Anyone know when the tsartlip boat ramp will reopen? Thank you

Went out to Nanaimo again today. Spawning is on going now. Got 1/2 of a bucket of herrings. Baked a few for the family and brine a few for halibut.

Went to Nanaimo today with kids. Jigged for herring from shore to no avail. Wonder if we’ve missed the run or still early.

That’s great info. Thank you

Haven’t been out for over two months. Engine were having hiccups. It went away after about 30 min of running. Think might be fuel problem. Anyways, due to engine hiccups we decided to fish close to marina. So just jigged the trench area in Beecher bay. There were some markings near bottom...

It is in the brethour, domville, Forrest,Gooch islands rca zone. Not only that it’s at a popular diving spot. Don’t want to leave snagged lines around the ‘reef’.

It’s side scan

It’s hard to keep kids interested in fishing if they just sit around looking at lifeless rods. So instead of heading out of sooke to try fishing. We decided to head out of Sidney to do some prawning. After dropping prawn trap we decided to just drift around and just happened to go pass HMCS...

Initial discussion of mackerel catches and the treatment of these catches was “civilized”. For those that are interested or like mackerels, they were either kept or otherwise released. Then the opinion of taking as many of these fish as you can. (and then proceed to kill them off and don’t...

What makes you say that? According to DFO website mackerel is fairly abundant off Vancouver island and all the way to Prince Rupert.

Looked up distribution range for pacific jack mackerels. Their regular range is from Alaska all the way to California and inhabits both offshore and inshore water. They may be bad for salmon but aren’t they ‘local’? May be another returning fish specie just like anchovies is, finally showing...

Fished from noon to 6:30. Trolled in 520' to 100' diagonally from bay entrance towards secretary island. DR 20' to 90'. Nada. Not a sniff. Trolled from shore towards 530'. about 3/4 way to no fishing zone got into a few coho. I landed my. Son lost his as line was rubbing against DR cable...

Fished from 10:30 to 5:00. Tripped from trap to whirl bay. Nothing but shaker spring. Picked up went back to the head trolled to whirl bay. More shakers. We were trolling between 350-450’. With DR between 30-65’ Trolled our way back into the bay picked up two coho. It’s a big difference...

Out from 11 to 4. Started at the trap trolled with the incoming tide heading east zig zagging between 2nd and 3rd tideline DR 30’ to 72’. Bite wasn’t non-stop but when bites’ on (or could‘ve ran into a small batch of hos) it’s double header or one right after another. Went through 15+ wild...

I’ll buy an A

Fished from 3:00 to 6:15. Only 1 wild coho. Trolled between the head and trap. Tried 100’ to 300’. Kids saw a few bait balls and a good numbers of markings on sonar. They were happily telling there’s fish at 50’ and 80’ and 120’. After 2 hours of nothing the were saying dad you suck...

Fished from 11:30 to 4:00 trolled for two hours at possession and secretary island. Only a quick strike on cut herring didn’t stick and that was it. As current was starting to change we trolled towards the trap. Got nothing but small springs. They refused to invite their older sibling to...

That’s good sashimi fish. How was it caught?

With two 120 quart cooler and a under floor storage. I don’t see any problem storing 45 tuna. ;)
