We got out today. Windy app said howesound was calm. I didn't check environment canada. It would have told me about the Gail force. It got rough at point Atkinson, We thought it would calm down by sunset marine. It got worse. We turned back and went to the bell. It was dead slow. We saw a guy who was having great luck. He told me hoochie was on fire. So while I was switching to hoochie we got our first strike on the spoon. Lol. Then four more up to the boat. But all just too small. All off the spoon side. I watched the other guy land a keeper off hoochie. In total about 5 to the boat between 1:15pm and 2:00pm. Nice day all in all but the action could have been a bit more spread out.

Interesting. We were planning a trip to gibsons from Sewells.
Family isn’t too keen on bumpy rides.

There’s a reason Squamish is known for some of the world's best windsurfing and kite boarding conditions.

I just put the binoculars on Hood Pt. and it's a bit more whitish over there. Same on the Gambier shoreline. Between Halkett and Hood can be a very sloppy spot for sure.

Anyone been producing at tunstall or waterfall as of late? Going to head out tomorrow, debating bell and tankers or starting at waterfall to be set up for slack.
This is a hard choice. But Tunstall is much further away. Two different buddies of mine who aren't on this forum have been doing pretty well at the bell recently. This time last year Tunstall/waterfall were better for us. I was at the bell on Saturday and it seemed hopeful.

Sure there’s a gale warning for SOG south but anyone else heading out for a fish today? Winds looks much better closer to van and some areas in Howe sound. I’m gonna try head up the sound later this morning if weather permits. Likely start at tunstall. Will post any action.

Found a few today up Howe sound. Weather was better than we were expecting but some chop from SE on the way back to north arm.
Fished tunstall, waterfall and grace and picked up these three keepers along with a few others just under. Chartreuse Needlefish spackleback hootch was the winner today in 180-200. Heater was cranked and bbq hot dogs for lunch. Felt like summer out there … almost.
