Based on the fishing pattern there should be lots of fish around for this year's Silva Bay derby (June 16-17). The derby has over $10,000 in prizes including a Lowrance HDS10 sounder with structure scan. $3000 value. It will be awarded by draw from all derby tickets purchased. You don't have to be there to win it. Great odds. Just get a $25 derby ticket at Harbour Chandler or Gone Fishin. Other prizes include cash, electric downriggers, Ace prawn trap puller, rod and reel combos, etc, etc. Have fun and support a good cause. Proceeds to the Nanaimo River Fish Hatchery.

Send me a PM if you have any questions.

Good to here Brad. Nice fish.

Got out for a few hours yesterday afternoon. Hooked two fish. Both down deep 180-200 ft. Released one next to the boat as it was hovering around that legal size. Nasty boy spoon. Kept one, 20 lbs on an Irish Creme spoon. Only a few boats out as it was a bit lumpy. No seals to be seen. We were about 2 miles off Neck Point.

Im heading to Gabriola (north end) this weekened and I hear lots of action around Five fingers Island. I have never fished that area before... Can anyone tell me what side/depth to be targeting?

Hats off to all the boats that stayed out last Saturday morning..... kinda bumpy. At one point a wave came right over the bow and soaked all three of us.(not dangerous but good for a laugh!) No Chinook love for us, but that Irish Cream spoon sure looked good in the water.
Cheers

Got off to a late start and was fishing the big mid-day flood.. Got a couple nice fish, weather was off and on... and it looks like a crappy forcast for the fathers day weekend...

 

[Peterman]

Got out today for the low change... Lost one at 930am then nothing...

Buddy was out aswell and hit 2 fish at 9-930 then nothing..

Seems things may have slowed a little off Nanaimo a tad...

 

[Seafever]

Weather good today off Nan? Up here by Parksville it's been blowing like a screaming bee-otch all day.....

Just like all the other days....

What did I do to p*ss the God's off.........

 

[Peterman]

Its been a challenge to say the least... Weather Down here I believe has been a little less windy but not much... makes for a long day off the Fingers, not so bad along Neck point and places closer in...
We could use a weather break thats for sure...
