2021 Bamfield and Barkley Sound Reports

[John s]

we got hailed on 5 times or more, sunburned, windburned, rained, snowed on, monsoons, lightning, and rainbows! herring season!!
-be nice if the ocean settled.

Nice. The weather sure doesn’t know what it wants to do. Long as we can get out and fish. , I’ll take the rain, snow, and what ever. I could use some sunshine though. Good luck out there .

Have you done any salmon fishing? Or are you planning to?

 

[John s]

Depends on the weather. If we can’t get out to anchored up. We’ll give salmon a try

 

[John s]

Pretty quiet , but it gave us time cook up some white tail burgers.

Well my son and my two granddaughters went and fished Assits this morning and the 12:30 tide change. This morning we released 4 under size springs. Had two other good hits , but they kept going this afternoon we released another 4 springs. Lots of bait in area. Everything was on a cop car skinny G, and herring aid skinny G ,7 ft leaders, behind a green onion flashers at 74 to 84feet. It turned out to be a great weekend.

 

[John s]

Nobody fishing? No reports?

 

[Old Blue]

Probably won't be many reports with everything down south closed now as of April 1st.

[Old Blue]

?? um ,, no. sea ya in barkley sound.

My intention was people fishing in 23 and 123 will not want to report as much with other areas down south having more restrictions and they will not want to draw more attention to the area

 

[John s]

Well my son and I are sitting on the hook offshore. Not to bad weather wise, a little lumpy. Trying to get the first Hali of the season.
