Was planning a run out to Epsom but looks like I would fight it all the way home (not fun). Let me how today goes if your out at Bowen!

Why not boot down to salmon rock? I saw guys working that area last weekend.

Heading out now. I'm thinking RC to start? Any reports?

Fished the hump today. From 830 until 130. Four undersized and one pollock. Tunstall from 145 until 330. Nothing, but did find some bait. Tons of boats out at both locations. Hopefully we'll see some better reports then mine.

I never understood the tons of boats at the hump thing. It's the biggest fishing area imaginable.

Had 2 sets of prawn traps "disappear" on me today on the south side of bowen.

Set them a very fair distance from a few sets all using the same unique looking scotchman.. came back 5 hours later and not a single float or trap was to be found.

Almost $1k in hardware gone like that.

Did catch a beautiful pollock .. no salmon from the south end up to the waterfall.

Was your traps weighted?

Was your traps weighted?

20-30lbs of weights per set (line weight at the bottom + lead weight in each trap).

It's huge. I dislike it. To much randomness.

Awesome whale show at the bell saterday, filled the screen the bait was herded so tight almost completely red on the hummingbird. One keeper, 50 in 100, unmarked marble ish. Couple of unders. All on the typical 3" spoons. Great day on the water. I cant seem to attach photos from laptop, says file is too big?

File too big = fish is too big

Use your phone. Text it to yourself then copy/paste and post to this thread. Bit clunky but works for me.

With my android I just email it to myself and resize when I attach to 30% and save it again. Ya clunky but works.

Hey guys. Now that skiing season is winding down will be back to the water. Starting Thursday. Anyone has had any luck in the harbour these days? I know it’s low everywhere... or time to move to hump / Bowen? Cheers
