Anyone have reports on conditions heading up the coast? Trying to get out of False Creek heading up to Thormanby. In a bit of a holding pattern right now. Doesn't look like it's getting any better overnight or tomorrow.

Why are you having troubles getting out of false Creek?

11 month olds naps and a anxious wife.

You need a bigger boat to handle these conditions

Wind wasn’t too bad but mixed with the swell and current the conditions were nasty

Manageable, not ideal. Dozen or so boats out there. Got my 2 springs by 10:30 and left before low tide. Anchovies 80 ft.

Turned back too . Back to the river to fish sturgeon

Went out at about 6am water was calm no luck until after the low tide at around 1pm. tried fishing the 200ft shelf at gower and got all tangled up and lost another cannon ball I hate braid on downriggers. they came like that so I will be switching to cable. well at 1pm lost all my teaser heads and down to one rod I trolled to salmon rock. Big take on cookies and cream spoon at 100' and I think this is close to a 25lbs spring?

Had a pretty solid morning of fishing. Started at Bell at 6.30am. Hit our first before 7am near the bell at 40' on a spoon. 16lb - put up a solid 12-15 min fight. 2nd hit a chovy at 65 about 8.30am as we went away from the pack (SW) - 15lb. 3rd hit about 45 mins later when we stayed away from everyone. Almost spooled us and had to turn boat and give chase. A beauty 25lber after a 20 min struggle - also 65' on a chovy. Pretty epic day for 3 hours fishing.

The bell and sandheads are some of the best fishing when there’re on. Love the shallow hits
