Brad,
You caught a 10# salmon? Man, in two trips to Vancouver Island
I spent probably over $40.00 for licenses and caught a single
rock cod or greenling, I don't remember now. It was tasty, but
not worth the money.

How did you catch the crab? You ventured North from Telegraph Cove,
care to share your route? Did you make it to Mamalilacula?

Would this have been Blackney Passage? It has a route between the
larger island and a very small island that keeps you out of the main
channel? On our trip up there we were coming back through Blackney
Passage, if I have the name right, and just before entering a large
swell came out of nowhere. The swell picked us up and then put us
back down. It was very unsettling to say the least, it even cause
our guides to look around with semi-startled expressions.
No large ships had recently gone by, but we wondered if it was caused
by one of the cruise ships that would slow down by the orca sanctuary.

Maybe next summer...........

Brian.
