Also the factory clip in G&B's picture has a little clip at the top pull it up for a harder grip on the line push it down for a lighter grip. The one in his picture is in the up position.Hi Gear' n' beer, I'd like to try both. What is that little black collar and where can I get it? Cheers!
Fishing was good on 19th. Released one small spring and kept one 72 cm spring over 3 hoursHow's fishing the flats
Good show, mate. Congratulations! I feel like I might be walking into something here but, what is your Joanne???Launched at about 5:45, headed out to Macaulay to start the fishing. Pretty quiet for myself for the morning. Saw a couple of nets out and folks heading off the water before 9. I was trying depths all over from 28’ to 90’ with nothing to show for it. At about 9:45 had a hit, small jack, reeled it up to the boat, noticed it had a big gash taken out of it, seal almost got him. He was released, so maybe the seal will get him again.
My go-to green chrome and herring-aid teaser heads were not working, so I tried my “Joanne”, she started working right away. A couple small hits that didn’t stick, then a bigger hit, in front of Macaulay, probably around 7-8lbs, released itself bout 20’ from the boat. Made another pass in front of the breakwater, and it’s a pin popper. Made a little bit of a run, then swam right at the boat, when she got to about 10‘ from the boat, then all the fun started.

I know I know, but really, it was, 79.5 cm
side note: I found a knife at the cleaning station, if you’ve lost one, send me a message and a description, and I’ll get it back to you.

I caught my gear on it last week. I hope it’s floating away..Thanks Jim.
today, after fishing 9 to 11, my son in law picked up a 10 lb spring off of the Victoria Golf Course. We were just about to quit for the day and then bingo, Not a nibble until this spring hit our small "no bananas" spoon.Jigged and trolled off Fulford reef. Couldn't keep the darn rock fish and weed off. Definitely not the amount of springs there as few weeks ago. Maybe they are headed for home across the strait, or maybe I was fishing the wrong side of OB today.
Must have been over 80 cm, so how did you determine it's weight before you returned it to the water ?I don’t usually do hero shots but it was this gentleman’s birthday and the largest salmon of his life. Thursday morning off Albert Head. 35+ lb.
Oh stop it. He ballparked it.Must have been over 80 cm, so how did you determine it's weight before you returned it to the water ?
I would have much preferred to see a photo of the fish beside the boat AND being released without being taken out of the water. Not much chance survival after the photo shoot.I don’t usually do hero shots but it was this gentleman’s birthday and the largest salmon of his life. Thursday morning off Albert Head. 35+ lb.
