Got out on in the local hole today in the salt. Got a nice 9 lb spring and the seals were kind to me and let me boat him. Campsite keeper said not much had been coming in so I had to change that report for him ;) Actually today was the better of the last few days as half a dozen came in between 9-12 lbs. It's a matter of DAYS until the big boys start showing up, they are over due. Still a nice day on the water and, hey, helluva tan too! We stacked rods today and he took a 5" mother of pearl coyote spoon on the top rod. Army truck glow hootchie with a purple haze flasher and a green haze with a OLR12 hootchie also went for a swim today but to no avail. Unusual tide rips today, I havent seen them here in a long long time. Oh yeah a small pod of whales came through so I am sure that put the fish off as well.
Also a friend recently returned from bamfield and hooked into a few 25-40 lb halis, a couple 50's and lost a nice 80-90 at the boat after the harpoon tore out. Bummer!
Good luck !
