Finally something to report other than pollock. Went to Ballenas with Bushy, my cabin boy, and went 2 for 4. Hootchies and bait were the ticket. We did the usual passes and nothing so decided to head out to deeper water and finally got some action. Bushy just bought a new G.Loomis mooching rod and put some bait on and nailed the first one then I got the second on an army truck. Fish were at 120 ft in 500 ft of water. Weird Qualicum blew up so we had to tuck in on the back side of Ballenas where we lost a couple nice ones and waited til it calmed down a bit. Maybe try again today...........BRS
