Big huge screaming fish, mostly whites and marbles and these bad boys are heading somewhere south and we were fortunate enough to get to spend the weekend with them. What a show.
Throwing back 15, 17 and 20 lbers is a pretty nice situation to be in!
Big fish have been out here on the banks for the last 2 weeks pretty steady, although they've
been moving around following the schools of baitfish. There are lots of pilchards out here right now and most of these big hogs are plugged with them. Plugs and spoons are what we have been killing them on, and the best plugs have been the 602, 232 and the 700, although I have to admit Rob Van Pelt from Pacific Net and Twine gave me a ridiculous looking plug with pink eyes, a blue head and a prism-like wrapping Tomic custom made for him and that plug slayed. We got 5 beauties on it, and for a while it was outfishing the 602-which is a gold standard out here. So if you get a chance stop by and see him and order a couple of those things. They're ugly, but they work!
We got some halis out at 10 mile, there's not huge schools of dogfish here right now, so you can get some salmon bellies on the bottom and and actually jig them up rather than deal with sharks, which is nice.
Anyone who is thinking about fishing out here this summer should get on a plane or the ferry right now...it's that good.
