep were you? I usually go around 90 to 105ft there, but just lots of dogs to date.

[Weinstein]

I was fishing around the 110ft mark, lots of fish on the sounder at the slack, then nothing about an hour later. Unfortuanltely the engine started knocking on the way back into the marina so I might have to postpone my trip this weekend.

Just when I start catching something the engine goes!

Thanks for the tip. Hope everything pans out with the motor so you can get back out - looks like this weekend will be a beauty weatherwise. Cheers.

Bonked a mid-teen at Fairfax this morning. I was expecting more boats. We were one of two all morning. Beautiful out there!
