Fished the Hump tonight from 6:30PM to 8:30PM and hit 9 fish and fished with only one rod. What a blast. All where undersized and 50CM to 55CM. A ton of big bait balls also showing all over on the sounder.
Out again tommorow trying to find the bigger fish. If keep hitting small will try 5/6" plugs or spoons.

The Hump. Fished the edd today and 20lb with 5 minutes of dropping the rigger. Lost a 25LB beside the boat (Not the first and wont be the last, price you pay for fishing alone) and tossed back a few under sized. Big hit took a 100 yards of line twice before it spit the hook. I am sure more than a few boats heard me cursing. Lots of fish being caught. Great day on the water and lots of people getting limits.

hey guys. I fly fish all the time off salmon point and the oyster river for pinks and coho but im thinkin of bringing my 14.5 footer to do some trolling for some springs, shes all set up with electrics and sounders and such just curios on spots to go. As well as any good spots to go jigging, either for salmon from a boat or just bottom fish and halibut. the boat does 35mph so i can get around quickly. thanks

Try jigging on the "Hump" south end of Quadra Island, find 140' and your home free...........BB
Heck with a 14 footer you could cut plug right down the middle of the straight hit the hump and run all the way back up to to top and start again. I fished this area in a 14 for almost 10 years, and bet to say i took more fish in the tub than i have in the current boat all rigged out with equipment.

I saw some jiggers out there the other day catching a salmon.
Basically if you find bait on your sounder...DROP EM DOWN and JIG!
For bottom fish the hump is COVERED with Grey Cod, do us a favour and go jig some up and get them out of there.
You may even get lucky, over the course of the last month a few Hali's have come in (though 'few' is the word).
Some folks used to jig right in close to the cape mudge lighthouse in the eddy's and do well, but it can make a mess of your gear.
Also either end or the sides of the hump can have bait clustering on them at times and would be an ideal place to try and jig for salmon.
