Fish the the trough off Entrance Island betwee Gabriola and the two reefs just to the north in 220-240 feet of water scraping the bottom for bigger springs, we got our first light bite limits off 6 inch 500 plugs, fishing up high will yield coho, pinks and sockeye. We tried for sox this morning after getting a limit of springs but only managed to find pinks and wild coho, but did talk to guys at the dock who were into a few at first light. Steady stream of fish going by at 80 -100 feet all morning. There will be boats out there so just get in line and follow the herd. I find the flood/slack tide best but it was an ebb today and still pretty consistent.View attachment 119763

No lucky for me, but the whales seem to have been tipped off by this post as they too put in an appearance. Thanks again for the spot.

Anyone focusing on sockeye at all? I am thinking it might be worth it too try this week. Lot of fish heading down inside right now. We sort of have an advantage here not as many pinks plugged up like JDF right now.
