70 fathoms used to be the prime depth off Carmanah back in my dark seining days in the early 80's. Deeper closer to Renfrew. There has to be some there.

I think you mean feet not fathoms? 70 feet sounds about right, thanks.

Yes, at 420 feet deep!!!! Right, and I might have started a bit deeper so thanks for that.
Excellent feedback. Now I know exactly where to start.

Two days of big slab action at Camper fri &sat. Out at first light and our limit by 8:30 friday. 1- 40lber, 2-30lbers and a scrappy 28lber to round it out. Out to 600 ft of water to bag a sockeye and three pinks and back in to dry land by noon.
Saturday first light and another four slabs in the boat. 1-35lb , 1-30lb, a 26 and a 22, with a 24lber released for good Karma. Fresh run came through on the tide swing. Smaller fish, but super scrappy and shiny bright. Out to 100 feet of water for two quick double headers of pinks and the fishing was done. Probably my best trip of fishing... ever!
Lot of soft hits,especially at first light. Had to watch the lines like a hawk as a subtle tic was enough to maul the bait.
Most hits were preceded by a tic on the line, with a good rod pump as much as twenty seconds after, so dont be quick to pull up if you think you had a strike.
Ebb fishing at it's finest!

Fishing in Renfrew is still hot hot hot. Swiftsure bank brings quick limits of salmon and Halis' in the AM, the PM can be scratchy on the bank, best bet is first light, with weather like we have been having, run right out there and get 'em!

Guys it is still hot in Renfrew. Worked a bit harder to get alot of action but once we dialed things in and kept to our game plan things rounded off to be another fantanstic trip.
A few pics
Oh and yes that slab was taken on a cast fly. Saw a few nice porpoising springs and cast to them. What a fight!

Halis were on the drift yesterday, and the anchor today. Looks like our Swiftsure drift'n'jerk season is over. Anchor was great with 6 kept and several released. Salmon is good on the banks, but slowing down. Crabbing is FINALLY starting to slow down a bit, but a couple of traps ought to get you a great feed! Back at 'er again tomorrow!

We whent out for Salmon at logan and got 2 early another at Walbran.... plus broke off a couple... Ran out for Hali. Anchored up and got 2 nice 40's and a 100 lber...Just a gong show as she wrapped up all the other lines and just missed the anchor rope... We packed it in after that... Didnt try to kill ourselve trying to get limits of everything... Davey was pretty happy... Mike N. had a pretty good time playing a few salmon and a hali. real nice guy... he's got all teh photos plus some video... just waitin to get it.
