Howdy,
How has the 'Fog' been out there you guys.
Does a guy need radar this time of year or what?
Sounds like some decent winter-fishing is upon us.
Thanks,
Terry

Fog lifted around noon yesterday, before that visibilty was about
100 yards
100 yards
Off of Victoria, I don't think I would bother. My reason for that, is, that the only traffic that you would have to worry about would be crossing the shipping lanes on your way to Constance. Once at Constance, if you are in less then 200ft of water on the north side, you are out of the shipping lanes. The lanes should be marked clearly on any current nav chip for your plotter, which you would need to find Constance anyway.
There is traffic out of the innter harbour, with the CLipper and Coho, but there is so much clutter there with boats, Broachie Lighthouse and whatnot that it's unlikeley one would be able to focus on the radar and fish effectivly without getting "nerved out", for lack of better words. When foggy, stick to Clover/Constance, go slow, or just stay in that day. I only use my Radar when fishing the shipping lanes on the South Side of Swiftsure.

Your weren't the only one not getting multiple fish
you got 1 more bite than me...but it was nice to get out.
I talked to a few people at Cheanuh and they didn't get much action either...by the sounds of it thurs, friday and sat were on fire. It figures the days I am busy are the good days.
But a bad day fishing is a heck of alot better than a good day working

Lost a real good fish this afternoon, had the feel of a heavy summer
fish You just know it was a good one when the hootchy was driven
right up to the flasher.
released a small one, and put a 9 lb'er in the tub.
Overall it was slower today than yesterday...
Anybody tried a hootchy called "El-nino" ???
the springs seemed to like that flavor today [8D]

Hi,
Had no luck today as well because we were too unsure we should go out in the fog. I suggested we try around Victoria harbour just to be safe. No fish but a pleasure to be fishing in late November.

Fished Conny today, started out slow but heated up around 11:30. Most fish were around 6-8# on spoons with dummy flashers. Looked like some guys were doing well with plastic as well. Managed a 25# hali just for fun, great day nice and mild for Nov-Dec..

Went out of Cheanuh on Sunday put the gear down right outside of the marina and trolled near the bottom caught lots of cod so I must have been deep enough. Shortened my leaders to 2 feet with a glow hootchie and picked up my first winter spring. 10 pounds of fighting fury .... 3 long runs later he was in the boat. On the way back we checked our crab traps... not a lot but we did get a couple. Fresh Salmon with a lemon dill sauce and some fresh crab to go with it..... perfect!!! So I will be go out again and hope for some more of those winter springs.... good fighting and good tasting.... Steve.
