As we approach our final trip of the 2009 season we're looking forward to some great weather and fishing.  QCL anglers have found a good mix of Coho and Chinook salmon throughout the grounds, especially in the deeper waters slightly offshore from the traditional hotspots.  Fishing down 75 feet in 180 feet of water has been producing some good Chinook action while the Coho are found in the upper 30 feet of the same waters.  While most of the Chinooks right now are in the low 20's we're still seeing some nice Tyees at the dock.  The big fish of the trip so far hit Gerry Charette's cut plug late in the day Saturday and, after a good hard battle it came to the net and finally weighed in at 46 pounds.  The Humpback whales have been putting on quite a show this weekend, thrilling everyone with some aerial displays and lots of feeding and playing going on.
The weather is forecast to be mainly light variable winds throughout the next week with a decent chance of some sunshine every day.  Tide ranges are bumping up again to about 12 feet as we approach the full moon on Friday.
