Lake, Ocean & River Fishing: Connor Sabo Fishing Reports for April 6, 2017 at 11:01am Now that spring has officially sprung and the temperatures rising means we’ve reached the end of winter. It was a long and cold season but now the grass is growing and the bears are hungry and starting to wake up. It’s a great time to get out and enjoy the fresh spring air, We decided to go North to the Kincolith in the Nass Valley. Knowing that the Eulachon were busying spawning in the Nass River and the herring spawning right in front of the Village we knew that there would be a lot of action going on so Out come the halibut rods and crab traps! When we Arrived at 8:30 the water was like glass and the sun was just coming over the mountains, it was perfect. The crab traps were baited and set and off we went to anchor out in front of the Village with spectacular views. Right away the Black cod were already biting our jigs baited with salmon. They kept the action going by noon we had our limit of cod but no halibut yet. One other boat was anchored beside us and they had a bit better luck hooking 2 halibut and landing 1. Finally Nearing the end of the day after what we think were many good halibut bites we finally hooked one and brought it to the surface. The halibut was about 15 pounds or so, small but we were not skunked! We pulled our anchor and went to pull our crab traps, We filled our limit of crab and then some so we were able to pick and choose the bigger ones! All and all it was was an awesome day to get out on the water. Some of the gear I used today was my Jet boat built by “Fish-rite” and engine made by “Yamaha”. My choice of tackle was a Mudraker Jig, Rod and Reel was a “Rapala RSC series rod” and a “Penn 330GTi graphite reel” Also I held my Salmon Belly strips that I used for bait in my “Bait2go” bait holding system which is great for space and convenience!
