2025 Nanaimo Reports

[JWS]

Jigged just outside of Silva bay tonight. One hit that didn’t make it to the surface. Beauty night, though. Nice to sit there in silence and watch and listen to the humpbacks out in the middle of the straight.

Been having great luck with white/pink glow hoochies down deep, chartreuse flasher or blue. Was lucky enough to get a 78 cm Sunday and an 80 cm Monday, coho up high with no bananas and Irish cream spoons

 

[Blue Hewes]

Picked up a 67cm spring (marble) and a hatch coho last night off the fingers. Both on a cop car skinny g. Spring was at 150 and coho was at 75. Released several wild coho with only the 1 hatchery fish. My hatch to wild ratios have not been very good so far this year.

Fished Thrasher yesterday. Lots of action but all was wild coho and shakers. Got home empty handed. 0 action for Lings also not even small ones.

Had a productive beauty evening at Entrance. Got our 3 keeper springs at 170' biggest was a fat 76". Also released an over and kept one hatch coho. Somehow, despite being surrounded by seals none of them got ahold of our fish, though I did horse the over in and have no idea how it didn't end up being a rock sausage sandwich.
Back home before sunset.

What did you get your springs on?
