Shark Cannonballs is pleased to welcome Chad Deschamps from Revelstoke British Columbia to the Shark Pro Staff Team.  "The river here is travelling at 18 mph with the flow.  I found even with the current and the water levels anywhere from 25-57' i worked the cannon balls to see how they tracked in the current.. They stayed true. Lastly .. Yesterday was a successful day on the river using sharks on the rigger and on the surface .. I caught 4 bull trout ranging from 12-18 lbs on the sharks and lymans. Here is a photo of one of the beauties i caught in a 45' pool with the shark at 35' Best Regards Chad Deschamps

Regards, Steve Subject: Re: Today's Fishing South Coast Chapter Members, As promised, I went fishing today. Ran out of the Winchester Bay around 7:30 AM and went North to set crab traps. We started fishing around 100 foot depth and had two double releases, which ended up as one small Coho to the boat and released. We moved out to 250 feet of depth and caught two Mackerel, that was a first. Ran down to the Whistler and trolled at various depths. Marked some fish at 25 feet and brought one of the downriggers to the appropriate depth and nailed our first keeper Coho. Although we trolled at various depths, what worked best ...
