2010 Summer Fishing Report Fishing 2 hours before the low water slack with hootchies and coyote spoons have been working well in Army Truck, Blood/Bones, Green/White. It pays to mix up the colours and find the hot colour for the day. Of course you are not giving your all, if you are not trolling bait. With all the new head teaser colours you can mix colours with your bait as well. You may find that as the water gets murky, you will probably do better with dull or darker colours other than bright greens. Don't for get your flasher, line colour and leader length has a lot to do with your success as well. A lot of the fish hold from 60' -100', and you will find fish deeper but a good starting point is from 80' -120'. Then look for bait balls and move your lures to that level. Fish a little higher in the evenings between 40'- 80'. At this time of year fish can be holding or travelling in 30-50ft of water so when you check your line it's a good practice to pop it off the downrigger clip and let it float up to the surface. This will change the action of your lure and allow you to fish a variety of depth all the way to the surface. Vary the time you check your bait. It is also very important to clean the jelly fish off your line and flashers, and make sure that you give them wipe. It doesn't hurt once in awhile to give them a soak with warm soapy water.

If you are not able to venture that far then Delta Rock just south of Vancouver Bay should also be very productive.
Crabbing has picked uplook to 50-120ft off Davis Bay for some nice big
keepers. Prawning will improve as the little guys grow fast, so look to
the 270ft - 300ft as a starting point. Please check the areas you are
prawning in, there have been closures in winters past and they may be
in place now. Clams - prior to harvesting clams always check to make sure you are not digging when there is a PSP Closure by checking out DFO's Fishery Notice on PSP levels at: DFO Red Tide Closures for area 16 or call (604) 666-2828. To view DFO Management Area maps
in order to ensure you know where the boundaries are for various areas or sub-areas
