Despite the post by Tortuga in another thread
"A bit of good news.
Test fisheries up north just broke some records.
Not positive about the size but I'm guessing bigger than last year.
It seems to me that nobody has experienced real good fishing for chum this year. I'm not sure that an earlier or later date for the derby would result in better fishing than we will experience this coming weekend.

The Big Q and the Puntledge are full of chum.
A couple weeks a go they were jumping everywhere at the north end of Lambert channel.
There are lots of fish around to account for the record tests but they sure weren't biters.
We need a second wave of biters, thats for sure.

Washed gear for hours today with a couple friends. The only fish we seen were in the seiners nets. Didn't see any fining, jumping or nets in the air. This has to be the worst Chum season to date that I have ever seen for Browns Bay.
I will not travel to Browns Bay again this season unless the fishing starts to get better.

Wasn't me, there is a 24' Ive seen around maybe it was him. Every time I have thought about going there has been lousy reports.

Lots Seiners heading south, going by Campbell River, most looked like they are riding high.
Only seen one so far that is a bit low in the water. Hope the chums will be here in
good numbers for the derby, and that they are the biters. ...........BB

Was out today 1pm -4pm Lots of seiners . All were pulled up by 2pm and heading south. I fished half way to green sea just past Quadra then down north of deep water. Only saw one other boat I stopped and talked to up north no fish seen none jumping by them. Headed farther south to deepwater and finally saw another boat fishing deepwater and at around 3 pm saw my first and only 2 jumpers of the day. 4 other boats came out after 3pm never saw any fish hit and I never had even a sniff. Fished 55'-90' pink and pink/black squirts 4 flashers 2 rods.
