I'm usually out alot during the winter months but not this year. Business has been " funny" lately but not in a bad way:wink:(too busy). The Sculpin needs some more refit time to boot.

I'm getting cabin fever pretty bad and I decided to not take any holidays this winter and when I do get a chance I'm going to get that battleship tip top real soon:-D.

I heard prawning is real good right now and the winter springs are being caught quite frequently.

Wishing to get back out soon to do some fishing. Boat is out of the water on the hard doing some upgrades, tune up and bottom paint.

The prawning has been good off chemainus as for fishing have only heard of a couple caught,not too many people been heading out yet.

Local winter spring fishing has been good when the wind is not blowing. Tunstall bay has been good when the seals not around, there has been some action at the waterfall as well. As always 10 feet off the bottom good luck

Ya it,s been decent off Nanaimo and Ladysmith. Prob same to the north and south. Plenty of 8-12lb winter springs coming in. glow green, or black and white spoons been good for me. Afew 14lbs and lotsa small coho. It's been a great winter so far.

First mate Jake just got the boat gutted out this weekend. Hope to start the modifications real soon. I have to get the batteries up out of the aft hold and into a new cabinet that I will build along the transom. I will post pic's of the project when it gets under way.

I'm out of prawns and need to get out soon:-D.

[pnbrock]

[Chuck]

Well, I know nothing about the art of salt water fishing, but I'm going out tomorrow morning early on Kootenay Lake to harass those rainbows.
Maybe we'll bring home a nice 20 pounder or 2 as well.
