I think you were out beside us in the am around 17 mile. We’re the 26’ striper that was trolling

Things have picked up significantly. The bulk of the run hasn't shown but it's a definite go on the Sound.
Flemming, Sanford, the Wall and the Brady's Beach tac have all started to produce decent fish. The coho fishing has been outstanding.
Bait, hoochies and skinny gs between 25' and 40' on the riggers. As we get more into August then mostly bait does the job.
Totally unexpected

Rolled into the sound mid morning, played around at the start of the sound with a little bottom fishing in the sun and calm waters, managed to pick up a ling. Trolled Fleming to sandford in the afternoon. Slower but did get a sweet double header of mid teens that ripped like much bigger fish. The boy and I got both in with momma netting both. Anchored up for the night early and ended up jigging up a nice couple keepers and quite a few coho which were finning and jumping. Slow grind day turned out to be pretty good. daughter was having a good time being crazy

they tack between the bottleneck and the nose, productive plug fishery. a couple tyees came in. WHITES!
that contour you circled, most call it the egg.

The thing I noticed about these named areas is they only look like their name in certain chart zooms. Is there a standard scale that was traditionally used?

the older garmin mapping looked nothing like this.. all i can relate the contours to names is that the original "c map" i believe , most looked like the contours they are named. some if zoomed in, look totally different. odd.

They are my granddaughters. That’s our son in the picture. We’re lucky. They both like to fish.

Got back yesterday from 5 days in Bamfield. A real grind early in the week but definite improvement as the week wore on. Some good fish were starting to show up on Thursday at the usual spots but a quick early morning bite and then another slower but steady bite on the later tide change. It’ll just keep getting better over the next few weeks as you could see the first wave of mature Robertson Creek fish start to show up. Such awesome surface oriented scrappers! We got good fish on white hoochies, bait and skinny G’s with the white hoochies actually out producing bait which is a first for me. We saw and caught plenty of coho mainly nearer to the surf line including some really nice sized ones on both bait and hoochie. Had a few hit the gear as were were attaching to the release clips which was cool. Amazing and weird weather on Wednesday with lightning, thunder and Intense but brief downpours to add to the weirdness.Can’t wait to get back on the 21st with the better half for a full week!

Yes I heard it called the egg too. Does look more like a hot dog.
Funny thing when your out there does not seem to
Matter where you fish. It’s all good
