2019 Vancouver-Howe Sound-Sechelt Reports Thread

[cohochinook]

Was out yesterday in Howe Sound. It was sure blowing. Tried 5 different locations and ground out 1 chinook that was 66 cm. 170 feet on a choive.

Had a great day out there, finally got some blood on the deck. Prawning has been lights out for me higher up between 250-300. Although a smaller size the crabbing in the harbor has been good too. Worked out a few kinks over the past month and picked this guy up at the hump. We were on fish all day. Had too many unders to count but all very scrappy. Dialed it in at 120 on the riggers using a black double glow flasher and a green and blue splatter back hoochie on one side and a lemon lime flasher and Irish cream spoon on the other side. Both fished equally well.

I don't think a tongue in cheek comment is really crap. Nothing said was offensive or rude. I think you just didn't like being the brunt of it. I guess you're the king of your own group though.

You too Jim. I did try and apologize by the way. No need to have enemies out there. Hope we can leave this behind us. We all benefit from quality reports, even if they come with the occasional dig

Yes it is. I was happy to join but got booted immediately for saying "there's no fish in the winter! Time to put your boats away!" But clearly joking.
