Mayne island fishing

Hi all,

Sorry for only getting this out now.

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.

Hope this helps someone.
