Spent the May long weekend on Mayne island and was able to get out for one short kayak session. There were plenty of decent rockfish around once I found the right pieces of structure. I caught them on 5" swimbaits (basspro sassy sally in frost or Houdini colours)and 1onz jig heads. I fished depths from 30-60 ft so the fish went back down easily. Also lucked a 75cm lingcod on 10lb braid. It followed the lure to the surface and took it at the last second- what a fight. Marked what I thought were salmon on the sounder, but could not get any bites on jigs. Think I am going to have to figure out how to mouch with live bait as the baitfish were quite small.
Fished for the shore with my dad and we caught quite a few small rockfish. We used grubs and small swimbaits to catch then.
