September 29th - Mill Bay (#34)

Pete, Graeme and I went for a day's prawning in Saanich inlet. I decided to try dropping some pots in Brentwood Bay and had some success there. No success in Coles bay and some success off Ardmore. 200 prawns overall in about 3 hours fishing. One trap had nothing in it and another had nothing but squat lobsters - about 15-20 feet deeper than the others...We went over to Mill Bay for lunch and had a nice meal at Bridgeman's Bistro. After lunch we tried bucktailing and trolling a spoon in the hope of coho off Cherry point, but no luck. Conditions were wonderful all day! We had fun checking out the big sea lions on the buoy in the middle of Pat Bay.

September 16th - Pedder Bay (#33)

Martin and I went for a morning fishing trip out into the strait off of Pedder Bay. There was a bit of wind and chop but not too bad. The fishing started slowly but we eventually had 7 hookups and kept 4 nice coho!

September 10th - Hamley Point (#32)

Martin and I went for an afternoon/evening fishing trip to Hamley Point up on the south end of Sidney Island. Conditions were nice but though we saw what we thought were fish on the sounder, we did not connect with any! Natural C-lection is working well with its new features! I love the autopilot!
