There wont be anything further Aug rolls back to normal please dont spread rumors around as it freaks people out. Don't expect a grand announcement same as last year it will expire. I think you guys have been punished enough in south.
Got out into Oak Bay both Monday and Tuesday nights. Monday was as good as it gets - 8 & 18lb hatchery fish within 15 minutes of dropping the lines down all on the high slack around 6pm. Same time same place on Tuesday but just a single shaker - lots of crap in the water Tuesday -- constant cleaning the lines. Loads of bait/fish showing on the sounder. Looks very fishy.
Not spreading rumors that's the word on the street, I was stopped by DFO last Saturday and I asked them this question. This was the answer I got from them. So call it what you want. But its not a rumor its the truth!
Just not hooked very well, when they bite hard they stay on. Light biters are gone for sure, so many head shakes when this happens it's usually game overcby gotta play them hard, I'm finding they are like coho magic right now. If I don't play them hard and fast they are popping off. And man can they bullet for the boat fast.
Thanks for the tip @Arjento. I lost a high teen + because of this last Sunday. I thought I was playing him too hard so I let off a bit right when he torpedoed out of the water... and the hook was gone.... my only hit of the day too.
I always give em a double tap. Two hook sets from about 9 o clock to 12 o clock . Not too hard, just two solid sets. Doink Doink , come to papa.I find a good hook set out of the snap if you have to, followed by the ben johnson sprint reeling, and another hard hook set. If it's out of the snap already I just give it a big tug and start reeling. Now back to the reports where is the feed at these days? definitely not at 10mile lol
