Title: Capilano Tidal Basin September 13th, 2007
Post by: Yofishon on September 13, 2007, 06:53:48 PM: I headed down the dogwalk , to check out the scene , with the outgoing tide , at 7:30 this am. Tide was still quite high.The odd fish jumping-sea lice , I think- with some pretty big splooshes , in the river.

Pounded it with small spinners for an hour , with no hits , despite hitting the jumpers on the head. Some nice little silver Coho , along with some bigger springs , were moving through.

Left the river and headed to the breakwater, for some ocean casting. I still had 30 lb test on , from my Bamfield trip.

Needles to say , I wasn't getting good distance. Spoke with one fellow , whom landed a 7 lb spring earlier on a buzz bomb, but he released it, being under 63 centimetres (27 inches ?)

Nice morning , but I think that the Fraser pinks , are a little more accessable right now.

WATCH THOSE JAGGED ROCKS - One false step , and a whole can of hurt can be opened for your behalf- ' specially for us old guys.

LOL :D :D

I was out a couple of weeks ago and caught a 24" spring but couldn't for the life of me find my regs on-board to see if it was legal. For some reason I had in my mind that 24" was OK but wasn't sure so I released it. I was going to keep that little one because it managed to take the hook pretty deep and I doubt it was going to make it. After checking the regs when I got home I was glad I let it go.
