We arrived in WH June 11th, put in at coal, and shot out. Unloaded the boat and hit the water! It was a bit choppy and a 10 ft swell off shore, so we hit cliff pt for a couple hours, landed a 15lb and an 18lb.
Now we had some crab bait. Ran back down quatsino and set the trap, and called it a night.
Next am set out for cliff again, landed 6 springs by 10 am, and then ran to check the trap. Ended up with 4 over 6.5”. At this point the weather was in our favour, so headed back out and around to solander for lings! 1.5 hours and done. Biggest was at the 35 lb Mark. ( not complaining)
Next morning up and out by 6am off to grants for some silvers! 3 minutes in the port rod slammed down and popped the clip! 25lb in the tote, and the morning kept going that way, the fish were there, and hungry! We landed 5 and decided to go set the hook for some flatties. 2.5 hours on the hook, landed two halies 35 to 40, one ling 35ish, and a nice octopus. Then back to do some cleaning.
Wee bit of a blow and rain the next morning, so fished cliff and netted a few between 10 and 18lbs, then back to the trap for 3 more keepers.
The Coho were 3 to 4lbs, but very plentiful if in the right place at the right time.
We hit grants and lippy in tight ( 35- 45 feet) the last day and finished our quota! Would have loved to keep going. Lol
All in all, we had an amazing trip, my 9th time to WH, and has never let me down. Can’t wait to get back for tuna in September.
AP depth charge spoons, and skinny G were the bomb.
