2020 Gulf Island Reports

[Rip Point]

Where had you been fishing Rip Point? And how good is good

Only really fish salamanca or inside the pass

 

[Pursuit]

Fished Salamanca over the tide change today and it was non stop on shakers Also released a ling. Shakers really liked green flashers trailing a white hootchie or AP herring spoon. Nothing liked my favourite plug. Between 50’ and 80’ on the down rigger. One other troller ( doing the shaker thing too) and a couple of rock fish jiggers. Beautiful day on the water with a great view of Mount Baker.

What kind of depth are you at? Enjoy the fishing, I haven't had much luck at Tent this year!

174 on the rigger but had a 10lb ball on and she was at like 75degrees lok

Nice, thanks for the info - I will try to translate that into 12 pound balls and braid! Maybe 150 or so, I'll try her out this week.

Ohhhh thanks! Where do you find these maps?

In the salmon section under "related links" there are the Coho and Chinook management maps.

If you scroll down to the restrictions section they list some coordinates as well. As usual, it's super poorly laid out and hard to follow the regulations.

Thx SK it’s very confusing and the Cowichan run is healthy. Chemainus not so much.

 

[Slammin' Salmon]

Tried a couple hours at Porlier today - lots of little shakers. Check your lines often! No keepers.
