You’re such a stud! What’s that, like 30 years in a row you’ve won it?!Out for the Saanich inlet derby. Only one bite so far but she was a gooder! 19.7lbs on an AP sandlance.View attachment 44065
Haha....thanks THX. It held up.Thats a beautiful clipped fish for this time of year, Mark! Dont wanna jinx it for you so I wont say what Im sure everyone else is thinking...
There are lots of small ones around too. Trust me!I never made it out, ended up having to work.
Sounds like there are a few larger fish showing up around Sidney area now. I have only fished out there a few times with limited success but, sounds like Sidney is the first area to see consistent larger fish every year.
Any thoughts on the origins of Marks fish ?
Washington/ Puget sound hatchery or local ?
That’s a beauty! Congrats! Where did you catch it?Out for the Saanich inlet derby. Only one bite so far but she was a gooder! 19.7lbs on an AP sandlance.View attachment 44065
Following Mark's boat is the smartest thing you can do in the inlet.That’s a beauty! Congrats! Where did you catch it?
Probly no where to be seen anyone even see him on the water.......My guess is at Mark Ls top secret honeyhole at 40'!

I caught in Satellite channel heading back towards Wain rock 75ft right on bottom. I was out at 110ft but was kinda getting squeezed in by a boat on my starboard side... figured I'd let him pass me as they were going a bit faster than me. So if not for that I probably would've missed it. Thx wasn't the honeyhole but I did net it right on the mark where I hooked last year's fish.My guess is at Mark Ls top secret honeyhole at 40'!
I looked around after the chaos and total elation and seen abset of binos on me and probably a half dozen boats in the vicinity. My buddy that works the docks and busted his butt to set up the event said he received a phone call that evening by one the entrants complaining that I must have cheated somehow...that there was no way I could've been first fish weighed in this and last year....funny and sad. To that I say " peanut butter and jelly bro?" Or...........Probly no where to be seen anyone even see him on the water.......
Haha! Give or take 28. I'm not but for that brief second when it came over the rail I felt like oneYou’re such a stud! What’s that, like 30 years in a row you’ve won it?!
