2025 Port McNeill, Telegragh Cove Reports

Was in Beaver Cove and area last week there was nothing that I saw in the way of wildlife compared to last year when I counted 16 eagles a humpback and tons of herring.
 
The spawn is usually towards bever harbour but sometimes near mcneil. DFO does not monitor anymore in thar area.
 
So I finally got the boat out of the shop and up to TC and out fishing with one of my sons. It didn't take very long to find some halibut jigging off Malcolm and with our possession limit of 2 fish we didn't need to put in a whole lot of time. Lost one in the 40 lb range that would have been oversized with the new regs. Fish fry flavours this trip were halibut and black rockfish, rockfish was the winner. IMG_3174.jpeg
 
Great to see you at TC Blair and Leo, hopefully we have another productive season here .
 
Nice to see you too Ed. Looking to next be back up for June 7/8 and hopefully with both Sam and Leo (back to full crew and jig efficiency). Going to be a little bit of extra challenge for the TC folks with the big fire rebuild going on, but I'm confident in the resilience of Gordie and all the amazing folks there. They'll find a way to tie up every boat that needs a dock, run lunch and dinner service the old store building. Run the new store in the lodge, keep the bear watching and whale watching and kayaking running, all while the end of the boardwalk rebuilds. I think it'll be another fantastic season.
