I've had my success at the fingers from 150-160ft. Here's the 29lb View attachment 11517

looks like you were halibut fishing judging by that rod and reel in the background, lol.

















No offense meant but i figured i'd be first

Fished 5-8 last night off fingers and picked up a 10 pounder close in. First fish in 2 years since I was out of the country last year.

Congrats on the 29, that's a great fish. Was it white or red?

Snotty yesterday but managed 15,10. 170 purple on purple chovy.

It was marbly. All the bigger ones I've caught this year have been marbly colour. I've had a couple small ones that have been nice and pink. So good eat.

On monday launched in Crofton went through porlier pass up to Nanaimo. Fished Fingers for a bit Caught 1 worth keeping. Still pretty small. Wind and waves ended up getting annoying so cruised back through dodd narrows fished porlier for a bit. Didnt catch anything there. Just a small ling that I found out I was dragging around. Was fishing blue and green flashers, tried spoons and hoochies, a white flash fly behind a blue had all the action. Fish was not marble.

I'm going out tomorrow with my neighbour and his wife. I thought of trying out from Fingers but maybe with the lady along I'd try around Mistaken Island instead since we'll be in an open 16 footer and she likes to drink coffee. Is there any thing to look out for in that area?

 

[Seafever]

If you're going around Mistaken , keep an eye on your depthsounder.......contour is up and down and a lot on the buoy side......

Good marine map will show you what I mean....

At 170 feet deep fishing close to bottom in front of Neck Point Park picked up 26 pound white spring on Irish Cream spoon on Sunday afternoon

Nice fish Han! Love the white springs.. What I noticed last year was that a lot of the early season fish were either white or marbled, the odd one was a red. Then later in the season it was all reds. Assume its just different runs coming through at different times. I gotta say too i'm pretty happy about how many people are posting their fishing reports here in the Nanaimo thread. I don't remember even close to the amount of members posting last season, awesome to see guys! Good to see a lot of new members as well.

Fished 5pm to 8pm, unbelievably calm out there, sunny and clear. Tons of weed floating around out off the fingers. Some good hits early on and just before heading in my buddy hooked up with a nice fish. White green with an orange stripe coyote spoon, no flasher around 150 feet (my new digital Scotty display crapped out, 3rd time using it). No exact weight as my digital scale crapped out too (batteries).
