Barclay Sound 1st week of June

[Stosh]

I'm planning on fishing Barclay Sound June 4-6th. I've never been up there this early. What's the fishing like?

Pretty good. Thats my favorite time to go actually. The weather can be a crap shoot though. Chovies are king

Should be hot with yankee hatches.

I used to go in late June for the better tasting springers but, the water can be a problem that time of year if you intend to go out to the banks. Water starts to get much nicer from July. By the second week, the biggies are starting to come in also. We stay at Island West Resort at Ucluelet because they have a freezer space you can rent. Keeps you catch frozen til time to go home.

Great time of year.

Hiroshi - you have to rent freezer space? Even though you are a guest?

hmmm

If you stay at Mills we have a walk in freezer for your catch - included!! Can't believe you'd have to rent space for your fish!!

Cheeeeeezzzyyyyyyy.

Osama and all,

Thanks for all the info. When I say Barclay, I do mean inside the Sound. 2 of the boats going up with me are under 19ft. so we'd not be going off shore. Is it still a great time of year if we only fish inside. My usual spots inside are Swale, Harbor Entrance, Sanford, Ed King, Beal.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Roger that!! Don't forget to dump the gear down deep - bait tends to be small and deep that time of year.

Last year at that time we got our fish between 140-160 feet on bait and uv purple apex's!!!

 

[Stosh]

Where are you fishing that deep inside the sound?

 

[JAC]

near Poett Nook. We also fish that depth offshore!!

Needlefish squirt near bottom S Bank all day long.

120-140 ft at Pill Point in early June was great last year.
