Made the trek across to thrasher for the last day, lots of action so far, nothing of notable size yet. Tight lines,

Heading out tomorrow all day.

How's the action so far, RC? I'm going to head to the marina soon, if i'm one of the lucky 50 to be on site, i'm heading out to chevron and towards the hump...

Seems to have dropped off. Boxed two so I'm heading in.

I'm by myself. Reeeeeally lazy. And the freezer is full.

Looks like RC was hot today. Regrettably we chose to fish HITW area. Flat water and 3 unders is all we had to show for our last day of retention. A few other boats in that area but didn’t see them into anything. Oh well that’s why they call it fishing and not catching

Lost one in the mid teens and another one that was pretty close. The rest were all in the 50-60cm range, super active day. First time fishing thrasher though it was cool to check it out. Looking forward to getting out there again when (if) we can keep some smileys again.

That’s awesome what was the best depth over there?

The best was with the downriggers @ 175, but we were catching them all over. As I said it was our first time over there so we started shallow and then worked deeper in different spots. Brought 12-15 to the boat so we were busy playing catch and release.

Right on. I’ll probably head back over there around then as well, lingcod opens up around then I believe?

Yep May 1 makes it worth it the run over bring something back

Absolutely

Nothing like a salmon closure to put the final dagger into our ling and rockfish stocks!!! The government is so out to lunch it’s not even funny

There aren't any Lings at Thrasher. Not worth the gas and the risky crossing.

I was going to say the same thing. It's great that on the Vancouver Howe Sound thread the gulf Island fishery is being posted as another option to go and kill everything.
