Fished the freighters yesterday morning and got my limit of two in short order. 62cm and 65cm hatchery. Both had an abundance of juvenile herring in their bellies. A buddy was out at the same time who landed one also. The amount of bait balls was really surprising.

To my surprise I didn’t get sealed on either fish because there were a lot of them around. But they must have been busy with other stuff. I’ve never seen this before but I think they were hunting as a pack. At one point about 20 of them swimming tightly together passed in front of me and then all dove together.

My buddy went out again today but saw no bait balls and had no bites.

Skinny G Homeland Security hit my two fish. Had the Skinny G Bonchovy on the other side but no hits there. My buddy hit his on an antique silver spoon.

Surprisingly shallow. All 3 fish were caught on the bottom b/w 55’-70’. Nothing west of the first mile marker. But there was a ton of bait and they were all in balls. Every 2-3 minutes there was a new ball on the screen. Most were fairly small but some were very large.

Waterfall one JUST under at 240 on a chartreuse double glow and AP sandlance.

 

[Rain City]

No keepers yet but lot's of action. 221 on the riggers dragging bottom. Double glow black and cop car skinny g killin it too.

 

[Rain City]

Prawning was sub-par. Lot's of smalls and females.

 

[Dixsea]

Nice seeing you out there today Rain City. We started in Tunstall for a couple of hours. Not much action. So moved to the waterfall area. Had a nice one on just off bottom about 160 but alas. Prawning was great if we were after shrimp. But alas
Beautiful day however on glass water with great company.

Dragged all around Tunstall 1045 and wrapped up off west Bowen at 345 after the boat developed some crazy list, haha @Raincity. Totally shut out all day until the very end when a whopping 8" chinook decided he wanted to come along for a ride.

Woulda shoulda headed deeper into the sound but it was an awesome day nonetheless.

Fished in Tunstall yesterday caught one keeper on the way into the bay then 4 other undersize in the bay and lost a possible keeper to a seal. Everything hit on homeland security lures near the bottom and all caught within 90minutes after the low slack then it went dead. Our first real success in Tunstall and a great day to be on the water - calm seas and no wind.

 

[DUGALD JAMIESON]

Where is waterfall???

 

[Rain City]

Where is waterfall???

Just North of Tunstall by the reef marker. Still along the West side of Bowen. It's a trickle now.

I fished the first mile marker for Monday's afternoon slack. So much bait!! Had 5 unders and 1- 66 cm. Got the keeper at 57' in 110' of water as the bait was moving up as it got darker . Glad I walked away from the reno and got that beautiful afternoon in before this rain!! Three different 3.5 glow spoons worked. My tom macs and diamond lances did not.... but probably would have! Lol

Fished Monday in the harbour was pretty good in pockets all on spoons... fish were scattered through out the water column not all at the bottom yet

Fished the Sound on Tuesday... fish here fish there spoons 150-250 gotta love the colour of these fish, sashimi stock
