From what I heard the river got a big run this year.Was there ever much of a coho run inside the Sound this year?
Fished Trevor Channel last weekend, hoping for coho, without success.Was there ever much of a coho run inside the Sound this year?
Hi, new member here. Testing to make sure my posts will show up. Thanks
No bananas. Your screen may just look black because you forgot to turn brightness up before turning everything off after running home in the darkThey don't appear to be showing up. Maybe something is wonky? Check voltage and look for bananas onboard.
Okay thanks, this is awesome information. I briefly fished Kirby this past summer and could be back again in July. I have fished socks in Renfrew outside around 600' deep in the big return years. Maybe Fraser socks can be targeted outside Bamfield if there's a big return this summer? The Fraser socks would be later.In early? July, we have done really well for Sockeye off Kirby Point on the incoming. If you fish the 130' contour line it seems to be all Coho, but if you go inside a bit, between the 65' and 94' line on the charts, and fish with the tide, we've found lots of Sockey as they swing around the point on the tide. We have seen lots of what appeared to be Springs deep too, but have never been able to get through the Coho to get to them. It's only been on the incoming though. They seem to disapear once the tide stops running. Black hooks, Pink and Black Michael Bait, Krippled K's, MP15's, Halloween Coyote with yellow stripe, all have been good. Look for fish finning inside on the start of the tide as you pull up. Easy place to fish. jc Tuna Maru
Yes I did derby, was about 8lb wild. Fella at the dock pulled it out of the tub to show us and said they got another the night before.did you see the steelhead first hand? just curious ?
Happy New Year! I think targeting Frazer fish off Bamfield would really be tough. You would need to know where the 'school' was and when. Otherwise, it would be just a shot in the dark. We are fishing on committed fish off KIrby and farther up the Inlet. I think if you look at any area where there are broad currents wrapping around or sweeping by structure, you will find them. Turn the 'Tides and Currents' add on on your mapping program and where you see the current 'arrows' could be places to concentrate. Typically you will have 500,000 to 1,000,000+ Socs moving through Barkley late June and July, probably on the South side, toward Alberni Inlet. I think one of the problems is that there are so many Springs, Coho, Halibut, and Bottom fish available as well. If we really want to concentrate on Sockeye, it easy just to run up to Pocahontas and they are stacked there. What a magic place Barkley is. jc Tuna MaruOkay thanks, this is awesome information.

I caught a 8-10lb steelhead trolling near the wall a couple summers back in a major rainstorm. Was a strange sight to see at the side of the boat.Interesting.. thank u
