Dogfish are just fine.
I'm not so sure 2005 was a poor season. I'll admit things were pretty confusing for most of coastal BC. The runs all seemed to be late by approximately a month or so and VERY scattered. As one example, when the Sockeye's started showing in the Fraser, people were STILL catching em up northern Island/mid coast.
In the end, they all showed and made it back 'home'. Didn't they?
I know 2005 was one of our best catch ratios. Slow off of the start. Ended FANTASTICALLY - Once you were dialed in to what was happening. Many honey-holes that were thought of being 'early fishing only' (May/June), produced fish in August. While the summer hot spots were slooooow. AND changing almost on a daily basis. When September started to roll through, things were seemingly, starting to look normal.
We did burn up a lot of fuel in 2005........ Networking was more important than lure selection last year. I'm sure that the one's that didn't get involved, had their fair share of 'nice' days on the water. And that's OK. It's about the adventure, right?
- Nope. I'm not ready to change the leaders over to wire, just yet!
- And boy am I EVER glad that I didn't hold down a job within the DFO in 2005!
- REAL curious to see how 06 starts up.
Anywhore, just my thoughts.
Some like it rough...
Others just puke!.
