June 2014 Fishing Report
For Nootka Sound
Salt Water
June fishing remains outstanding with limits of Chinook 18 to 25 pounds, and smaller Coho 5 to 7 pounds, hitting our docks every day. If the forecasters are correct fishing should remain excellent throughout the rest of our season both on the inside and outside waters from here on out. Bottom fishing has also been on fire, with chicken Halibut in the 25 to 45 pound range seemingly everywhere outside of Maquinna point and out on the reef.
Popular areas continue to produce, with Wash rock, Maquinna point, and Beno Creek continuing to be the hot spots. There is bait everywhere including inshore where it is legal this season to retain four wild or hatchery clipped Coho per day.
Springs on the outside remain deeper in the (55 to 85 foot range), Coho are anywhere from 25 to 85 feet on random feeding programs. We are encountering belly’s full of squid and needle fish inboth species of salmon, so we have been sticking to small baits and glow hootchies. Lots of adipose clipped Chinook are showing up on the dock thanks to the great hatchery programsefforts south of us in the US.
A combination of Flasher and straight white or glow white needle fish hootchies, and or anchovy and flasher are still producing the best for salmon, however some spoons and plugs are starting to work as well. Try the Tomic 5” inch 602, or the new CRVP # 294 For spoons, go with the 4” inch Coyote Watermelon, or the Live Image.
Halibut, Lingcod, and Yellow Eye fishing has been very good 3 to 4 miles off of Burdwood to Escalante. Jigging, drifting, or trolling just off the bottom with cut plug herring has been producing steady numbers and varieties of bottom fish. Just this past week our fish processing facility cut and vacuum packed a 130 pound halibut harvested on sport caught quota, along with 3 other fish over 50 pounds.
Tight Lines, Good Luck, and Safe Fishing
