Hey 2muchdraft!
A really good host would have a beer in that guest's curled hand in the top right of your pic LOL.
Nice take for a weekend, great to hear the boys had fun.
I have a reel for the cabin; it'll cost you another visit though
How did the new secret colour work out?
Smiley.

You got it Smiley - thinking of an Oct date - will let you know. None of the new colors did anything this time.
Bacon - 2.4 to 2.8
Searun - if you are meaning the flesh was white, no whites in there and we stayed inside - Friday and Sat were so good we didn't bother spending the gas to go out to the banks. Would have like to though, my neighbour did and said it was great.

Came back from Barkley Sound Monday night. Fished Saturday, Sunday and Monday morning. Didn’t go to 25 Mile Bank this time. On Saturday, the fishing was just as good @ 7 mile off Amphitrite: 4 Springs (could have caught more if allowed)… biggest 26 lbs… and one 12 lb hatchery coho. We also caught and released a bunch of big wild coho… one of which was the biggest coho I have ever hooked… I think close to 20 lbs! That was the highlight of my day! Best lure was a 6” white/pink Tomic spoon, trolled without flasher at 50’ – 60’. All the fish had enormous herring in the guts! Some Humpback Whales were also out there scooping up the big herring!
Sunday was rough! Blowing 15-25 knots off Beale, Amphitrite and on 7 mile Bank. Funny enough, according to reports, it stayed relatively calm all day out on 25 Mile Bank! Those who braved the crazy seas, and punched through the first 10 miles of chop to reach La Perouse Bank, must have had a great day!! Anyone went out to La Perouse Bank on Sunday? Reports?
We were not that brave! Stayed in the sound and fished Effingham, Kirby and The Bamfield Wall. Had to work harder for our fish. Nothing @ Effingham… nothing @ Kirby… only a whole bunch of Mackerel that ate all our anchovies! Eventually, we netted 3 Springs late in the day during a high slack feeding frenzy at The Wall… biggest 22 pounds! Best lure was a 5” Golden Tomic spoon, trolled at 30’ without flasher.
Monday was beautiful and calm everywhere. Should have gone out to 25 Mile Bank but we figured we had limited time, and only one more Spring to reach our limit. We fished 7 Mile Bank off Cape Beale instead. It was slow! Tried a lot of different things but nothing seemed to be working. Eventually… around lunch time… we got a 16 lb Spring on a BIG 7” Silver/Black Tomic Plug, trolled @ 125’. Tried to target Coho after that but no results. So… I guess we had to be satisfied with our limit of Springs and headed for Port Alberni around 3 pm. Caught the last sailing for Horseshoe Bay. On the whole… great weekend!

Don't know if the Mia Anna will sail again.
Just about had it with that Volvo 4 cyl and thinking about podding it or selling it off in parts (trailer/downriggers/hull etc). Been mooching rides on other peoples boats down here this summer.

Inside , SLOW for this time of year , but better than last week , outta 50 - 75 boats'ish , daily , ( Poett ) , the average fish were 1- 3 fish from 6:00 am till noon or so , the odd boat with a mixed bag of coho thrown in as well , top rods 5-6 fish , consistently. And a handfull with 0 fish , Most fish on Anchovy's at 50 feet , 5 -7 ft leaders , we hit 2 fish quickly on Spoons on monday am before leaving
Offshore , well , recent reports were accurate , it was rediculous , Spaghetti n Meatballs woulda done the job , put down any of ur favorite gear , and i'm sure you would be inta da fish , Outter South (Rabbit)was key for us ,Friday night , all to ourselves , but Saturday , lotta boats , but , we all had a blast i'm sure .

Anyone know if there is salt ice still available in Bamfield? Heading up Monday for 5 days. Trying to keep the weight down for the haul up the inlet from Alberni.
