I see on another thread were some guys are asking for more reports. I also see were the guy posting the reports is getting bashed as a spammer. For myself I like to read reports about other parts of the coast, but get tired of all the non report crap that gets posted. maybe the Mods could have a report only forum like some other sites.
A lot of us that could post reports don't for the very reason that someone always bashes you. I've seen Wolf accused of going over his limit for Hali's, and Osama having too big of balls. I've never posted a picture on here and probably never will because of this. I don't want to have to defend myself for no reason. I don't want to have to explain that you can use a barbed hook on a hootchie to troll Hali's, or check every picture for beer cans. Just because there is twenty fish laying on the dock and only one or two guys in the pic, I don't think I should have to explain that maybe others headed for the can, or have already got there feet up drinking a cold one.
If you want to read Bamfield reports go to my website where I try and update weekly. I only report on what I do, and post new, current pictures.
That's my rant and spam for the day!
Wednesday I fished one tac a Beale on my way out to retrieve my Hali anchor which I had left out after catching a couple of 25 pounders on Tuesday with guests.
Lost the first two springs and got the third one. A nice ten pounder which was all I was after. I got to my anchor and hooked up but the waves would roll right up over the bow and roof so I didn't put a line out but pulled the anchor and headed back in. After seeing a bunch of bait off of the corner breaker I couldn't resist putting the gear back out. Got the first rod fishing right on the bottom with a needle fish hootchie, and was putting the second rod out when I heard a wave coming. I looked over to the port side and had enough time to duck as about fifty gallons of water came over the side of the boat and onto the deck. Now I was soaked and standing 4 inches of water, I decided I didn't need a second fish that bad.
So ya. Fishing is good if you can fish where they are, but be prepared to take a beating. Lots of Springs at the surf line, but not much near the harbour lately.
