Meares Bluff on the 3rd was good fishing, 6 springs 1 coho for the morning 35-65ft Anchovie/Purplehaze Hootchie it seemed if you found the bait the fish were in it, about another dozen boats in the area. Some of the guys had much better fishing than myself I think. Most were just getting out of the wind, a few whales made for a good day.

thx Kelly
in all fairness to the poor guy , i can`t say for sure what happened , thinkin he may have not taken into consideration of the tide swing , might have swung him into the shallows and beached him for a thorough hull inspection ,  , dont think there was too much damage , was on a thick patch of grass , waited for the incoming , off she went , more damage to the ego thinkin , could have been worse , we all make mistakes...

Making our annual trip to Bamfield in mid August. Always appreciate the postings.
Had a quick question ( that may have been discussed and i missed it ).
I was wondering if there is any benefit to bring the crab and prawn traps at that time of the summer ( in addition to fishing ) ?
Thoughts?
Much appreciated.

| I saw a post on another forum that this guy saw huge schools of Mackeral offshore recently. I hadn't seen any mention of Mackeral problems on this site. Are you seeing schools of Mackeral out there?? |
