Ya no doubt!
I've seen your rig, you have been a real busy boy,
not sure I would want to run that many lines day in and day out.
thats a work out and a half for sure.

I'll be out there with some regularity. I love winter fishing, and the prawning usually makes it worthwhile on any trip, even if the fishing is slow.

Was out for 5 hours trolling yesterday afternoon, already lots of good bait around in English Bay around the freighters and out deep.However, no legal fish on my boat yesterday, a few shakers and that was it. Had one good strike that may have been something decent but likely just a hard hitting undersize. That was on a small 2 3/4" Gypsy Punk Skunk on a 6 foot leader behind a Red Hot Spot flasher. Another boat reported seeing several nice Chums lob off Atkinson.
A few people still fishing the Cap mouth but we hit the water at 11 so I passed on by.

All along that northwest side of Bowen and close to reef at Hut .... like he said , bounceing bottom always.... and have a couple grams of lead ready for hungry seals.

Not a whole lot going on locally as of yet. Some of the regulars are finding the ODD one. It'll be a while before the effort justifies the rewards.

Trolled for a few hours Saturday a.m. while the prawn traps were soaking. Fished between the QB Marker and the freighters and marked a fair bit of bait but only hit two shakers. Did get to try out two fall additions for the boat though - hands free modification for the Ace Prawn Puller and a heater - both are going to make it much more enjoyable being out on the water this winter.

Is the hands free worth it Teja?

Without question ... it was a snap to install and there is no pulling required with it on.

How was the prawning for you? prawns per trap?

Approx. 180 prawns total for the 4 traps over 3 hours. Not great but not terrible ... the traps did better than the salmon fisherman.

Not bad considering the bottom has been fished hard with draggers and more prawners than ever before in Vancouver waters....

Sounds like the prawning is good right now!
Keep it on topic guys, I just took a toilet snake to a bad part of the thread...
