Farny....nice to see you have made it over here from SFBC (assuming it IS the same Farny).

I don't have any experience locally but if you do a search (top right corner) through the salt forum there has been mention of it by a particular member(s)....I just don't remember who? It also "may" have been discussed over at SFBC as well.....I know it was one of these two forums.

I know the area mentioned was out off of Ambleside and the Cap; I just can't recall if it was "still good" or it "was good" in days of "yester-year".

Finding any herring, let alone jigging them for bait is a thing of the past in local waters...Might be different a little farther north, but the loss of the herring was also the demise of the inner gulf Island salmon fishery.........Ortho 8)

Maybe the fish will be "fighting" to get one of the last few herring in local waters and you will have great success??? I guess it could never hurt to try?

I've seen lots of bait boils on the surface between the markers off Jericho/SB.
Don't know what they are, but have been tempted to drop a herring jig over and see what came up.
