2021 Sidney Reports

[Stizzla]

It happened...It ACTUALLY happened!!!!

After owning this sexy boat for 232 days, spending $18,512.77 in upgrades and spending 15 fishing days at a total of 47 hours, 38 minutes and 14 seconds, I FINALLY hooked into and landed a Chinook salmon that if DFO weren’t **** for brains I could have bonked. Actually 3 of them in an hour. Nice fish too. I’ll say 9/12/13lbs big hits, feisty fish. Fairfax point 120-130 on the riggers in 140 Green Skinny g on all 3. Also a trio of Dungeness crabs for dinner. Another blank on the lings.

[Stizzla]

Thanks Bud, you must be building up a bit of retention karma should there ever be a day....

We tried jigging there last weekend without success. How deep were you?

Late report, but headed out for halibut on Tuesday. Didn’t want to get skunked at Zero rock again so ran around to Trial Island for the tide change. Anchored up and after 45 mins dogfish showed up. 15 mins after releasing 4-5 dogfish a nice chicken hammered the port side rod. Got it in the boat and then put another hour in of catch and release dogfish. Current picked by then so I packed up and headed back to Sidney.

Wind has been a pain this last week again even for Sidney but there has been some short windows. Tried the Spit again to see if anyone was home ? Yup !!

So I'm out today for a quick fish before family time at the beach and I thought I'd try for a catch and release nookie at Fairfax and this happened. Nowhere near the bottom on a hootchie and flasher. Solid turkey size. 30-40lbs

 

[Stizzla]

Unbelievable!!!

Awesome! I know of a few that have been caught there over the years.

I can’t fish worth a damn but man can I crab.

How many Chinook did you manage to harass?

 

[FisherTim]

How many Chinook did you manage to harass?

We only dropped lines at 8, managed to fumble one decent hit and the pink that I thought was seaweed until I had the clip at the surface and popped it off myself. Fight of a lifetime....

Nice to know that there are actually halibut around in Sidney!!!!!!! What a great surprise, I'll be anchoring up around Moresby with the other 25 guys this weekend, ha...
