Just back from three solid days of fishing and I hate too say it but was probably the worst salmon fishing in years! We fished from Beano to lighthouse for the last three days and only hooked a couple of shakers. Hardly seen any fish caught at all. Then finally tried coopte, hoisin and camel yesterday and also nothing. Spend hours trying for halibut out past Beano nothing. Really disappointing as it was the first major trip for my kids 10,12,15 and 16 and nothing much. We probably fished 14 hrs a day so put in our time. Just so you know I am not new at this and limited out last week for three guys two days in a row. So there are starting to be a few fish inside seen some caught. The whole outside entrance was dead. I mean seeing 30 boats at monument and one or two fish caught. 15 boats at Beano and no fish caught that I seen. Did not salmon fish offshore as big engine not trolling well and too waves for my kicker. Sorry for the dismal post but I just want everyone to pray for some rain maybe bring the fish in. I hope it picks up soon.
Like I posted a couple days ago, the entrance was dead for us and inner entrance just inside last years boundary to the Saveedra's was on fire for us last year. There are fish inside now though and the flood tides are not producing in the traditional fishy areas by the light, monument etc. My very unscientific prediction is that a greater percentage than normal must be coming in Esperanza and down Tahsis inlet rather than rounding the lighthouse.
