Good tide this morning so put in a morning shift. Tried Sidney spit briefly but not much bait, birds, or action. Moved down to Hamley and had a bit of action. Landed one keeper and lost 2 other just before the 9:30 tide change. Found them in deeper water. Around 100' in 150- 200' of water. Green spoons and hootchies.

There are very few ling in the Sidney area and most of the areas that look good are RCA's so be sure to check the regs.

I heard it came from Sidney Spit and they were trolling ?? Jiggers again did pretty good this weekend. Nothing for us or anything worth talking about.. Was at Hamley all weekend and there were a few fish here and there but it was slow all over. Some money raised for Salmon and Enhancement and thats what matters. Nice work Port Sidney !!

Is it just me, or is there a big skunk smell around Sidney these days

Tried jigging at Powder Wharf this evening through the tide change. No luck. 3 other boats around and nobody going for the net. Beauty evening.

Spent a few hours jigging with some friends off the spit. It was a good day with a lot of laughs, rockfish and snagging the bottom.
Oh yeah, and this 15lb ling. In it's stomach was a sole!

Sheesh! All these trailers at Tulista and no reports?!
Anyway, put in a couple hours at Fairfax this afternoon with nothing to show for it - some Bait hanging around on the bottom but in 160+ft. Moved to coal for the last hour and just as I was packing up I hear a pop as the rod behind me popped off and took some line.
After a bit of a battle and a swift netting my friend landed her first keeper chinook, a stout 12lb. Not big, but the skunk has been washed off!

Was also at fair fax yesterday morning until about 9:30. We caught this one and no other bites. Fishing Sidney this spring has been pretty good for me this year so far, hopefully it will continue throughout the summer.

Special Father's day trip for me today. Took my 81 yr old dad out and got him one legal for the BBq and one exactly 85cm. The big one was a white spring, both on herring strip off Hambley. Glad it was 85cm would of been hard to tell him we have to let it go especially since it swallowed the hook into it's gills.
