Always had my best fishing at the Golf Course in the afternoon and early evening.... 2pm-8pm. I can't do the morning bite there any more.
The sunrise is right in your face for 4 or 5 hours ... from sunrise till about 8am. You will bake badly and go through about 2 gallons of liquid.

Yeah i was referring to fishing this week at sandheads in Vancouver. I echo your statement about baking in the august fishery, brutally hot some times, lots of times end up with a headache at the end of the day,

Don't you just go inside and take a nap on the couch while you're fishing?

At the golf course it's just rocks.... no couch. The area that you spin cast from is facing directly east... No relief from the morning
sun and nowhere to get away from it.

Your talking Victoria golf course right? Not a big fan of fishing there with all the rich jerks giving me funny looks. Heard of some big fish caught there though, maybe I’ll give it a shot again

yes the Victoria Golf Course in Oak Bay... I fish just below the ninth hole. Not to much parking before 11am as most of the ground workers are there from sunrise till aprox. 11am. The parking is on the high side of the hill on Beach drive. Then I just follow the gravel path down to the lower fairways,waiting for the golfers to play through then scoot over to the ninth hole. Over the years the management has been sticky about going across the course. Some years the course has gotten trashed by students and grads.
and they try and keep everyone out... if you have to you can always walk the shoreline from the small park to the west off of Hood Ln. and then down to Radcliff ln.to get to Gonzales point.

Thinking you may have company soon....

Not a problem at all. It's been very lonely down there for the last few years. Twenty years ago it was wall to wall.
I have seen 20 guys and gals all crossing lines and trying to fish down there on a good year.

Last weekend: Lots of bait between there and Trial Island at the bottom of the ebb, which gets blown right past the links when the flood starts to push.
