I hope others have been doing better than me. It’s been very sad out there this week. I’m about ready to pack it in.
It has been pretty quiet for us too, I've been mooching off others until our boat is ready. Last Thursday night it was a pair of very nice 14 lb springs off byng evening tide. Back the next morning and humpies, coho but only undersize nooks.
Next day on Saturday it was epsom with zero tugs, then Anderson Bay which gave up a very nice ling but that's it. Headed back to Byng to RC and just on the last turn at dusk, bam finally a nice spring. Buddy gave no quarter and brought it to the boat, I put it in the net and we'll positioned on the grid to get the hook out of him before the bonk. Hook is out and all of a sudden he's sliding off the grid and blurb gone...buddys pos net had an 8" hole in it that we hadn't seen and I definitely netted the other 2 with it so I guess we got lucky. His grid is huge on the back of a 26 kingfisher...Anyway good times and lots to smile about.
I've had it go cold one before around the mid straits later July, and this year's no different it seems. Fish are coming though, don't give up!!
