2021 Nanaimo Reports
- Thread starter SFBC
- Start date
Was at Thrasher yesterday, one over slot and about 4 just under. All on 6 inch white/glow G Force spoons. And not one tiny dink.
Can anyone share the link that says no slot tomorrow, all I can find is what says open till aug31.
thanks

l be out tomorrow hitting the fingers jigging or with plugs and if that doesn't work trolling the bottom in 140' of water between Piper's and Clark Rock. Hope you are able to get the big catch today!
Good luck to you as well. I'll report either way; just heading out pretty quick here.

Out yesterday (Friday) afternoon/evening with my son-in-law. Seemed a little slow around Five Fingers so moved to Entrance. After a dogfish and a few unders, we hooked a nice 20 lb chinook in 250 ft of water (270 on the rigger, 30 to 35 degree angle). You do the math! Anyway, where are the coho? Would appreciate any thoughts on locations, depths, etc in the Nanaimo area.
Absolutely not. My second skunk of the year, and I spent considerably longer than 3.5 hours. Hopefully the rain didn't make them all swim away... unless I suppose you're one of the fishers waiting for them elsewhere.

What boat are you in? Ya this time of the year when you get those first rains late season it can completely move all the fish out, that’s what looks like happened. Tons of bait at entrance but nothing but dogs and half eaten shakers lol. We finally got a low teener over by the fingers down 185, only had one other undersized chin on in 6 hours.
18' campion... which doesn't narrow it down much. Yammy power, which also doesn't help. I'll agree with your assessment about the rain, cause that's been my experience too. I have 2 sets of out of town guests I was going to take out the next 2 nights. Going to need a lot of luck to get them into a fish I think.
Also new here, first summer fishing this area. I’ve noticed considerably fewer boats out the last week and a half, and fewer fish marked. Having said that I picked up 2 small keepers, one thurs and one Friday. Both were more or less the only hits I had each night

I would keep going until the weather is nasty. I managed springs until the middle of September last year. Got them near Neck Point.

Give me a call if you want to come to town and head up the sound for a day of winter fun. It scratches the itch.
