Could have been those orcas causing the slow bite. How was your run over there?

If you left your traps off Spanish Banks on a Sunday I would bet a bunch there's some Asian Canadians from a boat named Gypsea Drifter feasting on your crabs tonight. They raided my traps Easter Sunday and saw them two weeks ago today doing the same thing to other traps with a bout full of guests "gathering" the west coast bounty. It's a regular thing they do.

Went to check my traps this morning to find they were gone
Later in the day a guy phoned said they were floating between Boyer and gambier prob 5 Kms from where I set them.. he was kind enough to pull and return them to me
Seems like a thief tried to pull the set and gave up after getting to the first trap (which he stole), dumping the rest back after floating off the ledge.
There's no way these traps floated off by them selves. 4 heavy traps with x2 5 lb weights on either end. 900ft of lead line in 260 feet of water
Rant over. Thanks to Grant for returning them

View attachment 32946 We are at Thrasher now. Slow so far. Maybe all the Orcas we saw here last night. Stayed overnight after catching this beauty when we arrived at 7pm last night.

Crossing was great both directions. Almost glass on the way home. Vancouver harbor was pretty nasty in the morning though during tide change.

Spent the weekend fishing the east side of bowen. Cowan pt up towards snug cove and back. Mostly to stay out if the weather and the crowds. Had 7 hits on Saturday, which turned into one keeper one just shy a couple dips with no hook ups and 2 one that felt good pulling line but lost. Pretty good action 80 and 60 with spoon and hootchy doing well. Sunday we did the same and ended up with 4 little keepers but all the action came on small herring. Good to be back out fishin

They spent a good chunk of the afternoon in Tunstall jigging up anything they could get.
We managed a pair of keepers in there around noon which was nice to see, mid-water on chovys. Taking my old man out for a fish today, water looks good so will likely shoot across. Will update from other side.

Thrasher was reallllly nasty crossing at 5 am, plowed through and started with our limit of really nice ling 15 - 18 lbs , released a few bigger , all in an area somewhat sheltered from the wind and swell, trolled around a bit after and had two south of the reef, low teens and fumbled another. Left right before the bite turned on apparently, **** on a plate on the way home.

Did you call it in?

Yup! Doubt anything gets done but maybe if they get enough phone calls about these f**** then they'll do something.
Heading across the strait now for a fish with the old man, beauty out!
