Forgive me I'm a NOOBIE!!
We are staying in Campbell River for 2.5 weeks late July early August. I have huge learning curve as I fish mostly walleye in Ont.
I'm looking to draw on the knowledge of the forum to point us to 'as calm as possible' waters for salmon, halibut, ling cod, rock fish etc.. fishing. We are considering hiring an experienced guide(30 years) from Port Alice and fishing inside and outside if possible. I'm bringing wife and child and I'm the least seaworthy of the bunch!
Nootka seems more developed, more resorts, more boats than Quatsino...is this true ?
Are Nootka and Quatsino equal quality fisheries ? I have been reading this forum and it seems they both do well at times.
The day, July 27th, we have tenatively picked for Quatsino(leaving dock at 5:30am) out of PA has a low tide of 1.6' at 7am and high of 10.2' at 1:30pm, is this a sufficient or good flooding tide to fish or is outgoing better ? I'm trying to put the odds in our favour as much as possible
We are not looking for HUGE fish, just something to keep us occupied for 7-8 hours before the winds pick up.
Forgive my ignorance if this post is misplaced.
Any help is greatly Appreciated!!
