Fishing report for May 2014 from Nootka Marine Adventures
Salt Water
Fishing remains excellent from the light house at Friendly Cove to Maquinna Point, also Burdwood,
Escalante and when the weather permits Bajo Reef, with most of the Chinooks that we are catching
in the 12 to 20 pound range. A good percentage of them are clipped fish migrating south to Washington
and Oregon.
We are still using a combination of needle fish hootchies, four inch spoons and flasher with anchovies
mimicking the small needle fish they are primarily feeding on. We have been locating fish from 40 feet
in the mornings, down to 120 feet later in the afternoons. Find the bait balls and run your gear 10 to 20
feet above them.
Coho are starting to show up in solid numbers and are taking the same gear as the Chinook
and are found most consistently in the 45 to 65 foot range.
Bottom fishing opportunities remain strong with lots of good ling cod, yellow eye, and halibut coming
into the docks on daily basis. Most anglers have been bottom bouncing with larger baits and jigs,
(as well as sitting on the anchor just of areas with some structure waiting for fish to come to them well
searching for food).
Glow needle fish, and army truck cuttle fish hootchies, as well as the four inch cop car and live image
spoons all trolled behind flashers have been the hot ticket tackle choice for our guides the last couple
weeks. Anchovies with a six foot leader always a good bet as well. Try whole or cut plug herring ten feet
off the bottom when doing the slow troll for bottom fish.
Prawning and crabbing opportunities remain good all throughout Nootka Sound and Moutcha Bay.
