Codville Lagoon and Abandoned Cove

June 20th

After pulling up our prawn traps and getting only 1 keeper crab, we headed north to Codville Lagoon to hunt for Salmon.

We did some sightseeing along the way and scoped out the possibilities of fishing spots.

We arrived in the evening and put 4 prawn traps and 4 crab traps. We really didn't have time to do much fishing this evening so we stayed on board and played cinch and had some cocktails. Tomorrow we'll head off to Abandoned Cove to get serious about Salmon fishing.

Abandoned Cove was great fishing ... for me, anyway! Our lines went into the water at 12:30 and I caught my first Spring at 12:40! To be honest, it was on Pete's pole, but he handed it over and I wasn't going to argue!

Altogether I managed to net a 12-pound Spring and a 7-pound Ling. Looks bigger than 12 pounds, don't you think?

Nobody else got any keepers, and the guide boats we could see weren't getting any nets out either. I felt very luck to get what I did!

Tomorrow we'll head up to Rait Narrows and see if we have any better luck.
