A friend of a family member came from the interior with his boat for the last couple days .He and family went out friday saturday and found chinook under and over and wild coho all released and had a great day , keeping one clipped coho for two days.The fishers met with my pa ,and the story was told to me by him . I told my pa that the slot size was removed on the large size aug 1.even on the goat raidio they said today the fishing ban has been lifted.ban of fishing ?Can't trust the pattison group to do the right thing for our ears.
 
Fished Kitty Coleman this morning. Lots of small fish but I bonked a 12 lb spring. Fished with plugs, hootchies and spoons. Green hootchie produced the most hits at 150 feet.
 
Best bet for Friday. Cape Lazo or south of Denman? I usually put in at Union Bay and fish off Cape Lazo and the outside of Tree Island. The hump off Kitty Coleman is a bit far to run. Where would you go?

Was out off lazo last friday, not much around. Only amount of bait i seen was in 60-100' off tree island.
 
yesterday .About 130 was buzzed by dfo plane kye bay .then the fishing tuned on with with 14 sightings of 7-10#salmon jumping within 100' of my row boat for 4hrs .depth 100'bank ,casting line ready I caught a 7"squid.I tied on a cut plug rig to my trolling rod and pulled a little into deeper water and it was game on . With a big run and head shakes it was gone .The leader came back to me and was schaffed badly.Seals and porpoises came up to the boat and stayed with me for sometime .Then the weeds started moving in for high tide at 630 pulled the pin with no fish.

I would try down deep at lazo. I have picked a few up there. I tried Paliser Rock last week and just got a bunch of small ones.
Tight Lines
 
Rough this am out there.

Got another 11 lbs and called it quits to pound back to PP.

Much nicer conditions this afternoon...regretfully did not get out other than to pull our barren traps.

If you want to fish the hump, head to Kitty. $10 to launch and you could be fishing in less than ten minutes. O
Anyone know whats up with Sentry Shoal weather station? Been down a long time.
Cheers

Asked Environment Canada and their response was it will be repaired next repair cycle (when ever that is). Official response attached.

Thank you for sending your message to Environment and Climate Change Canada. The Sentry Shoal buoy stopped transmitting on June 29 and it looks like water damage caused a power failure. It will be repaired during the next maintenance visit, but the date hasn't been determined yet.

Thanks for the reply re Kitty Hump. I was under the assumption that the launch at Kitty is a bit sketchy for glass boats.

It is, particularly for large glass boats. Pacific Playgrounds much better - have to watch tides though
 
Trolled around for a few hours late morning off Lazo today - while releasing quite a few shakers, couldn't find any keepers. Tried various depths, lures, but nothing over 12" ever bit. Nice to be on the water though.
Several other boats around, and while I saw lots of rod/reel action didn't see any nets out, so assumed others were having the same results.
