Fished Camp Bing again tonight with one keeper 9 pound whitey on the army truck coyote. Released many undersized with non stop action at one point that kept the kids totally jacked and not the usual this is getting boring line! Looked like Gower Pt. was busy tonight.

Don't mean to beat a dead horse here but the girth measurement of the biggest sport fish caught salmon on record was 37.5" ... and it was a 97 lb Spring from the Kenai.

Musta been a kink in your measuring tape there coholips. Unreal fish nonetheless! good job

30 pounder off Camp Bing tonight! I netted while my buddy did an awesome job playing her out to the end. 3.5" Army Truck coyote spoon at 90 feet in 130 feet with bait showing everywhere. Lots of "just" under size released tonight and one nice wild coho that put up an awesome aerial battle. Big one was a whitey doe full of 5" herring. Girth measurement was 36"!!! Great night up here on the coast.

24/7 I usually troll from salmon rock towards gospel rock and back and often Ill get really close to the gibsons side of salmon rock. right in to 40ft of water. Watch out though a couple of resident seals have a lot of practice taking your fish from you.... lol. At gower I just follow the shoreline over the point, good luck. and welcome to the board

Yeah I think guys that fish salmon rock get in super tight to the rock... It really drops off on that steep face

 

[odd6hunter]

Has anyone been fishing the Cap yet or West Van area. Had a bit of action south end Bowen couple weeks ago. Any one having luck in that area.

 

[Snakey]

Fished West Van today. Not a single bite from 10 to 3. Fish were on the finder but none interested in hoochies spoons or anchovies. I'm just a noob but there were a few other boats out there and we didn't see anyone else getting anything.

Trolled around the eastern edge of the hump then to the QA for a few hours this evening with angelina summer. No hits for us. Ran chovies and spoons varied between 70 and 150 feet. Nothing on the sounder.

Early August might see a few. Mid-late August they will be thick from sandheads to bell buoy.

 

[Fishing24/7]

Thanks for the heads up Offender and Wishin, for fishing around Salmon Rock and Gower Pt.

They should be piled up at McNab Creek late Augest, to bad some people want to destroy such an awesome place.

Click it on and it says "browse files"....click on "from computer" ..not "from URL"

You go through a series of "open" sequencies.

keep opening until you come to your picture.

"open" the picture.

When you get it right it will show it ready to load on the upload icon small screen.

Upload it and wait fot it to process.

When it is uploaded it will show it in your post at first as an attachment.
