So many seiners !

Steve hoped to get some more chums for smoking. It was a lovely calm day and the second of a two day opening for the seiners. There was a tight congregation of these big boys in front of Kanish Bay. It was interesting to watch them work and more interesting to see how they moved around searching for schools to set around as the currents changed.

This boat is close to full up, riding down to the scuppers. That is a massive amount of salmon on board.

Six lovely chums worthy of their trade name " Silver Brights " .

Chum trollers

Shamra and I took advantage of the beautiful weather on her day off to go out and catch a few chums for pickling. Two commercial trollers were working the same area.

chums for chums

Chums for chums, and a bonus coho. Calven, Rich, Rob and Mike. Good times.
These fellows got together and drove up island a few hours to get to Campbell River and we left the dock at 8:30 am. The fish were biting off and on , as chums do, and when it as on, it was really on. Two cohos also grabbed on, one of which was a hatchery marked coho that they could keep. In the afternoon they were back in the car heading home. A good fun day.

Doug and Cathy at Denham Bay

How's this for a honeymoon get away ! Doug and Cathy stayed a week at Denham Bay Resort at the end of Seprember, with a few days fishing and exploring, and some crabbing, too. Congratulations again, you two.

Denham Bay Resort is a unique facility in which you bring your own food and cook in the open air kitchen. You can travel easily from Campbell River by water taxi and bring what you need with you. Hosts Pete and Sarah provide wonderful cabins and have taken care of the details. The location is right on Denham Bay, a very well known salmon fishing location, about an hour and a half travel by boat from Campbell River. http://www.denhambay.com/
