Gronk I heard it was on fire at gerald sangster and ballenas.parents said the marina was a zoo with fisherman.any truth?I was going nuts hearing this and not being able to fish for another week.
There were two other boats last night at Winchelsea and one of them had the same luck as us. I didn't see anyone cleaning fish! It was getting lumpy out there.
I was at Gerald and Ballenas yesterday morning. One hit at Gerald and lost one to a broken hook at Ballenas. Saw one boated at Ballenas. I haven't heard a thing about Sangster this year from the people I know.
Had some friends fishing the Gabriola area on Monday and Tuesday and if you were there when the bite was on, tubbing out was no problem. One boat landed 8 in the high teens on Tuesday on a leisurely fish. Hoochies and Spoons were the ticket from 150 to the bottom.
Seems to be lots of dogfish at Ballenas right now and they are quite partial to spoons. Last couple of days I've had about 6 take the spoon at a fast troll. Fish are being caught out there but its pretty spotty. Seems like plugs are working well.
Not much luck for us tonight. Trolled around Ballenas at 120' and 160' with green and blue hootchie and a cop car spoon. Lots of feed at the west end. Heard that low slack was producing from one fellow at the dock who had success with zingers at the back eddies. Food for thought.
I ended getting out on sunday,fish out from the fingers and away from the seals managed a 20lb white anchovy 137ft was only out for about an hour due too weeds and frustration as i was fishing by myself.

guess that is what you get when you have a mainlander comment about things on the island he doesn't know enough about.
