Alberni This Weekend

well that sounds pretty horrible for my likelyhood of having sucess on sat., and they darn well better not change it till next week because thats when I'm heading up for a 5 day trip! wouldn't that be kinda strange for the DFO to let the commercials in during the heavy sport fishery(pretty good chances of a conflict/wrecking the fishing for a week)? this just seems a little weird to me.
 
Hi
The second map below should help everyone with the quotas allowed in each area to keep MR DFO happy for the rest of the season http://www-comm.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/pages/sfg/areas/2004%20maps/area23map_e.htm<img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle>

Socks are still jumping all over the place. Some nice big springs were porposing and jumping too. My Buddy got a 28 LB Spring on Friday and I got a 13 LB & a 32 LB Spring yesterday(Sunday). Still pretty slow, not too many boats were bringing in, or playing fish. Need more rain, cooler temps and then it will heat up, up there.

Just returned from 4 days at China Creek. Friday and Saturday ran out to Pill & Bamfield as fishing was obviously quite slow in the inlet itself.

Did OK at Pill Friday AM (2 Springs, 2 Coho) and Bamfield Wall Sunday AM (4 springs, 1 Coho) but nothing really spectacular. Biggest was 31 lbs.

Fished the inlet around China Creek Sunday because Saturday was my brother in laws 50th and we didn't finish celebrating until 3:00AM, then got up at 4:30AM to be on the water. I am WAY too old for that kind of stuff! Anyway, lots of Socks jumping, especially around Franklin Narrows. The water in the inlet is almost scarily warm. Its pretty obvious based on the condition of the sockeye we hit (on chovies at around 40 to 60 ft!) that there is going to be pretty high prespawn mortality on that run this year. Too bad really.

I hit no Springs Sunday AM around China Creek. Fished the slide and the Narrows and saw nothing landed in the lots of boats that were out. The other boat in our group got one 21 lbs right in the middle of the inlet crossing from the fish farm to the narrows.

Heres the good news: The other boat statyed up until this afternoon and I just got off ther phone with them. They hit 4 springs this morning in the inlet and saw "quite a few" landed. Perhaps the downpour on Saturday moved them in. I hope so, I'm heading back this weekend!

Thanks for the good news as much as I like the sunshine I hope for the socks and for my trip to port for the derby we have a few more days of very much needed rain.

Cheers ME

HAPPY HOOKIN !!!
