Went up there for a day trip (motels were all full) with friend's family. We went to Halfmoon Bay to pick a few oysters and dig some clams. We drove by Trout Lake and saw it loaded with swimmers, no fishermen around (of course). We arrived at this little bay in between private properties and found the abundance of oysters.
We picked like 5 each, took some pictures and left for Davis Bay. The beach at Davis Bay was spectacular! The gorgeous weather is making it a must-visit for people planning for a short trip.
The return tickets to Horseshoe bay were reserved for 9:40pm. After dinner at a Thai Restaurant in Gibsons, we had two hours to spare, so we decided to do a little fishing at the pier near Langdale terminal. That was a nice pier that extended near 80m out, and the water was about 40m deep at the pier at high tide. We fished bottom with sliced of Anchovies
, and right after the bait hit the bottom, the line got tightened up and the rod tip of my ultra light spinmatic was showing true Samba like in the summer Carnival.
I pulled it back in (not really a fight) and found an English sole of about 1 1/2 lbs at the end of my line. Three more casts later we pulled another 3 more of those in decent size. We stopped fishing only afte a group of elementry school student along with their summer school teachers, started diving and swimming at the pier where the sign of no diving and swimming was shown (good example, teachers
) . In an hour of fishing we landed a total of 8 Soles (4 released), 2 bullheads (all released) and 2 burbots (released). Also saw some coho jumping there and we casted spoons to the school but no taker. Heard the return to the Hatchery has been great in recent years.
