The way things are shaping up might be dicey even making it out there this summer. Man that would suck big time. Not sure I could handle missing another year. Its going to be a stellar year for Chinook this year too, this is the year to be out there. But it will be what it will be.
In the mean time I’ll just continue to live vicariously through you guys. Keep the pics coming please and enjoy boys.

I just offered to fix the dock at mills landing. I noticed a loose board from my couch. Made sure they were ok with me bringing some tools and a bag of screws.

Going to Bamfield for the first time this summer, August 19-22 can’t wait staying at McKay lodge. Just a question what is the prawning like that time of year is it worth it to bring the traps to soak without having to run far outside the sound? Thanks for any advice

I personally wouldn’t. it will have been smashed hard by the time you arrive and you’re in the absolute prime week of salmon fishing there. focus your time and effort on the silver fish amigo

i say bring em, not too many people continue to prawn after june... you will get some.
I’m always a bit apprehensive leaving traps unattended during the busy times out there. It’s one extra thing I don’t want to have on my mind while fishing.

I’d bring them. With the restrictions, the prawns won’t be hit as hard as they usually are. I’ve haven’t lost any traps to someone stealing them. I have lost a set to the log booms. My fault
And ya might get to play with the slime eels. 
Anyways good luck.

Road is as good as it gets!! Use some caution as there are constant logging trucks and road crews.

Took the family out to the sound this weekend and stayed on the boat to get away. Took a couple lings home and a few black bass. Released a pile more bottom fish. So much fun in shallow water on light gear (25-50'). Salmon fishing was slow hooked one or two at each location and kept one around 60 cm that was our biggest. Fished harbour entrance, swale, Kirby, diplock and Vernon bay.
