Whats the latest from the sound and offshore? thinking of cancelling port alberni this weekend and heading out to Bamfield...

 

[Deejray]

At alberni now and no ones getting anything here. Only fish are being taken out towards bamfield.

Cheers

Was camping with the fam last weekend at pachena bay. Did lake cow/franklin in and alberni out. Lake cow route was good. Like fd advised, the first 12km (last 12 for us out) from alberni was no good...made us wish we went out the way we came.

[Klob]

Any word on how the prawning has been?

Wondering if its worth bringing a couple of traps over.

I got back from Bamfield yesterday. It was slow with tons of undersize fish. Fished pretty hard for 3 days Ship, produced a nice 26lber, and there was some action around Kirby with a million boats there as well. Also fished Austin, Cree and tried the wall a bit. Overall pretty slow though. The water is a nice poo colour. Oh yeah, after just one soak we pulled up two prawn!

You can always scratch up a few bugs.

Just returned from Bamfield. Was unable to go off shore the last few days as I had some friends aboard that failed to have their sea legs. It was rough every where. Fished Cree, Mears, Kirby and Austin. Lots of small fish we put back. Only kept the bleeders and two that were 15 and 21pds. Fish caught on white hootchies and UV lures. Had to work to find the bigger ones and witnessed lots of boats at the dock that had no fish. Not the stellar year yet that was predicted.

what the hell is going on with the gov dock? tried to tie up to go to the store last weekend and the dock was packed with big commercial boats, no room to tie up.

 

[Filet Show]

I noticed a lot of commercial activity around the government dock last week too as the gill net opening ramped up. Must be the sockeye activity causing this.

Motored around from Victoria last Friday. One of the better trips in the past several years. Light wind at our backs from the ESE most of the trip made the going easy. No swell at all until we passed Carmanah and with the wind, it was at our back quarter most of the way to Beale.

Ended up with a 20 and 18 on Friday and Saturday with lots of action in the 8-12 pound range. We were finding that the Coho Killer was doing well for us.

Tried heading offshore Saturday to 7 mile, but nothing but an empty wallet to show for it. Most of our fish were inshore sticking close to the points in 50-80ft.

Algae bloom had us running in coffee coloured water even as far out as 7 mile. Our dock neighbours ventured out to Rat's Nose on Saturday and noted that the seas were very rough. 2.5hours to get there, and not a fish to show for the effort.

Was at Seabeam from the 22nd to the 30th so a little late for this report. But as most people have been saying it was slow. We did catch a couple of nice fish but there were some very slow days in there. Caught a 25 off of Cape Beale with my two boys one day and another 24 and a 14 at Bordelais Islets another day with a couple of buddys. Lost another VERY nice fish right at the back of the boat with the buddys that same day.It was a solid 20+ pounder as well. Oh yeah, had one afternoon of 6 smaller springs off the wall with the buddys as well. Fished all over the place. Tried 5-7 mile, quiet out there, 2 smaller springs, tried meares, cree, austin, I think 1 fish and 1 good hit. Tried Pill one morning, 1 coho, back to the wall for 1 more coho. Jigged here and there for a few bottom fish. Foggy days, wet days, a few nice days, standard stuff I guess.
