Headed out to the Nootka Lighthouse today. Had a double header of Coho within 5 minutes of putting the lines down. All action today on Franko Bullet Rotators (Anchovy Teaser heads) behind green stripe flashers.

We ended up with 6 Coho and one small 50 cm Chinook, and two small Lingcod. We also released about 4 smaller Coho.

All action was from about 7 AM to 11 AM.

We ran up to San Carlos Point and trolled the area down to Beer Can Bay, with only a big dogfish for our effort.

Headed home early and had dinner - hope to be in Esperanza Inlet on Saturday morning.

See you all on the water.

Booked a campsite in Moutcha Bay for Aug 4-6. My boat is only suitable for the inside. Would love to pay for bait and more than my share of fuel if anyone is looking for an offshore halibut partner one morning. I can hold my own with a deck brush and filet knife and have my own gear. A charter is probably out of my price range.
 
Isl fish lifter, full moon BAD!!!!!!!!

The best thing you can do is be in the water first light or before. The salmon will be fedding thru the night so you have an hour or so first light. You have a 15:26 high tide so that could work out to be the best chance until the last hour of light. The salmon will be feeding on squid thru the night so try and copy that pattern.

Good luck!
 
I heading there today, I may stop in for lunch and meet you Holmes. Thanks for all the reports. Is it blowing southeast today?

I will be heading to Critter in alittle over a week and I have heard of this fishing highway. Does anyone know what the fishing is like out that way? How far offshore do I need to go? I have a 21 foot Trophy and if the weather is good is this boat ok to head out there? Also should I bring my Crab and Prawn traps out that way?


Thanks
JAC
 
JAC,

Keep an eye on the weather, get back inside early. have seen very few days its good to be outside in a 21 foot boat (same as me) much past 1. 12-1 is kind of my pull-er-up time (noon when I have the family with me). Will be up at Critter the 14th through the 18th with the family. I am sure the weather reports will be available, but caution is needed outside.

The highway is the 250 foot line... some like 300, some like 250... you will get out past the red can marking the outside of Bajo reef, and just keep going a while. There will be other boats out there, but dont think you need to be near them... I usually start a mile or so away from the boats (just for courtesy to others), and its just AWSOME to be out there. If you arent catching fish, drop the lines down deeper until you start hooking up. with the southerly wind, you can usually troll north, with the kicker barely going, and have the wind at your back, making for a good troll.

See you all in 7 days! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Thanks IF lifter, good luck with your first charter and looking forward to your report. I'm heading up next Thursday to Tahsis, can't wait to wet the lines out there.[:p]
 
Just got back, many coho, minimal springs. The highway seems to be the place to get springs. We got an 88 lb hali too. Body count: limit of coho (many times over), two springs high teens, one hali.
