Are those yellow eye rockfish?

I doubt it as they are closed. Those are Vermillion Rockfish.

Tastiest one in the sea!
Fished last weekend on Big Bank - Rat Nose for two days after retention of chinook has opened. Good fishing.
Day1: limited out on chinook for our group in 1.5 hours, got 4 halibut and 2 lings by bottom jigging. Day2: lots of action, but 90% of them shakers. Long day. Got a few descent size chinook. Fished at 150-170 ft, white hoochies and anchovies were productive.

Monday was at Outside South Bank to Turtle head. Nothing but a few shakers. Tried Alley Rock and Great Bear and got into a Coho. Went to Big Bank for first time Tuesday. Me and 3 family friends. Almost limited out on Halibut, Chinook, Hachery Coho. Needed 1 more of each. There was a 2 hr period when it was non stop Coho. We couldn't get the down riggers past 60 ft before a Coho would pop the clip.
Pic of lure we used at about 150ft for Chinook. Coho were any where from the surface to 120 ft. Drifted for Hali with blinking squid with salmon belly.

Fished the Big Bank Monday and Tuesday. Weather was glorious with calm seas. Got our possession limit for 3 persons of under 80 cm Chinooks, hatchery Cohos, and Halibut under 90 cm. Only exception was a 25 lber from the Little Beach tack on our 2nd day on the way in to upgrade one 11 lb bleeder. Had to weed thru a ton of 5-10 lb Chinooks and wild Cohos as well as a hand full of over 80 cm Chinooks. Had best success on cuttlefish hootchies in glow green and UV as well as the brown turd. Depths were all over the place with several around 90-100 feet as well as deeper, like 150-170 ft.

Heading over Friday to fish for the weekend . Liking the reports im reading
Took some friends and their 2 kids (10 and 14) out yesterday for a couple hours at slack high. Did a loop past the light house and little beach. Got the kids into 7 fish but only 2 were small keeper Chinook. Stopped to jig on the North West side of George Fraser and picked up some nice size Black Rockfish. Jigging for rock fish seems to always get the young ones happy with the non-stop action. Everyone had a great time and the best fish sticks for dinner.
Got another couple friends coming in today. Probably take them over to the Bamfield side of the sound to see if we can get into some bigger fish.
It's only been a week as "acting fishing guide" for different groups of my friends. It's a lot of work. Hats off to all you Professional Guides that do this every day.

I’m thinking about going the 2-8th of August when we are in Tofino, slim chance as we’ll have enough fishing to do but if it looks flat calm….

White hootchy with green on it. I may of misidentified it. I can stop giving fishing reports if it bothers you.

I think he is referring to a "green spackle back" hootchie. When in "glow pattern" a very deadly tool.
