amount of chinook and
coho on the sounders of our
charter-boats and sit on the

beach because the boat is too.

Something us Islanders
take for granted would really
be enjoyed by ‘city-dwellers.
That is the great saltchuck
angling at our doorstep off
Nanaimo. With travel costs
so high, the Nanaimo Charter
Association is offering a
practical package to enable
visitors to take advantage of
the super fishing of the
Nanaimo waterfront.

For 50 dollars per angler
you can leave your car at

i ferry; be picked up at the
on Nanaimo ferry depot by
‘- your. charter skipper; and
two hours from boarding the
ferry at Horseshoe Bay be
fishing off Nanaimo on a 24
to 31 foot cabin-cruiser.

Five hours tater the skip-
per will deliver you and your
cleaned and wrapped salmon
back to the ferry terminal at

Departure Bay. Tackles,

im need to fish are supplied.

Last week I mentioned my
“Bite Times’’, which are a
combination of the times of
the moon-sun phases and my
fishing log. These between-
dawn-and-dusk feeding areas
can be quite long in duration
(major) or shorter in dura-
tion (minors). The intensity
of the bites or feeding times
is the same.

I have also found that
these bites will work in the
dark as many experienced
through this hot dry spell.
The bites for this weck are:
Wed.: minor 5:25 am; major
11:35 a.m., minor 5:45 pm.;
major 11:55 p.m.

Thurs: major 1:00 a.m.;
minor 6:15 a.m.; major
12:30 p.m.; minor 6:40 p.m.
Fri.: minor 7:15 a.m., major
1:25 p.m.; minor 7:30 p.m.
Sat.: major 1:55 a.m.; minor
8:05 a.m.; major 2:15 p.m.,
minor 8:30 p.m.

Sun.: major 2:40 a.m.;
