What where you using? Fished polier Wednesday night 3-4hrs only had 1 hit that didn’t stick. Few different spoons and spatterback hoochies.

Spoons and hootchies,. Spoons were more productive though especially the herring aid

Wondering what is the prawning season around here? Are the commercial guys still at it? Now that the summer crowds are thinning is it time to prawn again or wait for “winter”?

Nice work, can’t see Booth Bay on my map, is it on the outside of Porlier (Georgia Strait) or inside? For prawning, same question, outside on the Strait or inside ?

It’s between Crofton and Saltspring right before the narrows, little bay of Saltspring shown on map.

Booth Bay is at the North end of Sansum Narrows, against Saltspring Island. There is a nice shelf following roughly the 100 to 120 ft contour line....the smallest anchovies also work.

Found a keeper spring in Booth this morning. Chovie in the mud. No other bites.
