Ah... I post about fishing!!!
Now everyone will be looking for the Bannana Boat
Got one sat.
Heard that someone on this site got a 48lb hali while salmon fishing yesterday.
That would get the Islander screaming!
See y'all on the water tomorrow but if anyone fromt the office asks I am working on the road]
Don't forget to get a new license!

I was out Sat,Sun,and Mon.and had our limit in less than 3 hours each day.I've never seen the Butts this plentiful(Don't tell anybody).I was lucky enough to pick up the rod of the biggest 78lbs.of a double header,introduced a newbie east coaster to west coast Hali.and my oldest son got his first ever.All in all a great first weekend of the season.
How far are you running from Victoria to your hot spots, i am on the mainland but can run-over for the day, never fished the Victoria area but would like to pick up a couple of Hali- butts. Fishing on the mainland you have to work for your fish and burn a bunch of fuel doing it. Jealous maybe a tad.

Need some advice! I want to come down from North Isl next week and fish Hali's off Constance, where is a good Motel or place to stay close to a launch to get to the Hali grounds?Maybe overnight or for 2 nights if the fishings good!! What about a good place to launch from?

i'm curious, are most you successful hali fishermen around vic anchoring? i don't really have a "spot" in this area so i prefer to drift to cover ground until i find one, and am curious if most of you went through a similar process or just parked on spots and waited for them to come to you.
thanks

Hey Dudds!
Never fished the bank, have made limited trips over to Vic from here (LML)and fished the vicinity. Each time I got lucky off of Discovery light. Mid-high 200 water, drifting. IIRC, where the sand met the rocks was the fishy zone.
I typically set-up on soundings, then drifted off.
Can't help more than that. The data is lost.
FWIW.
