2017 Bamfield and Barkley Sound Reports

[Sea.P.P.]

Don't give up yet some nice fishing right now. Everyone catching fish mostly coho but some nice shiney springs. Saw a very nice 19 pound coho this am. Bait mostly not crowded people actually talking on the radio tell you how deep where they are and what they are using. No more are you fishing north of yesterday morning using the secret spoon we talked about at 2 pm just friendlys

much better after the long weekend googan show....

some boat named reef walker was tied up different times day and night at the grappler loading zone.. so nice when picking and dropping people with all there *****.. grrrrr
if that boat is doing the same thing next year it will get the alu love it deserves. i even tried talking to them reasonably about it... was still there at my 1;30 a.m. pick up time.

LOADING ZONE !!!!!

back at it monday!!

coho fishing was very good at pill/link island over the weekend got a couple small springs too

Fished Thursday to Sunday. Slow for us on Thursday and Friday(I expected it due to the full moon and weather change)...pretty steady action during and after the rain on Saturday. Did the "troll fast down the middle of the channel thing" and put 2 coho and 3 springs in the box during the flood Saturday. Got a nice spring(about 20 lbs) early a.m Sunday by Danvers, and a couple nice coho out in the middle across from Aguilar. Purple haze flasher and teaser with anchovies was the best combo. Heard a white hootchie was working well for some of the guys we talked to, so good action for them over by Robbers at the tide changes.

We had success at 35 - 40 ft when it was cloudy, I bumped down to 51 - 55 ft when the sun came out.

What a beauty day.

Some BIG boats coming in from off shore that were in the Tuna derby..we didnt wet a line but still managed to come home with a fresh tuna.(big thanks to one of the boats taking part)

[ExFlyGuy]

Tough weekend for us fishing wise this weekend but can't complain about how nice it was for the end of sept!
We went 1 for 2 on the troll with a eight pound coho in the box. We also got one keeper ling and sent back a couple undersized. A couple of bigger fish on the bottom broke us off so we'll never know what could have been!

We saw a black bear swimming across grappler inlet and some whales breaching in the sound.

Already looking forward to next year!
