yes. troll the bottom with squid hootchies and you can get bothMight make a trip up here in May or June for halibut and bottom fish. Is Cape Sutil good that time of year for springs?
Thanks
^ this but watch the weather it's a cold lonely placeGo all the way to the top of the island and fish right around Cape Sutil just do loops great easy fishing !!!! absolutely gorgeous up there !!! go a little off shore and fish the Nahwitti bar right on the bottom for salmon and hali sandy bottom and not very deep !!
fishing the bar though? seems suicidal, no?^ this but watch the weather it's a cold lonely place
If it's blowing you can still fish Duval Point I've usually done better further north toward the lodge although lots of people like to fish slow along that wall-the point closer to Hardy Bay holds Spring Salmon but sometime you end up just releasing Pinks there.
Always the best views from the Island side
When are you going? AREA 12-14 has west coast regs.Anyone have anything to report? I'm looking to make my 1st ever trip to Hardy and was hoping someone would have something to say or suggest as I will have 4 days on the water.... areas etc. Been looking at charts but 1st hand would be great. TIA
fishing the bar though? seems suicidal, no?
not in the areas where the waves are breaking !!! lol a little farther out where it is a nice sandy bottom !!! go past the breakers then drop your gear !!fishing the bar though? seems suicidal, no?
