I have some friends on the lower mainland about to tie the knot, and both want to go fishing for halibut and cod on their honeymoon. They are both avid outdoors people and both are competent fishers in rivers and lakes. She got her first buck this past season as well. They asked me for a good location that they would be reasonably sure of getting halibut and cod. They are not keen on salmon, but admit it would be a bonus. Apparently they are prepared to pospone their wedding untill the fishing is good.
So they asked me where to go. I, who have never caught a halibut, am in no position to offer any first hand advice, but I did say I would try to find out for them.
They have no boat suitable for this type of fishing so they will need to charter. It sounds like they want to go to the west coast of the island and as long as it is accessable by road they would get there. Of course they would require accommodation as well, but apparently not a lodge.
I mentioned Thasis, Gold River and Winter Harbour, and that was fine with them. I have no experience with any of these locations, the accommodations or the charters that run out of them and am really hoping I might get some recommendations from those on this forum that have. Thanks.
