    Hammered winter springs today

    A good day on the chuck today, we boated 10 springs varying from 6-12/13 pounds. Couldn't have asked for a better day. Topped it off with an awesome bbq for dinner. Time to get the smoker up and running again !

    Re: Hammered winter springs today

    I was fishing the hump off kitty coleman (courtenay area).
    I wish I had a bit of a story to tell but it was just a good day of fishing, we caught them all trolling, although we varied our presentations. Started with cut plug (caught 4) a night rider coyote spoon (2) OLR12 hootchie (3) and one on a cop car. 6 were taken using a dummy flasher with the presentation on a 9 weight fly rod (way better fight) and they were all caught between 175-200 feet except for one that took at approx 100 feet on the retrieve to check my gear (which was a double header because my buddy already had one on) Oh yeah my downrigger cable sprouted 4 frays so I had to re-crimp my downrigger cannonball snap each time. I hate losing $25 cannon balls and I use 15 pounders so they snap off easily when it frays, although I put snubbers on and they reduced a lot of the line shock. Thats all I can tell ya!

    That's sounds like a good trip BTS. I've never fished off Courtenay before. We fished off of Deep Bay a few times with success. Enjoy the smoked fish .
