Its pretty funny to hear all the chat about how "HOT" Nanaimo fishing is right now. Its average at best with 75% of the boats out there getting skunked on a daily basis.

that boat launch is pretty busy alright, there are a few fish around, didn't fish for long yesterday and between tides in strong current hit two out at entrance nothing big 10lbs or so each. bonked one, and lost one that jumped 15-20 feet behind the boat and spat the hook in mid air it was pretty cool to see, a buddy of mine got a couple out at entrance yesterday in his boat on the afternoon low same sizes, so fishys around for sure, but not like last year. not too many hogs hittin the dock,

Not to say you are incorrect as day to day things change and some just happen to find a pocket of fish where others might not. Perhaps rt off gfingers isn't as good but here is a report I recieved for May 14th offshore of flat tops ( 7 keepers in the boat to 25 lbs, sounds pretty darn good for 7.5 hrs fishing)
Fished the 800 foot mark straight out from Sylva Bay from 10:30 until 2:00. Then 3:00 until 7:00. Caught a 8, 9, 10 and 22 in the morning. Caught a 10, 14, and 25 in the evening. All at 140 on Green/Glow Coyote
.....and yet another report on May 13th of a fellow fishing in closer fishing bottom landed 4 cinook and a hali ( 12, 13, 18, 18#, plus 27# hali) in a 4.5 hr fish !
Yesterday sounded good too.
Don't you just hate it when work keeps interfering with fishing!!!I was hoping to get the boat in the water and moored this weekend but it didn't even get close.
I'm going to moor the boat at Schooner for a while this summer and hope to meet some new faces from the forum and swap some tails...
Might even take you out for a while Rob, maybe. So no fishing till next weekend then

Hey gronk i fish out of schooner. Shoot me an E if you want some info on the area/reports.
Rob already reported our results for yesterday, so I'll just add a few comments. First, that pot licking seal flat wore me out! Still, Ii's not too often that we get to win a battle with a seal, so I'll take it and enjoy the eating!
It seemed that there were not too many local lads out, it was mostly boats over from Vancouver. Regardless, it was nice to see some boats on the water. It was fairly sloppy early in the day but by afternoon it was a nice flat pond with almost no swell - sweet. The fishing was definitely hit and miss and it was obvious that the springs had not read the bite guide The theme of the day seemed to be persistence eventually paying off, and enjoying the time on the water while you wait for action.
As for parking at Brechin, there would be few problems (most days) if the city insisted that the rules regarding boat/trailer only parking be enforced.
To much water, too little time

Well...if some of you folks aren't doing so well over there...and complaining about it...here are some nice reports....and some of us "Vancouver guys" have been doing well over there consistently. Keep in mind the charter results are with "rookies" on the rods.

got another one out at entrance this afternoon around 15lb marbled, saw an orca out there cruising the tide line on the way out we'd fished can boy to neck point with nothing exciting on the sounder, fished out the deep water all the way from neck point to snake island with nothing, entrance seems to be holding the fish right now, had three out there in the last few days,

Wow you "vancouver guys" sure can outfish us! [:0] Ill stop complaining.
Fished Sunday way out, on a line between Grandee and Thrasher. Early birds reportedly were lighting it up, but we were slow. 2 undersize, and one acrobatic mid-teener at 160 on a spatterback cuttlefish. It was nice to see a decent number of boats out there.
