Been pretty windy the last little while. I know there were a couple of boats out yesterday---haven't talked to them. Still deciding whether to go or not this morning, forecast is for strong winds. Already coming up out there.

Pretty rough out there first thing, even though we were late getting out.
4 on...4 in the box...limit, 2 about 12-13lbs and 2 about 9-10.
South end of Bowen on the Hump.
1 on a Nasty girl at 120
The other 3 on anchovie in a Chartreuse head at 99.
Laid down nice in the afternoon...nice feed of crab too boot.
Tomorrow we release 50,000 springs into the Nicomekle at our open house if anyone wants to pop by with the kids for a dog and to let a few into the system.
Good day on the water.
Cheers,
Getbent
PS...near the middle to the end of May we will be looking for help to clip our coho (about 30,000)if anyone is interested...just give me a shout and we'll make er happen!

Picked up a new used 9.9 today , an ez steer and put my set up back together. It was late by the time I was finished , but did get out to the bell for a quick troll into the harbour. Marked some bait and saw some porpoise towards the end ,but had to meet people for diner. No salmon but it was a pretty poor effort. What was happening in the sound ?

Only had the morning to fish. That's when the wind was the worst. Started at 7 AM working about 1 mile off. In my 17.5 foot it was no fun. Pulled the pin around 8:30. Tried 3rd mark and waterfall for nothing. Finished at the hole with nothing. Heard bigger boats on the radio getting fish on the killing grounds. Glad to hear it let up a bit in the afternoon.

Got out about 10:30 for 3 hrs and couldn't get anywhere near the hump as it was nasty SW coming strait so stayed in at Seymour and Cowans. Fishing alone in a 17 DE, brutal, practically fishing on my knees and I was so beat I slept 4 hrs after getting back lol.
I managed 2 keepers ( 8-10 lbs) and a undersize off Cowans 1/4 - 1/2 mile. All three came in a half hour window. The undersize and a keeper was a double header(by myself in 3'confused seas on a 17'..THAT was 'fun'..lol)
Before I dropped the lines I salvaged a dinghy that was bobbing around out there.....looking for an owner but it looks like it probably came off a dock or mooring bouy somewhere.
