[Jacob's Ladder]

Fished from 10-2. Fished in front of gravel pit and towards Albert head because of the strong westerlies. . Landed a small possibly legal chinook which we released in 110 feet close to albert head. Picked up a screemer in 90' of liquid in front of gravel pit on the turn. Lost it at the boat. Had a good look and fish and it would have been over 10 lbs. great day with my father who is here from the east kootnays. Both fish caught on glow batrix anchovy with dummy flashers. Might be out tomorrow first thing and for sure out on monday. Might head to my old stomping ground in Sidney.

I used up the last of my hali in early Jan so it was nice to have the weather cooperate to an extent..

Put up with a few hours of chit and abuse from this guy..

It wasn't so bad though....

We had fun... Thanks again buddy

Whoa, what's going on in the pic Lipripper? Looks you guys had 3-4 flatties right at the boat! Nice work!

 

[firelight]

well done that's great to see with any luck that could be a few of us Friday,

After the wind the past while it was nice to get a break and get out fishing.

It started out pretty nice.

The ride out didn't take long. Fresh snow on the Olympic peninsula.

And we were into the target species right of the hop.

Nick reeled in this nice 30lber after Roy had us set up and fishing. Then I reeled in a 12lber that we released cause it was just barely lip hooked. After that it was quiet for a while but we pulled it off in the end. What a nice boat Roy has to fish in, especially on a cold day like today.

Nice to get out for a change. Thanks guys for a great day, just sitting at the ferry on the way home.

wow pretty good first post, they should give prizes out, somebody send this guy a t shirt or something.

 

[Shepnoir]

Four fish 15-50+(nice fish) over 4 hours. Two double headers about hour and a half before and after tide change. Let the last guy swim. Squid and herring was the ticket. First I've ever caught on a handline. Fun & something different. Busy, but not complaining!

Congrats on the great day Nick. Hope you took lots of mental notes. Now right that **** down before you forget half of it. I know I would at least.

Did you guys have any heated discussions about SVIAC? I know you have had some criticism about the group.

 

[Finished Business]

We left the poltics to the forums and focused on a good day of fishing. My criticism was directed more to the lack of information available to the general public from SVIAC, but I see no reason to go down that road again. Lets just say I look forward to any advancements from this group. I appreciate their efforts.

Wolf was nice enough to let me swing the gopro in any direction I wanted so I documented anchoring techniques, fillet techniques ect in video detail so nothing will be lost to this foggy memory! Lol

It was a great experience fishing Victoria, even better to do it with Roy aka Blue Wolf
