Just got back from 3.5. Days in Ukee and I’m glad we went. First day was slow at Mara, great bear and cree. The next two days were on fire at long beach for us where we got our limits on mid to high teens nooks and our Hali. Last 1/2 day was spent looking for a few more hoes. Nothing but springs at chrow, beg, alley, sail and cree. Our go to’s were Skinny G’s (Irish cream and no bananas)
Kevin hooked us up with Moorage at community dock, Ukee seafood did an amazing job on our fish and Capn hook gave me an amazing deal on two admunson rods and reels after my MR3 and Technica slid out of rod holder and sank in front of my eyes.
Can’t wait to be back at the end of August!! Absolutely beauty out there!!!

Thanks for the report. Where did you lose your rod and how deep? Might take a good freediving buddy out there next week or in a couple of weeks, if it’s bright red an under 100 feet he might be able to grab it.Just got back from 3.5.

Well that would be amazing but I think it’s around 100’…. I have the exact coordinates on my boat, it’s just south of great bear. I will go have a look and let you know. Thx

Thursday... banner day, nothing Big Beach to Wya, went offshore and everything got hammered chinook/coho/hali.
Still small spoons but the bait is slowly growing from what I checked in the stomachs. Didn't matter what flashers, all colours uv/glow or not. Fish size was consistently good, fished down to 88 on the riggers. Even hali on the troll at that depth. Away from the pack. Just go explore and find a zone you like.

How far offshore are you talking about?

Heading to Ukee in just under a week. Had a great trip out there last season and pretty excited to see the size is up across the board this year. We did really well with springs, coho and cod but could use a point in the right direction for halibut if anyone wants to exchange some information. Picked up a couple but it was a grind. Still lots for me to learn when it comes to them. PM's are welcomed if you'd rather keep it off the board. Happy to share where and what has been working for us.
Here's some of our footage from last year!

Maybe you’re thinking of island west resort. They have a launch, marina and campground….

How's everyone making out? My partner is out there right now enjoying some really solid fishing. I'm heading out tomorrow to join him for the week.
Looking forward to getting in on the action. Will report back after a day or 2.

We got here yesterday with my wife and daughter, snuck in an afternoon fish in the fog, bonked 3 springs by big beach and released a hand full of wild ho’s. Cleaning tables are packed with fish, guys going a few miles out are doing very well

Was there from the 6-10. Staying at Barkley sound lodge. Fished salmon at red can, Mara and cree. Ended up fishing mostly at Mara as there was always fish there. Coho showed up the last 2 days and we limited on those as well. Lots of nice hatch coho on the outside and even bonked a few good one on the inside. 6 hali landed on amphatrite bank. Heard the long liners had set some gear in there a few days previous and cleaned it out. Bunch of vermillion and black bombers. No legal ling. Average spring was probably 17 lbs. couple bigger. Couple smaller. At least the fishing was good cause that lodge is somewhere I’d never go back to.
