Hi I'm new to the forum I recently moved to the Powell river area and as we are getting settled in my thoughts are naturally turning to fishing. I am based out of saltery bay and have found it hard to get much information on the area. It seems most folks around Powell river fish out in front / coho point / grants reef etc. it isn't practical for me to run up that far in my little boat I think black point would be my outer limit for distance. We have pretty limited gear and no electronics here and I will have to be mooching, jigging or fishing plugs etc tyee pool style. I will mostly be fishing with my boys who are 5 and 3 so I imagine we will spend a lot of time harassing lingcod and just fish salmon on the tide changes or first light/ last light.
I am very experienced on the west coast and Campbell river fisheries so I have a good handle on the basics although the lack of riggers and electronics will make it more challenging. What I'm hoping to find out are a few general areas, the time of year, and what the normal baitfish would be. I don't need to steal any secrets that would be plenty of info to get me started. Thanks in advance.
