Any recent reports from Winter Harbor?

Very little to report since back in June their Salmon season has largely been a bust.

Did a couple days solo tuna trip to Port Eliza Lodge. The weather was unreal, bluebird days and absolutely dead calm. Fishing wasn’t great, had to scratch them out. Xraps weren’t working for me, and I only had green/purple zukers, wish I had my zucchini ones too (misplaced in a move) or cedar plugs. No meat lines either. There just wasn’t a whole lot of life out there. I was out 50+ miles. Found one school and had six of my eight rods go off, landed five, that was tons of fun.
Big shout-out to Robert at Port Eliza Lodge. He couldn’t have been more helpful.

Ran down past South Brooks from winter harbor today, almost to Esperanza, about 45 miles out. Caught 3, lost 3. Nothing all morning, got almost everything stopping to fish bait on the surface.

Any recent reports from Winter Harbor?

We shot out Wednesday, three of us boats, only fished for two hours, 27 long fins in the tub. 63 degree water, we all hooked up before we had all the gear in the water. It’s hot out there.

Great report! Hoping the winds stay down next week. Plan is to leave Sunday for Winter Harbor.

 

[codfather]

We are blasting offshore from Nootka on Tuesday the 15th if anyone is interested in joining us.

I’ve spent the last few days tying up new gear and redoing some older stuff to get ready.

Any reports prior to that would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

Southern canyons lit back up the last few days. Non stop action today. Should be some great fishing for the derbies.

How far south? Like down in Nitinat and Barkley? Or Loudon as well?

Were last minute contemplating making the run to Louden tomorrow out of ukee weather looks good and may be our only shot looking at the forecast based on our size of boat.If anyone is interested in buddying up feel free to pm

Forecast is calling for 25 to 35 knot winds for Monday and Tuesday. Do you think that will be too rough to get it out off Winter Harbor?

I would say no but maybe others think differently

 

[cohochinook]

SG put me on the fish weather which has a better forecast for the wind. Have to make the final decision tomorrow on whether we're going to go or not.

Bluntly put sounds like suicide in anything less than a 40' boat and even then.....

My guide in Quatsino called anything over 15 knots too rough and I think he's right-because 15 can turn into 25 in less time than it takes to talk about it.

I’ve never done that well when it’s been choppy I’ve always thought they can’t see the lures as well from below
