Not much wind today, but bigger seas. We were in 2meter swells most of the day, but the wind stayed down. Fished big bank again and produced as usual. Easy limits of Hali's & Springs, but only managed one hatchery coho.

Big Bank continues to ROCK - loads of Hungry feeder springs into the twenties, with the odd Biggie around. Rat's Nose and the Shallows both producing machine-gun Fast! Halibut are consistent and reasonably quick out there as well.
Inshore is a tad slower, but appears to have a higher proportion of somewhat larger fish.
Reports from up-Island suggest a wave of Biggies will soon be appearing in the Tofino / Ukee areas. Suspect these 30+ sized returners will likely wander through close to the beach, but at this point that is still anybody's guess. We'll of course be on the prowl for them, and word will get out quick once they show...
Back in Port for the night, then running back to Ukee tomorrow. Drop by the boat and say Hi if you get the chance Casper!
Tight Lines!!

Is that correct...Do you have lat and long to put in my gps or a rough idea where on big bank to go IE far southerly side of the bank or easterly or troll from east to west...Just asking..tks in advance

was up from the 2nd - 6th. fishing was amazing. lots of cohos in the 8 - 10 lbs range at 35 - 50 feet. Also nailed a 42 inch ling which tasted excellent. Used white hootchies and green back hootchies with short leaders. Just prior to fishing there, got our limit of hali out at SE corner of south bank in an hour. Trolled from rats nose back to Ukkee and nailed a few coho but have not been into the springs yet. Guess I have to try and figure out where this big bank is so I can join in on the action. Missed out on the tyee's last year, dont want to do the same this year.

Thanks. Big Bank approx 25 miles offshore it's quite large, some days it's the inside edge and if the fish are small then a run to the outside edge can turn up some bigger fish. Bigger fish 90 - 120 ft lots of feeders on the bottom 200 - 220 ft. Most boats seem to be like a flock of pigeons the majority of the time I don't see anyone all day other than when we leave the mouth of the harbor.

Thanks Discus.
I have a Wall Of Death well arranged inside the cuddy. And there are indeed a few coho killers amongst that. Of late, the best performance has been coming from Tomic 5 & 6" painted herring spoons. Others are enjoying great success with hootchies, but most of my Ladz prefer to fight the fish and not the blades. No pilchards yet this season, to that arsenal still remains packed. Still hoping they come on, but at this point it looks rather dismal for them...
Trophywife: The Big Bank is pretty loaded up with good sized feeders (up to 20+). The odd Biggie out there, but you have to wade through a pile of fish to find them. Closer in has been tougher fishing, but those you do find are often of the larger variety.
Headed back out today and Looking Forward!
Stop by for a BS if you're in the neighborhood...
Cheers,

Ucluelet Fishing Report - From Big Bear Salmon Charters
Hello everyone!
We've been having a great, busy season here in Ucluelet!
So far, August has given us tons of action, with some ridiculously calm, glassy days on the water. We're catching tons of Chinook, with some Coho and Hali keeping us busy as well.
We're loving the newest addition to our fleet - this beautiful Weldcraft 300 Cuddy King!
We've still got some availability for the remainder of August and into September. We've also got some special deals going on... involving the gorgeous brand new hotel Whiskey Landing Lodge that's just opened up in our building. Call us for more information and to book!
