Not much open until mid July. I'd think you'd want to go out to the cape caution area. I always do really well out that way later in the summer

 

[Samnjoe]

Wondering if there is any talk of changes up on the north end?

14 springs that had to be released? Port McNeill diesel mechanic says they are doing very well up near Cape Sutil where springs can be kept.

Was up there on June 1, bait was small and fish were around. Not the fastest fishing I’ve ever seen there but by no means slow

Just got home from a 4 day trip. Ran up to Sutil last Friday and Saturday. Did great on springs. Green/white glo hootchie, coho killer spoons, and brown turd hootchie right off the bottom. This one fish had one of the fullest stomachs I’ve ever seen. Fished Duval, on Father’s Day, hoping for a coho bite. But hooked and released 10 springs, in an hour. A couple double headers too. Great first trip to this area. We’ll be back!!

We did Sutil Saturday and offshore. Salmon was slow but we picked up a bunch of low teens. Focused on Halibut and we did well. Biggest was 58 and limit of smaller ones. Nice weather. With effort we did well for crew of 4.

 

[Samnjoe]

Just driving back now from a week in Hardy. Lots of fat springs 12 to 20 pounds. Pretty easy lings as well. Sad to see Scotia Bay is closed. Spent a lot of time there over the years. Back up to Winter Harbor in 3 weeks.

A mix of squid, needle fish, and small herring in their bellies. Caught everything on small spoons.

Ill be sniffing around North Island again this weekend, not sure if I will cross to the mainland, depends on forecast. If i can get a good drift ill drop the jigs but the tides and wind will factor on that... will report findings.
