Halibut are here… my 35 lb hali for dinner

Halibut have been getting caught in close by areas. I picked up one on the troll… it was 108 cm and weighted in at 35lbs, another guide was on the hook and picked up a 133cm and an 89 cm, others have also been catching either by troll or on the hook. Loaded on my anchoring system today, so I am ready for some hali action ….. Lets go hali fishing!!!

Big Red Rockfish – Vermillions

yelloweye-rock-fish
A couple really nice vermillion rock fish….. a few good pieces of white meat. Vermillion is also called red snapper by some locals, the meat is a little courser than other rockfish and has been used as a filler trick when canning the white meat mixing with dungeness crab, when you open a can and eat it you would think it was all Dungeness crab……

April 24th – some nice chinooks out here

Phillipe, Martin and Gilles from Quebec ventured out with us on April 24 and had a great time. The day started off with some strong NW winds and big seas out front so we ventured down to bear island and alley rock and fish there for a few hours….. fishing anchovies and a small blue, with green stripe nickel goldstar spoon. Martin was on the first fish, it was a high teener and got away to grow some more. Giles got the next one a real nice high teener, so he was able to get the skunk off the boat. We picked up a few more fish and released a few fish, turned out to be a nice day but the winds gradually  picked to over 30 knots, seas getting bigger and white caps all over….     www.wildpacificcharters.com  250-735-9453  Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.

Finally A Rear Station Helm Installed

Finally got a second helm in the stern of the boat… it will make it better when landing a fish instead of relying on the autopilot or running back and forth to forward helm… can’t wait to get out and try it out… Boat going in for a little cosmetic glass work and when it returns it will get a good spring cleaning and start loading it up for launching in the beginning of March. …. get out to get some prawns and also fish in the annual Sproat Lake Loggers Derby they have in Barkley Sound on the first Saturday and Sunday in march. Check out the Early Season Discounts for salmon and cod fishing maybe even some crabs ….. discounts for March, April and May. Ling Cod opens April 1st. Salmon, Rock Cod and Crabbing is always open.
