Is the restaurant at Silva open yet?Over at Thrasher for our annual Victoria Day weekend trip to Silva Bay. Very strange to be out here with only a handful of other boats on a nice day. Fishing offshore of the reef. Had about 10 on with 1/2 dozen to the boat. Most borderline legal, a couple smaller. A variety of spackleback hoochies and spoons have worked at various depths between 100 and 200 ft. Whales showed up south of the reef and the bite has slowed down.
Not sure. Haven’t checked into the marina yet.Is the restaurant at Silva open yet?
How's registration so far? We're coming with a group of 7.Not a report but just a heads up the Galiano derby is next weekend if anyone’s interested. New catch and release format this year but it is always a good time! Lots of laughs and cold beer with some good prizes. All proceeds to psf.

How big for hootchies? I am thinking about a single siwash. Would you shorten up your leader to account for the additional weight? I normally run mine 36" from the nose of the hootchie to the swivel but have been advised to run them shorter on bigger cuttlefish guysuse extra big hooks during this catch and release times....
it does save fish.
i,m ex commie troller 50 yrs and forget all the other crap studys..
believe me a big hook will hook on side of mouth and jaw and not gill..
it saves fish.
hold leader in left hand and gaff in other , put gaff around leader line and push left hand away from body and pull gaff towards body.
gaff will slide down line to go hook to hook and bingo fish is off without having to net or touch it...no blood.
get hand close to lure and wrap around line.. try it ...its the commie way. and works like a dream.
and big black or blue hooks fish well...and make lure swim better. buy a box of open eye blues...change them when they start rust up.
anyone using small hooks or triple hooks is crazy for a release fishery.
