Not sure if you guys have this or not but theres an app I use all the time to check the wind conditions out there in real time. Its called WindAlert. The 2 weather stations I look at is the Entrance Island one and the Nanaimo Beacon. Also shows wind direction and wind speed history, I wouldn't be without it.

Flattops producing nicely. A green 4 inch Coyote at 2.6mph 145 down in 650 feet water. Four chinook (two keepers) in 90 minutes this morning. Limit of ling off Thrasher, too.

Where exactly is the flattops? I've heard of it but haven't ever been out there. If you could help me out that would be great.
Thanks

Off the southeast end of Gabriola Island, north of Thrasher, in front of Silva Bay.

Got into a few today. Slower though for sure, kept 2 biggest 21 pounds. Half a dozen shakers. 150 feet Irish cream.

Seems the salmon were offshore a bit yesterday morning. Only one release in an hour at the 550-650 contour. Two doubles and a quick limit of two 15 pounders as soon as I drifted outside the ferry channel into 800 plus feet in front of the Flat Tops. Oh, lineup was a chartreuse squid in addition to the 4" Irish Creme Coyote, which I haven't taken out of the line up all season. I fish alone, so often choose to avoid the chaos of two lines. I had the thought that doubling up on the gear was attracting or triggering more fish. Lead depth a steady 130-145.

I fished closer to shore.. All the fish were above 130ft... I usually go much deeper... Spoons
In green and white and smaller plugs...
Kids got there first fish of the year, but for us nothing was over about 15lbs. All about 10-15lbs. Some reds, mostly marbled.
Could be totally different a week later tho...
