fished browns bay a couple days ago, there were about 4 caught by the guides from painters, nothing for us but pinks..
They said they were fishing 110-120 feet deep, one fish looked 20+ others between 12-15 pounds

FD, glad to see that you got some nice fish and had a safe trip. Going thru the narrows was fun I bet? Hope to see some pics of your fishing trip on your hunting forum? I am a "Guest" on there daily, no lurking for me.

Fished through the narrows yesterday. Started at Green Sea and made a couple passes and not a bite. There where maybe 10 boats there. Moved up the channel to Nodales to Davies Point. (About 25 boats including the OBMG) Within ten minutes had my first hit a 20LB spring and while reeling it in the other other rod went off. Got it in the boat and a 12LB spring. Gave it back to the fish gods as was looking for big fish but kept the 20LB'r. Trolled another 2 hours and not a bite until I reeled in to leave but spit the hook. Only seen 2 other boats land fish. Wind had started to really blow so headed back. Stopped at Browns Bay for 1 quick pass and showing fish but no bites. Back out there again later this week

You are going too slow... speed up. If you have every watched the commercial trollers, you will realize that slow speed for springs is not the only way to catch them.

CL is right - Too slow = dogfish. When the dogfish start showing up around the Hump, you can't use bait either or nothing but dogfish. Hoothie, spoons or plugs are the ticket

Did not get out - wife wanted to go to the Market. I wandered out to the pier to watch other people having fun, saw an 10-11 year old kid catch his first fish ever. He was from Alberta. Caught a 36.5lb tyee. The grin while he was weighing the fish and all the attention made my day!

Once I get my pics uploaded, I'll start a new thread with them. I have nothing but amazing things to say about Painters Lodge and the guides. Awesome time had by my dad and me.
