We were out to the long beach 'bank' yesterday. It was slow for us.
Moved out to the SW corner and picked up 3 Chinook to 15 and 2 coho

Fished Wya on Monday clouds of bait in tight and non stop spring action , lots of small ones but got our limit of nice sized keepers. Went back Tuesday , very little bait and no fish around. Moved straight out offshore about 6 miles and caught springs and halibut

How's everyone making out? Heading to Ukee on Sunday for a week. Will update as we can as I'm sure we'll bouncing around a bit.

Hearing the same thing from a friend who has been out there all week. Fish are around but the size is not there with the springs just yet. The charters are definitely hammering some nice ones off shore.
Should start seeing some nice sized springs roll in any day now. I'm headed over tomorrow for a week and will update as I can.

Was out front between Blackrock and Red Can early this morning for a couple hrs in the swell. A bit further out in 130 to 150 ft of water. Beautiful full moon while setting up but seemed not so good for the bite. Not even a sniff for us. Lots of boats out but didn't see any action. Hope the bite came on for those who stuck it out.

Very good action this morning right out front. Over 10 good bites in about 2 hrs - landed 6 which ranged in size from 10lb (a feeder) to touching 20lb. Bait was hot. Anchovy in bloody nose teaser. In about 150 of water. No bait to really note of and nothing in stomachs other than maybe some small sandlance or similar.

Ucluelet is hopping with people despite limited reports. Forrest Gump rain sent me home a day early. There are springs everywhere, but lots of people are finding success at Wya.
I got all mine inside due to wind on Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursday I went back to Meares, released a pile of coho, lost a few decent chinooks, shook a few smalls then hit Sail Rock on the way back. Game on in 120 fow 85 -95 down on the open ocean side of the rock. O11r hoochie with silver mylar beat the spoon. Lots of coho there too, especially out deeper. 50ft.

Fished out of Ukee 9-14. Big Bank was the ticket and Swale at afternoon High tide for large Chinook. So many chunky Coho offshore. Spoons and weeG did well all Over. Cop car hit and run with blue flasher crushed it. Small Anchovy with red Flasher did well inside. Offshore if you want limits.
Pretty nasty seas out there this morning so we headed over by crow and foods. Picked up a couple twin teens. All portioned out for the freezer and scraped enough off the carcus for a couple good size salmon burgers. Can't believe I used to feed the crabs all that burger meat. Got them on cop car Wee G and Skinny G in Herring Aid pattern.

A fun day out of Ukee fishing solo. Big swell pushing 3m first light from the northwest opposite the SE wind. Eased over the day.
Water is chocolate. It seemed like the fish didn’t fight as hard, maybe because of that? Might be imagining.
I only fish one rod when solo, all at 65’ and swap between three lures/baits: white hootchie, spoon, herring in teaser. Avoids bottom, successful enough, and works with my limited brainpower.
Report: started at Little Beach first light running blue herring. Two lunkers right to the boat and threw the hook. I was pretty erratic trying to net in the swells, though. Trolled with swells toward Alley/Great Bear. Switched to hootchie and bagged a teener spring. Then a big wild coho. Switched to spoon and hit a high teen spring and another wild coho. Ten minutes later another high teen spring and I decided to stop bothering the fish and head home.

Yeah, I have a 6’ gaff onboard and use it quite a bit. It avoids the ‘net spook’.
I enjoy solo with the single rod. When there’s a hit, I mark it on the sounder, put the engine in neutral, then head to the fighting station. Simple. Not always great for fishing the tight spots with the fleet, though. Best is a long downwind troll reading a book without a care in the world and hitting a pocket of smileys in a place nobody else ever fishes.
