Hey Guys,
With the rec prawn opening in Saanich Inlet on the 1st, I figured there would be a good amount of eye balls on the water to help track the herring spawn(should it show). The last good spawn, that I have been made aware of, occurred in 2012 with heavy spawning in Deep Cove and along the headlands between Deep Cove all the way in to Coles Bay. There were probably a lot of other sites, but those were the ones we witnessed. March 31st, was the day that it started in 2012 in Deep Cove so it could be any day.
Please post any accounts that you see of any activity; milky water, birds, sea lions, etc.
As part of a DNA study that is happening we would also like to get a hold of any samples(fin clippings, eggs, etc) so if anyone has any success jigging. Please let me know.
Thanks!
Andrew
