Aug. 16th Gabriola/Nanaimo
<p>Try Rhys Davis tiny strip in green/chartreuse, Coyotes in Army Truck or black/white, or hoochies in Tiger Prawn or green spackleback at 85 to 180 feet. The high tide change is fishing better than the low, lately. These chinook fight extraodinarily hard, and are blood red fleshed.
Ling fishing is good off Thrasher Reef. Try large jigs in 30 to 120 feet of water for best results.
Prawning is okay off the
Flat Tops. Try 350 feet with tuna cat food as bait, and expect 50 to 60 per trap.
Good fishing!
