Both my fishing buddy and I were commenting on the lines of your machine -- cool looking boat -- we were calling you Black Bart -- really like the "no logo" look -- nothing on the hull or engines.
Will be up there on and off over the next few weekends and then solid for the first couple weeks of August. Drop by the dock and say hello -- we are docked right beside the medical centre.

A bit later on Saturday -- we got going about 630 and met my dock neighbour at the harbour mouth already coming back in with his limit from Kirby. On Sunday we were there about 530. I'm in a Bayliner 288 -- command bridge with a blue awning over the cockpit. I noticed another boat very similar to mine around Bamfield as well.

Spent the last week at the Beam from the 5th to the 12th. Fished hard and could only find coho and small springs for the first couple of days. Found a really nice grade of coho on Wednesday, hitting on spoons, splatterback and clown hoochies. The usual haunts of Mears and ship and Kirby. Bait was also working for us in the morning. The wall gave up some nice fish for sure but inconsistent. Offshore was out until Thursday or Friday but was still heavy fog so we stayed in and glad we did, found a very nice school of springs at Kirby, had to suck them outta the rocks on the low tide. Put 6 nice fish in the boat along with the coho, and that was that. Missed another 4 or 5 that morning so had lots of screaming reels.
Fished beside Mike Mitchel and BC Outdoors while they were filming, so that was kinda cool to see, think they only hit coho.
Had my GoPro which we had on for a non stop coho show but forgot the charger so missed the springs.
Lots of great hot weather and a moon going to the full made for some good and tough fishing.
Just have to find the bait, needle fish, opal squid and chovie sized herring, should be great going forward.
Cheers

We were up in Bamfield last week, and for a change we left our boats at home, and got Rick from Tyee lodge to take us out. We didn't go offshore. Lots of smaller fish around, coho. Got into some teen and 20's fish...So they are coming down. Very addicting area just beautiful...
Also enjoyed seeing some of the BC Tough guys like Kelly dancing on there boat past us...LOL....
Planning on fishing this area way more......in next few months... You guys have it very lucky nice area to fish in. So many more options to fish even if its blowing.
