Is it just me or is the size up this year? Last year I struggled to break 12; this year half are pushing 20.

120. Hit on the anchovy side. Probably should have got in sooner, but that's fishing.

I guess I've been unlucky then cause it seems like everything I catch are just undersized, 7 in the last week but I did get a nice little 12# tonight. There were plenty of fish on the sounder all night, I was out in 650ft of water and there was a row of fish 350 down that went on for over 2 km. never seen that out here before.

Interestingly I was thinking the same thing but after checking my logs for the past 4 seasons the numbers of fish I've ( or more often my guests) landed over 20 lb has been remarkably consistent. 21, 23, 16 and 17 to date this season. The one thing that does jump out at me is the number of fish over 20 caught early in the season is way up. I boated a 21 in April this year where previously mid May was the crossover point. No tyee yet this year but fingers crossed!!
heads up in Nanaimo area... ( off fishing topic)
my friend has had his 24ft grady in a locked, secure area, in central Nanaimo and last week boat was broken into and all of his fishing gear swiped, except 2 islander reels...( someone didn't know what they were looking at I guess) He had enuff tackle to keep a store open and most was still in original packages. dozens of silver horder and gold start packs.. so if anyone is offering cheap gear in the next little while, maybe ask where it came from..

Can you explain this please? I've scoured the DFO site and can't find any reference to a sox closure off Nanaimo.
Thanks.

Look up Fishery Notices, posted every Tuesday and Friday for Sockeye.
All inside of Van Isl is closed so far this year.

Ikee, maybe you could also post the DFO Fishery Notice web site?
I would, but do not know how to do it.
