Ocean Winter Springs

I was invited to go fishing with Ron Wakita and his good friend Wes Owens (Charter Boat owner) and his dog Shyla in the Kitimat Bay for ocean feeder Winter Springs (Chinook-King-Salmon) and Dungeness Crab on Friday, November 27, 2009. We fished for only 3.5 hours but we were able to land one 24-pound feeder Chinook and 17 Dungeness Crabs. We had a couple of other bits and landed a "shaker" Chinook. The winter spring was above average size, normally the feeder Chinook weigh around 8 to 15-pounds. Crabbing was excellent! We were only one Crab short of our limit of 18 (six per person)

The name of Wes' boat is "Little Kris" and is a very comfortable 30 foot Bay Liner with a 12 foot beam. Wes has fished in the Douglas Channel for almost 40 years and has owned many boats. Wes prefers to focus most of his fishing efforts on the Kitimat Harbour Fishery and knows every rock and shelf in the harbour. Wes is considered by many boaters as the "Top Charter Boat for the Kitimat Harbour Fishery".

The 24-pound feeder Spring (weighed by Wes' digital scale) was caught with a Shimano rod and reel, Gibbs UV Flasher http://www.gibbsfishing.com and purple True Roll Lure and Gamagatsu hooks http://www.rapala.ca
