July 10th Report Posted 10 Jul 2010 IN: General BY QCL
.jpg) Light westerlies will continue to dominate the weather pattern this week, providing comfortable fishing conditions thoughout the grounds. The good weather goes hand in hand with the fishing as QCL guests continue to enjoy pretty steady action through the day. The tides are peaking early this week with a 15.7 foot swing Monday & Tuesday so the slack tide periods will be short. Chinook salmon still range widely in size with lots of 20 pounders coming to the dock, perfect fillets for the table. The Tyee Club continues to grow daily with several anglers finding those 30-pound-plus fish, often hiding along the edges of the kelp beds. Ronald Halberg boated a nice 43 pounder Friday while Chris Holman landed his second over-forty for the trip, again off the east end of Parker Point. Parker has certainly been the most productive spot over the past week, though Bird 2 hasnt been far behind. Totem House angler Rick Rowbotham has done well this weekend with 33 pounders on both Friday and Saturday; electing to release todays Tyee. Great job Rick! Over-forties came today as well with Chris Ashwell finding a 42 and 15-year-old angler Cole Guolo opting to release a beautiful big Spring which taped out to 43.7 pounds. Great job Cole and thanks for letting that big one go! Loads of Coho are out there right now, averaging 8-10 pounds so everybody is having some fun with those. Now is the time to break out those 8-weights and chase these fantastic game fish on the open salt water! Its a feeling thats just hard to beat! |
