Good job. Any bait around ?Fished off of Pt Holmes tonight and caught two nice springs, a 12 and a 16 lb. Great evening on the water. Both in 60 feet one from the bottom and the other at 35 feet. Anchovy and cop car spoon worked.
Lots of boats out there.
There was some bait but scattered. Small groups of bait along the 60 ft line between the bouys.Good job. Any bait around ?
Many thanks--how did you do it?? I tried even turning it upside down before I brought it over and no matter what I did it always came over--upside down!!Fished Kitty this evening with lots of Dogs and shakers--while fishing was poor--crabbing looks set to improve!! LOL

We checked out the Investor Group Saltwater Showdown yesterday at the Comox Marina Weigh-in. Some good fish came in, we left before the final fish were weighed, but the largest spring at the time was 21 lb and change. Curious what the winner was? Some awesome prizes with a 9.9 hp yammie being drawn for a door prize. Fish were caught all over Grants reef, east Hornby Island, Kitty Coleman Hump, and Coho Pt. Barbecued hamburgers were part of the fund raiser, local marine search and rescue were doing the cooking, but got called out for a Mayday. New water park right beside the weigh-in station was a big hit for the kids too. The hidden weight was 10.7 lb and someone nailed that slot with a spring I believe. A large ling was holding the non-salmon slot, I think it was a 21 pounder. Some red snappers got weighed too. Good turn-out I believe and a big Thank-You to all the sponsors and Volunteers!!
LMAO...... Ok wise old owl how do I get a new boat ???????Fished Cape Lazo last night with my dear lady, Beautiful night, bait all over the place. She booted a nice one because she " couldn't feel the fish" on her counter equipped level wind reel with matching Talavera rod (bought specially for her) ! LOL Not my suggestion but she wants the 10'6" technium with the Islander and procedes to land 3 nice fish to 14 lbs. She allows that this is what she should have had all along!! Being an OLD and semi-smart husband I completely agree and suggest she could keep the level-wind for jigging and I will get another Islander for her!! She must have had a great time because "she thought that was a good idea" Sooooo young fella's Take a note out of an old guys book--old age and treachery can sometimes overcome wifely reasoning!! Shopping on-line this morning before she gets up!! LOL
Fish were at 35 ft in 50 to 60 ft of water-small bait =small spoons and hootchys
Fish a nice calm spot with great scenery. Let your wife reel in all the fish. Be positive. Take time to stop and look at deer and bears and whales. While crossing the windy bit on the way back to camp as the sun is setting, take a green wave over the bow.LMAO...... Ok wise old owl how do I get a new boat ???????

Yes-- while Its been a few days since I have been on the water, you can expect coho and feeder springs . Try trolling inside the Comox Bar and off Cape Lazo near the cardinal buoys .. 40 to 80 feet with a glow green coyote 3-4 ' spoon. As far as getting a feed of excellent eaters. I suggest bottom jigging for sole and flounders off Lazo in 40- 70 feet. Small BuzzBombs or other jigs work well as long as you keep them on the bottom. Might get a legal ling inside the buoy too. Good luck-- I hope you do well as those poor SOBs on the East Coast are getting royally screwed by DFO and the commercial that keep them off decent fishing opportunities.Need help.
Taking a friend from Newfoundland fishing tomorrow.
Are there any fish around?
