Hi guys,
I'm headed over for a fish hopefully Tuesday, gonna take a buddy and his relatives from Ontario out to wet some lines. I fish sechelt side a lot but have no experience on the Nanaimo side. Can you guys help a fella out with some general areas that might fish ok for the day? Forecast seems decent for now and would really love to check out some new water if you guys would be cool having us on your side of the strait for a day! Thanks in advance.

Glad to hear someone catch a keeper,mans a nice on at that. Are you fishing 15 lb balls? I tend not to go deeper than about 200-220 as the rigger angle starts getting so shallow I don't think I could be getting much more actual depth.Started out at Grande yesterday and only managed a number of shakers. Not much for bait around. Moved to Entrance and hit one undersize. Headed to the Fingers and got a just under Chinook and a 6 pound wild Coho. Tried some jigging off Snake and got a just under Chinook and lost a nice 7 pound Coho. Went back to Entrance for one last kick at the can. Got a 22 pounder at 260 feet on Herring Aid and lost a decent fish at same depth on Splatterback Hoochie. Not red hot fishing, but a little action.
Saw a couple Orcas go by Snake with 6 whale boats chasing them.
I had 15 on one side and 20 on the other. It is tough fishing that deep and you have to be real careful as the bottom comes up quickly and you need to really make wide turns. This is the first time I fished deeper than 250. When the fish hit you have to real super fast as they swim up. It's not my favorite depth to fish at but at least there was some action.Glad to hear someone catch a keeper,mans a nice on at that. Are you fishing 15 lb balls?

That's good to hear, been tough finding keepers lately. How deep of water were you in?Got into a few keepers tonight off of Snake. Fortunately for the rest of you we didn't manage to land any, so good luck. Anchovies at 120 feet were working.
Fishing tight to the lee side of the reef on the flood.That's good to hear, been tough finding keepers lately. How deep of water were you in?
