Very slow for salmon because we can't keep Chinooks out on the banks where they are this time of yearNot many Tofino reports, how come? Wondering how the fishing is right now?
Congrats on your winner!Spent last couple of days fishing inside around Tofino, several springs per day.
Hootchies were the most productive, even though the main bait we found in fish were very small baitfish. Some had squid in them.
Today was a pretty good day with a Tyee to the boat, some coho, 2 Halibut (bigger one at 36lbs) and a good ling as well as HUGE Starry Flounder caught on a Buzz Bomb (That was a surprise).
Pretty humble post they're bud. Your emphesis is on the flounder. What Shane didn't mention was the tyee we caught early Sunday morning put us in the lead at the Tofino Salt Water Classic for both spring and coho categories. We had to wait nervously for 8 hours that a bigger one wouldn't come in. White glow hootchie on the bottom was the ticket for both fish. Our 31.2 lb spring and a 11.8 coho took both 1st place finishes.Spent last couple of days fishing inside around Tofino, several springs per day.

When I was over 2 years ago, they were hitting small 2.5 inch spoons. I was using the smallest herring aid. It got us our biggest fish of the trip a 25 pound spring. Fished naked 10 feet above and 20 feet back of flasher combo. Crazy sometimes what works!For salmon, lately, small spoons & Coho killers working best for me & friends.
Thanks!Long Beach produced these last night, 3.5 inch nickel / green Coyote spoons 60 inches behind hot spot Green Stryper flashers between 67 and 77 feet deep. View attachment 46429
Thanks for clarifying that, lots of people claiming the ‘buffer zone/beach’ as fair game.Just remember that Long Beach is in the offshore zone that’s restricted to max 80 cm and hatchery coho only
The Surfline is and has been wide open all year for us so that where we have been fishing.Thanks for clarifying that, lots of people claiming the ‘buffer zone/beach’ as fair game.
