Fished all weekend and did pretty good overall. Had some coho action off fisheries in the afternoons , fishing between 60 and 30 feet. Everything seemed to work when you hit the school , troll fast landed a couple 7lbs being the best. Howe Sound was good for springs , landed a 16 on the first day before coho fishing, today had 3 just under , lost one in the 20 range had another good hit and run and put one in the box 18 lbs . 90 to 50 feet was working with purple haze batrix strip and whitish hoochy working for me. Good fishing if you put some time in and cover some water. The other side sounded pretty hooked up.

I was out Sat eve. Fishing most areas in the harbour, bellbouy, freighters, QB.... Finally found some fish off West Van shore. Hit a salmon on green/white hoochie at 47'. Lost it near the boat, likley coho. Next hit another fish then gone on hoochie at 47'. Another hit on bait at 37', released undersize chinook. This was all around the evening high slack. Nothing in the box, but some action anyway.

After catching fish 6 trips in a row and having my wife say that we had no more room in the freezer, I have now been shut out 4 trips in a row during which time I have had a day where I was sealed twice, two days where I had series of good hits with nothing sticking and yesterday where I lost a very good fish and had an aging downrigger cable snap. The next fish will have been a very expensive one.
As they say, it is called fishing, not catching.

Ran over to the Gulf Islands for the weekend to visit family and do some Ling fishing. Ran back to town in the afternoon on Sunday. Stopped for a couple hours in the harbor to see if some Coho were about. Had three on, landed one. All action on Blood & Bones hoochie 25-30 ft deep.

Went out sat evening for the high tide . Fished west van, boated a decent hatch coho. Green white hootcie at 39' just east of pink apt. One other hook up further west but did not stick. That was it, only fished for couple of hours. Watched the fireworks from a distance.

Sure seems slow localy, I'm sure the wind hasn't helped. i'm thinking of giving it a shot in the morning.
