Mikeyman, a couple guides I would recommend would be wolf, tailspin, or give Trevor a call from
No bananas. All three would be an excellent time and put u on some fish.

Around 14lbs...
First day of the season out on my boat (launched, tuned everything in and moored it 2 wks ago)! Great day to be on the water, dead clam. Started at 8:30 and fished across the the bluffs, with spoons and hotchies in 120-150' of water, no bait seen and no fish. Carried on to the trailer park, switched the hootchie to a bloody nose and anchoive with a UV/purple like flasher. Started to see bait and with in about 20mins had a great hit. In about 100', with downrigger at 90'. Ran line out several times, then busted the leader! The fish definately had shoulders and nice to feel a decent spring on the line again. Made a few tracks back and forth between Otter and Trailer Park, still saw a few decent bait balls on the sonar, but no more fish. Last tac carried on past Otter to second rock, a few small bait balls, but no fish. Called it a day at 12 and headed home. There was a half dozen boats around the same areas and didn't see anyone else hook up. Great to be out again and looking forward to the rest of the season!!!

Until June 15th they have to be less than 10 lbs, approximately
I hope the Vancouver based commercial crabbers get their gear out of the prime fishing tacks soon. I couldn't believe where some of this gear was placed. The local commercial guys would never do this as they know it is better to respect one another's fishery. Last time out the floats were from 3rd rock all the way up to the little ledge just east of the mouth of Muir (off the big house) and all along the 90-120 foot depth.

Huh? That's just a half day... Get back out there!
P.S was the jumper hooked without a flasher on your line?

With a flasher. Thinking it was a big part of why I lost this particular fish. As we all know how it goes when they start jumping.
Ive never had a fish that size jump so many times. Very exciting. And with the thought of a release in my mind. Not to worried I lost it either!
-Cheers!

If you have a trap in the harbour, you might want to check on them. It was a day with big tides and lotsa weeds. Thanks for a heads up from a buddy, I got mine before it went for Japan.
