Thanks for the reply.
Firelight, Jake, and I are heading up tomorrow morning early. Unfortunately the weather looks less than stellar. Tuna is off the agenda this trip. We are going to bring some traps and mess around on the inside this time. Always looking forward to the annual WH trip! It going to be fun and nice to get some R&R .

Heading to WH on Monday-anything new?? any reports of coho above Cliffe.. Looking for any reports good or bad thanks!
thank you for the info Spring FeverI came out Saturday and could find nothing off-shore--good fishing at cliffe point 35 to 70 on the riggers -smaller baits and lures in the 3.5 range. Coyotes and such, Ccar, irish cream; grand slam bucktail, jughead needle fish, AP needle fish. Look for jumpers on the way down--coho should be in any day. Good luck
Heard rumors that the coho have started to show up in the sound in some numbers. Heading out there tomorrow evening (Rupert Arm). Will post an update if I get some service.Any recent news out of WH--want to go Friday. Thanks?
I would really appreciate that as I have to make a decision.Heard rumors that the coho have started to show up in the sound in some numbers. Heading out there tomorrow evening (Rupert Arm). Will post an update if I get some service.
Not a problem. If they are there and you do come up. Pop down the inlet. I'll be in the 14ft lifetimer with the yammi. I'll even be nice enough to throw a couple of my secret weapons you're way. I make the's lures that those tight lipped river bound coho can't resist. Be sure to bring a light rod preferably loaded with 15-20lb braid as they are light and the braid casts about 50% farther than mono equivalent.I would really appreciate that as I have to make a decision.
I'd like that!! My rods already loaded with braid and am trying some of those Shimano flat fall jigs for a start. Are you hearing stephens creek fish are in or all the way to the Mahatta?Not a problem. If they are there and you do come up. Pop down the inlet. I'll be in the 14ft lifetimer with the yammi.

Keep me in mind--pm if you want.I highly doubt Stephen ck are in yet. They're usually 1st week of sept. I may run out that way tomorrow to take a look.
yep moored at Port Hardy till they kick me out and I start meandering home...thought I recognized your boat !!!! good on ya for getting up there - sure has been a great boat for you.Late report - we fished up at Winter Harbor August 4-12. Mostly tough fishing, only caught 2 coho, both outside and wild so no keeper coho. On the plus side, we did ok on Chinook, at least a couple nice 20+ fish a day and a couple smaller ones. Best weather we have ever had, covered the water from the RCA all the way down to Brooks Peninsula, but nothing ever got "hot". Spent almost every morning early at Cliff point and caught a nice fish each day over there before we wandered out. Lost a nice one and all my terminal gear to a seal. Best lure was a long (5"? hootchie) in motor oil color, followed by green and glo coyote and cop car coho killer. Bait didn't do too much.
It was a weird year, normally we have two boats and crew but this year only one. Harder to prospect and figure things out.
Jim, do you have your big boat up there?
Good luck to all.
Anything showing for coho at Coal harbour and down the inlet towards Cliffe??
