The Coho have arrived! They are flooding into the Juan De Fuca Strait in great numbers and there are some hogs out there. This big stud smashed a 3” Herring Spoon I’m Lucky Charm (green and gold), was unclipped and off he went powerfully with big tail full of water to the face! #keepemwet #apherringspoon #cohosalmon #aptackleworks @aptackleworks

Popped over to Lopez Island for a visit with our first dealer in the San Juan Islands! Islands Marine Center is all stocked up! #lopezisland #fishing #pnw #aptackleworks @aptackleworks

Whipped up a couple fancy 7” spoons for today’s fishing partners. Even threw some colour on the hooks! @nicefish66 @cameronyak #aptackleworks @aptackleworks #fishingbc

That was quick! #firstpass

Wakey Wakey, rise and shine! #dawnpatrol #tgif

Anyone else have a great long weekend of fishing?! Spoonscription paying off for Chris and Noah with this 23lb hatchery chinook on a 4” Anchovy Spoon in Lemon Lime. Some great fish coming in off the Victoria Waterfront. . . #spoonscription #takeakidfishing #apanchovyspoon #fishingvancouverisland #fishingvictoria #explorebc #fishinglife #chinook @aptackleworks

It doesn’t get much better than a great day on the water with your kids. Unless of course you sweep the local derby with dad taking the win and daughter taking home the under 12 category! And, all for a great cause too. Both caught on their trusty 4” Sandlance Cop Car 🚓! Nicely done Derek and fam! 👊👍 . . . #takeakidfishing #familyfishing #westcoastculture #fishing #powellriver

Miki’s current tip for southern Vancouver Island is to match the small 3-4” herring that are around! We passed this bait ball today in Oak Bay enroute from Pender Island to Esquimalt, BC and stopped to check it out. . . . #matchthehatch #apherringspoon #hopetobefishingthursday #herring @aptackleworks #aptackleworks #mikiblue

Despite an abundance of Chinook in BC right now, the unfounded, politically motivated, decision making by the DFO has crippled the BC fishing industry. Recent chinook regulations and the uncertainty created, meant most of our tackle shop partners in BC were forced to tell us “sorry, we can’t take any product this season until we know if we’ll be fishing”, and for good reason; most shops have experienced dismal tackle sales and are suffering, which leaves no budget available to spend. The result is that many racks stocking our gear in BC are almost scraped clean! Thankfully there are a few ways to get our gear: -Call up your local tackle shop and place a custom order -Order online! We ship anywhere (free in North America for orders $150 CAD or more) and also offer FREE LOCAL PICKUP in Victoria, BC -Call us; we love chatting and take phone or text orders: 250-818-8145 -Last but not least...come see us! We love visitors to the workshop! . . . #dfo @jonathanwnv #smallbusinesskillers #scienceoverpolitics #fishingbc #fishinglife #aptackleworks @aptackleworks
