| Not using spoons much, but hear the water melon has been working well. As for speed, from what I know, it really depends on current. Watch it in the water before you drop it down, and pick the action you think looks best. Between 1-3knots me thinks. |

Just got back from inside the Sound, limit of springs (25 the biggest and several teens) but tough fishin compared to other times, limits of prawns (many were big jumbo's) and finished the trip off with a limit of socks on the way back to Port. Springs were anywhere from 35 to 130 ft.

Fished July 27,28 and 29th. 6 spings from 10lb to largest of 25lbs. Seems the only area that was decent was Mears/Cree. Slower than last year but still fish out there. Appears Bamfield this year is doing better than most areas as always consistent fish to be had.
They now have some decent anchovies at Poett as when I got there they only had the bag/bulk ones. I almost cried as this was some of the sadest looking bait I have ever seen. Not even any tails on them.

DOF, I don't know what you were doing or who's boat you were watching but we were leting fish go one after another on Sat. from Kirby to Diploc. Don't watch for my net as I never even used it. I just used the gaff.
I used my sonar thingy and seen the fish at 160-180 feet so I went after them and limited out. NO BAIT USED all fish caught on rubber. There seemed to be bait for sale every place we stopped at.But I didn't buy a single pack.
I only made it to the outside Friday evening for a couple hours and grabed some chicken meat for the freezer.It was far to choppy for my little boat on Sat. Wish I had brought a third person to help out as I can't stand only have two people of board in rough waters.
When we got there we were told the white springs had just rolled in. But all of our fish were red fleshed.
I am heading back tomorrow morning(Tues) till thursday.
I would have to say fishing was GREAT. I can't wait to get back out there.

Sunday Afternoon 5 mile - lots of small springs (under 10 lb) and shakers and coho, didn't keep any.
Sunday night at Kirby - 21 lb Spring & 8lb Coho.
Monday morning at Kirby - saw a couple small ones brought in, I spent an hour out there (no action) and headed in for repairs.
Monday afternoon Beale to Bamfield, one trip. 2 small springs, a bunch of shakers, and 25+ Mackeral. Every spoon and every hootchie had makerel. Basically going from side to side releasing mackeral all the way back. LL released 2 good hits. Fricken Mackeral.
Today 2 hours at Whittlestone this morning 2LL releases. 1 spring about 10lbs. A couple of equal/smaller ones released. Then the Mackeral showed up again and I packed it in.
