2025 Port Alberni and Alberni Inlet Reports

I had a fun morning with my good buddy Franjo. We had such a great time. The smoke from the fire was on the water the closer we got to Mctush. Otherwise it seemed pretty good. I hooked up on the first fish at 7am, we lost a few that popped the clips but didn't stick. At around 10am Fanjo hooked into a nice one about 20 lbs on a custom spoon I did up for him for a boat warming gift for his new boat. He has a nice Thunder Jet.

It was an amazing day to be on the water. Something that truly reminded me of why I do what do. Passion truly drives me.

Good to see you got out of the shop for fun day!
 
We fished Wednesday and Thursday. Not hot and heavy but averaged a fish per hour. Biggest was maybe 15. All between China Creek and Lone Tree. All on anchovy. Yellow teaser head seemed to perform the best. Caught 4 sockeye as well. They are quite ugly right now. Released them of course.
 
Won’t be long
When the commercial boats start coming around

Talked to a 1st nations yesterday at the alberni commercial dock, they get a crack at them on Monday, and he said non indigenous get their opening on Tues,
He said non indigenous went 1st last opening.
We bonked a few 12-15lbers last evening and again this morning in around cous and lone tree.
Heard most are 3yr old returning this yr
Windy here now!!!

Nice to hear the derby gets to first, usually the other way around if I’m not mistaken.

Edited to add…oh never mind, derby probably still on on monday
