Had two bigguns on this morn off winchelsea in 450-500 ft of water at 140-160 on pink hoochies. Lost one halfway up and the other broke the leader when the spoon surfaced. Both fish within 20 minutes of the end of he major bite, around 700 am

So we're you using spoons or pink hoochies?

My mistake, the leader snapped when the flasher surfaced. Both were on hoochies, although caught one in the same area yesterday on a cop car

Thanks HEH! I'll be out potentially Saturday night & Sunday / Monday weather permitting. Definitely give me a shout. My friends have been fishing the fingers/entrance hard and doing just as well there on the same gear.

Nice to hear of a "Nanoose Tyee"
I see that there are big swings in the tides this weekend. Below 1' on the low and close to 16.5' on the high.
Full Moon too. Do you think that will make for crappy fishing (catching).

I think the fish move a little more with the big tides. The current is definitely stronger which makes hitting the slacks more important.
Also make sure you launch the boat at the right time. Nothing worse than being oblivious to the tide and showing up at the boat launch at a 1' tide
Good luck and let us know how you make out.

I`ve never really liked fishing the huge tide changes, but we were out off French Creek today and fished through the low slack. We might as well have been fishing for Marlin as the result would have been the same.
Not so much as a tap!
Several other boats out as well, and it looked like similiar results.

Was tough fishing yesterday out of Nanaimo very few boats out, was running the 3.5 pinksink , couldn't keep the shakers off, after about the 5th shaker and handcrank from 140 feet i switch up to the glow tiger an took a nice little 30 inch white spring, i have always had luck when seeing a pod of Orca's ..yesterday was pretty slow, getting to watch the mama Orca teach the little ones how to rip along the surface n catch fish was pretty neat. Seafever: Thanks for the flasher tip ..that was definitely the hotrod so to speak...

Got a call this am from the WG Range Master. There is a new Notice to Shipping (624) that prohibits all fishing and anchoring in a portion of the transit corridor just north of Winchelsea Island. He stated that my prawn traps could be confiscated as early as tomorrow. Its a small area but there has been a lot of people prawning and fishing in that area this year. The concern is for the cables running into the WG range. I marked the coordinates on a chart but have no idea how to upload the jpg.

Anybody been fishing French Creek lately?
been morbidly quiet from there last little while.....
That either means it's so hot people are being tight-lipped ..or....it's deader than a doornail......
Which description applies right now?
I'm going there tomorrow...should I take a priest with me?
