Wind forecast might scare a few people away on Sunday!Family commitments right now.........gonna get out Mon/Tue maybe. (Sunday will be a zoo! LOL )
We have all been there. My rule is 2 of everything. I broke down on my first trip out. Stator flywheel magnets let lose. Got back on kicker. I fish Vancouver area mostly. Last time I was in Sooke I saved a guy drifting past secretary. Dead in water. He would have been on rocks for sure nobody help and i was last boat. I signal I am coming. Pulled ines got him towed him in. Watch out for one another out there! Damn gremlins. I want to make it out to fish Sooke again soon. Glad to hear pinks are getting caught. If that many then should not be 3 million. Probably 6 to 10. Sad they got attacked commercially when sockeye went down. Used to see upto 20 million.On another note fishing has slowed a bit for pink not red hot like last week but these HUGE tides and full moon do not help , still getting fish , Spring on other hand are insane can hardly wait till sunday!!!!!
One thing that is very concerning lately almost everyday I see guys either being towed in or coming in on kicker , please guys for safety sake replace the fuel filters in your boat and check you engines over and fix things do some preventive matenance if you havent put new plugs,filters,cps etc etc etc . do it before you head out yes maybe the boat ran GREAT last year but sitting all year gremlins may happening. with these weird winds were are getting and not alot of people out your kinda by yourself out there. last thing we want is a boat crashing up on shore...
Every time I have to release a sockeye I think I can hear my bbq crying!Out again today quick limit of pinks and a few coho , even got a beauty sockeye that had to go back gggrrr so we went off possesion sec for springs, in a hour at the gap at sec, and into iron mine bay 4 sprig played and let go beside boat on spoons biggest id say was pushing 25 rest were 12 to 16. I was reflecting on how only 4 years ago we could have kept these and My self and another boat were they only ones fishing for springs, How sad this Gov as ruined a VERY stable fishery. oh and no SKW here for coming up 3 months guess they didnt get the memo these fish were for them????
Is there an opening locally this year for Sox?Every time I have to release a sockeye I think I can hear my bbq crying!
Sockeye are closedIs there an opening locally this year for Sox?
With the Big Bar issue in the Fraser I would very much doubt that.Next year is the big run that we should get a shot at. Every 4 years.
