Hey Sculpin

I get asked that alot , I live here in Vancouver , don't have much time to guide , Just PLAY out there way too much , wonder why you ask ? , I've seen your posts , you have a nice rig yourself , seen you sleigh them last season , South Bank if I remember correctly, with your son i believe,

as far as the comment about " Day's of our lives " not sure what ya meant , all and all most of us get along here , A rant here and there is expected , lol , all good , don't take it personally , seen your Uki thread , don't think he was attacking your report , questioning the fishery is all i think ,

Rocky Point Charters

Tight lines everyone....MM

Thanks again Jeff, Sheldon and Wendy

Hopefully heading over to Bamfield this weekend. Any Salmon reports?

Springs showing this week at Meares, Whistle Buoy and Kirby.

Haven't been fishing them at all, but thats the reports.[8D]

Bottomfishing excellent.

Gimee the gaff!!!

Salmon fishing is definately NOT on fire. There are some nice fish around though. As good as last year was at this time. Got three nice springs near Kirby Point on Tuesday morning, 120 ft. deep, army truck hootchie.
There are some Halibut and bottom fish in close as well.

Fished last weekend out front of the cabin (Uchuckleshet Inlet) - boys picked out the lure - orange and yellow coyote spoon with silver back - didn't think anything would happen.....
13 lb spring that my son brought in. That lure caught 2 other small keepers in Rainy Bay as well - weird colors.
Let me know if any of you try those colors and get success.

Hey searun the resort looks great, I stayed there last year during the derby on richard spencers boat. looks like you guys have done alot of work to her. Sorry for not asking to tie up there but we were in a jam.



Cheers,
Jeremy

 

[searun]

No worries Bacon, main thing is we want guys who use the dock to make sure it is left clean and of course we don't have guests when we are using the cabin. For the most part guys have been very good about keeping the place clean and not damaging anything which is great. We have a lot more work to do to the dock and cabin, so it will look a lot better in a month when we are done.

[bacon]

right on, I live in PA and can always lend a hand if you guys need it. Its funny how I always talk to people at the ramp and then later find out that I talk to them all the time on here and had no clue it was them. I'm the guy usually in the 14 foot older red lund aluminum with a windshield with a 25hp newer merc on the back. I'm one the water at least a couple times a week or more. If any of you guys see me say hi!



Cheers,
Jeremy

 

[searun]

Thanks, will do...I'm in the monster Grady White eating about 4 x as much fuel as your boat stopping at every tree buying carbon credits.

Hot Hot Hot!

Limits of springs in short order each day, limits of halibut yesterday for both of our boats, the only day we could really get out to do it. Wind has been a bit ruthless to say the least.

I even saw some forum members and even a lurker out there hitting the salmon hard this morning.

Official 'start' to the season as we begin to see the faces of the regulars on our dock, it's going to be great.

Fish from Pill to Ship, Meares and Whistle Buoy. Some large ones as well. I killed nothing over 15lbs but several other boats did. Tons of bait showing now so as long as that holds...

Damned commercial trollers anyway...

Gimee the gaff!!!

[Jencourt]

That is an encouraging report Jeff.Yes I do hope it holds. My nephews from the interior seen my pics from our trip and well you know what came next.
we will be out June 4-6th.
maybe see ya out there.


No place I would rather be (FISH ON)

X2 Jeff
Into the double digits in a couple of hours today ourselves. Most were 8 - 12 but up to 18 pounds for our group. This is inside fishing about 5 minutes from our dock. The fish are not just in one place but scattered all over the sound.
Whistle Bouy, Kirby, Mearse , Austin all great spots.
Can't imagine what it would have been like this weekend if the commercial boats didn't clean them all up.

Had a great weekend. Did not fish today as I had to be back. Saturday got out in the am and only picked up 2 but nice size ones an 18 and 20. Wind kept us off the water in the pm.

Sunday got a couple more along with 15 pound hali. Most of the fish were stuffed with needle fish.

Most of the fish were hatchery. Sending in the heads. I supect I'll be thanking Charlie's tax dollars for these Salmon.

Wish I had more time!

 

[Business Time]

Whistle Buoy was good this weekend for us. Biggest was 15 lbs. Also picked up a few small Hali there too.

Thanks Jeff for the tip to get us rolling!
