2025 Port McNeill, Telegragh Cove Reports

[Macdeep]

Outfront of Naka Creek was the place to be up that way..all the way down to Deepwater Bay/separation head

That’s a decent run down Johnson cheers

 

[Capt_Ed]

Still lots of Sox around TC and more coming , top end of Malcolm was good today so we should get a few more days to get a few as long as you dont mind weeding thru the pinks

 

[Macdeep]

Ya the pinks were thick today from ledge to lady Ellen. A couple wild coho and one suspect but unlikely “not a pink” that I was hoping was a sock.

Will have to get to the backside or down Johnstone next time

 

[Eden Island]

Got into a nice bite at the afternoon tide change -- near the mouth of Fife. 90 minutes - 6 coho on - kept 2 wild, released 3 and 1 released itself at the boat. 1 took the bait right at the transom, Bonus 12 lb white spring. All on anchovy 40-60 feet.

We used to fish Double Bay for Sox when ever they were open. Springs at Malcolm in the morning. Sox in the afternoon.

 

[Eden Island]

Another coho bite - an 8 and a 10#, released a 7# coho and a spring about the same. Near the bottom of Fife.

Edit: should have mentioned that these fish were all caught with 2 active birdballs within 100 yards, as many as 4 humpbacks in sight, and one repeatedly surfacing 15-20 yards away. Worth the price of admission.

 

[Eden Island]

2 coho in less than 15 minutes at the mouth of Wells this morning -- being already limited on wild coho, we released them, then quit and turned our attention to halibut. We found them, but unfortunately all 5 were infants - less than a pound. Returned to the mouth of Fife for the afternoon tide change and trolled up a mate to the white spring we caught the other day -11 pounds instead of 12.

Need to head for Hardy Buoys tomorrow to offload fish. May stay on the Malcolm Island side to try for sockeye.
