Great day yesterday on the chuck. We got to the North Arm at 7:15,gear down by 7:30. First hit was on a green spatterback spoon within 10 minutes. While playing that fish our second rod (anchovy) went off. Needless to say, with both of us on rods we were having a challenging time netting my fish. Finally my fishing partner dropped the net in the water and we watched as it floated away
. At this point it was either cut the lines or figure something out. Deciding to play the fish out until they were tired was the only option. After 15 minutes mine seemed ready. I handed the rod (partner now holding his rod in his left with his fish still thrashing and mine in his right). Had him hold the right to the bow of the boat while I grabbed my line and tail grabbed the fish (after lots of thrashing). Next was the second fish and after another 20 minutes I recognized he was tired enough to try for another tail grab. After several dives and some crazy thrashing I was able tail grab this one and into the boat. 2 15#`ers (one white one red) within 40 minutes of being on the water - woot! Trolled around the north arm until around 1 and decided to hit the mouth of the cap after refueling in Coal Harbour and a quick peek at nets at the marina(where we decided it was too much money to spend $100 on a net. Went to the cap and within 30 minutes had another large hit. Played that fish for 30 minutes and was able to tail grab it into the boat as well. Another 14# spring. I can't really express the feeling of tail grabbing fish, it was surreal. It was also one of the only times I've ever been out and landed all fish that we had hits on.... very epic day.
