July 19th (Scotch Bonnet) & 26th (Ducks), 2025 weekends

[RC36]

Friday 18th at Scotch Bonnet:

Fished  9am to 1pm, slow... 1 salmon, with  6 lines (rigger, divers, boards).   Back into Wellington for lunch for the 4  of us.

Then 3 to 7pm:  better results with 5 for 7 hook ups (total approx 85 lbs for the day) with largest being a 27 lbs salmon to the boat, all released.

 

Next day, Saturday 19th:   same set up and areas,  4 for 8 to the boat, largest being 20 lbs. (total 50 lbs) .  6am to 1:30pm.   

 

Fun 24 hours out at the Bonnet near Wellington.

---------------

This past Saturday,  slow going out to Duck Islands due to fog at 6:30am.  Thick fog lasted over an hour.    Thank goodness for radar.

Finally got out there and we chased Lakers, and brought 5 to the boat in  3 hours.   

Unfortunately,  slow ride home, because a sensor problem stopped one engine from restarting.   So 3.5 hrs to limp back.     But it was scenic !!
