eveningbite, I saw you running up the channel this weekend. I live in between Turn Island and Brown Island. I wondered who had that boat. I saw you a couple of times this winter coming in from Salmon Bank to. Pretty sure anyway, its a pretty distinctive boat. Big Rock area can be a sweet spot. I like it in the winter. Havent been fishing it much this summer though. I released an upper 20's native up the beach closer to the entrance to Fishermans during the Roche Derby this year. Bummer, but glad to have had the fight. If I see you I will definately say hello. And yes I agree with your assessment. The islands are a great place to test your skills.
