Lots of great sunshine has finally arrived! The giant pumpkins in my garden are loving the heat and growing massive. The tourists have arrived as well, large herds of brightly dressed people wandering the island seeking food and shelter.
I have been fishing out of the kayak on a fairly regular basis and having lots of success. We have been catching big ling cod by the mouth of active pass. There have been a few big ones break the line, and also one energetic cod that flipped himself out of the boat and back into the ocean. Feisty guy.
Yesterday was spent with Salish Sea fishing charter, trolling for salmon in porlier pass. We caught 5 salmon, but mostly babies, and one that was almost legal sized (3-4lbs).
On the west coast of Vancouver island, the inshore fishing is really picking up. Bamfield is in the midst of a large salmon run and it will only get better as this month progresses. I might try to take a trip out the the seabeam lodge again, if they have a rental boat for me.
Summer is here at last and I'm going to make the best of it!
