kind of at the hump, closer to the Q.A., but we hooked the springs right where the color change happens for the Fraser. It seems we found the fish then it was over. Had to get back early so maybe missed a couple more.

Talked to a couple of guide friends who found some good action, with a couple of boats finding a double header and a few hook ups at the "spot". It wasn't fast and furious, but there was good action. They each boated a couple of nice fish. One of them reported they had a 22 lb Red. The average size seems to be in the low double digits with some into the mid teens.
It got nasty out there in a hurry and it was "over" by noon.
Hoping this wind dies down and behaves for tomorrow despite the forecast. [}

Good stuff Briso! That's a fun morning.
I am off the water until at least the 12th. Hopefully some action is left for me then.

Well things have slowed down for me in the last few days. Had a couple undersize and a crack a two good hits which were both on my friends set up. Not the action I experienced the last week of April. That being said I know some boats still did alright , so the fishing could still be hot just not for me. Just because a guy gets skunked on one day and the day before was being reported as hot doesn t mean the report is bs. South bowen is a big area and fish could be anywhere alot of the boats reporting are on the water everyday and professional guides I should hope they do a bit better than the rest of us. I have had days at the cap where you fish right beside some of these guys and you watch them bring fish after fish in and I THINK TO MYSELF WHAT THE HELL. I have now had the reverse success and I only stated fishing last year. My point is I have pretty much learned how to fish from these reports and the help of local guides so every one please still let the reports pour in, even if its a report with no fish .

Out this afternoon off south bowen. Dropped the lines about 1:30 headed in about 4:00. Not even a hit on the hump so we went deeper between bowen and the hump. Hit two keeper's (low teens) lost one. Releaed two more under size. Was a lot of tapping going on once we found the fish but most wern't sticken. All in all was a good day out till the rain and wind got to much. All the fish where at 150-170ft on the wire, flashers and spoons. The glow kitchen sink seemed to get the most hits, hits were quite consistent from about 2:00 to 3:15 ish.
I'm setting my priorities. I'm making time for fishing.

Thanks for the info guys.
So we went out early Wednesday to fish around Bowen and the hump. Tried various spoons at various locations but came up empty handed. Once we were out there we thought maybe it would have been nice to have some bait. Well it was the first time out this year and even if the fish didn't cooperate the weather did.

Hit up south bowen today and spent the day bobbing around looking for the big one. The big one stood us up but we did manage 2 keepers 10 and 12 lbs both very red. Released two more that were 61cm , so close to a limit day. The morning was pretty slow as we hit our fish staggered through out he day , some other boats had a solid morning . Green hoochy did all the damage for us, but both fish had a belly full of herring one was a greedy ******* with a 8 or 9 inch herring in there. Going to try herring tomorrow and see what happens. Prawning was good cause I am usually happy just to find my traps where I left them , but today we had about 180. Crabbing was also good.

hit south bowen again today found our action in close to passage island in the morning boxing a 11lbs spring on herring . Had another good sized fish on later but my leader failed. A few other boats did well in close aswell some boxed springs in the 20 range. 100 ft zone was working for me on the rigger with the exception of the fish we boxed on the way home off the bell , it hit at 178 and liked the green hoochy . Hope the water is as nice tomorrow.
