[frayedknot]

Thinking of going out for halibut on sunday morning weather permiting . Not sure where to go Border bank , Albert head , William head ,or Contance bank east , west , north , or south ? Not looking for gps # just want some general advice . e-mail me if you rather thanks for any help . I was thinking SE Contance ?????[8D]

at this point the forecast is for southeast sunday a.m.
which may hamper the efforts, however i have heard Constance
has been giving up some flatfish on the right tides !

 

[Last Chance]

You have untill MAYBE 11:00 at Constance on Sunday. I would suggest one of the pinnacles off Race Rocks, or off the west side of Race, you will probably be able to fish all day there. Constance will be tough.

I agree w/LC & RS,and would look again at these...friends caught some at race rks.

find a spot w/deep close by...early fish move thru the deep and into shallow spots to eat. Good Luck! Be Careful, with the snow so low, (down to the beach) on the US side it could really blow harder than they call for. Of course they'll upgrade the forecast when it hits.[xx(]

[Tips Up]

I'll be out there weather permitting. Daybreak til 11 or so. Tides look until then but when it turns it will pick up fast.

Looks like gales and rain for the weekend there is lots of time yet to go get hali all the reports I have heard is there is one here and one there and a few trips of being skunked nothing hot yet it is a little early yet when the herring really start the run and then the return back out is when I have found it to be really good oooppps just gave another one of my secrets away.

Get the honey do lists done and away so when it really gets good you can go with out debate all YOU married guys know what I am saying LOL LOL LOL

You guys are so over anxious remember it wasnt until the late 90s we wernt allowed out there until april 1 because it was all closed to fishing and we all said it was too early then!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've startd on my spring work already. Earning as many pre fishing points with the women as I can. I do what I must. But if it came down to choosing... I am afraid im going to miss her. Most of my stuff with fit in the boat anyways.

 

[Tips Up]

Sunday am was a nice break in the weather. Very calm all the way to Constance with a few rollers. As predicted the tides were slow and variable until around 10 then picked up quickly. Pulled anchor at 11:00 when the wind and tides picked up. Bit of a rough ride from the yellow can in.

No hali for us. Did not see or hear of any either.
Any one else get out??

Word to newbies. Stick to your plans. Check the weather, tides and currents and play it safe. It was still calm and fishable at the bank but had really picked up close to shore. We stuck to our plan and had no problems. Another 1/2 hour and it would have been interesting coming in with my smaller boat.
