Has anybody been/fished/heard of guys fishing these way off shore places? I was just looking around at my chart software and there seems to me just hundreds of prime looking structure out off shore, you can see some of the places i just put a mark over, which are only an extra 1 or 2 hours past swiftsure tops. i know these are eye popping off shore for most guys here on the westcoast, but the guys out east are doing 100+ miles so there definitely reachable and im sure hold fish....
Actually, I pretty much draw the line at about 50NM offshore unless I have a very good reason, but my insurance is good to 125NM!
Yes, there and you can catch fish at the location you have marked “fish 1”, but the one you marked “fish 3” is usually better. You have a “No Halibut or Bottom Fish” area you need to be aware of, check the regulations - it is at: N48 28.389 W125 01.760, N48 34.036 W125 17.405, N48 15.260 W125 41.072, N48 28.350 W125 01.712. Watch for that as I have seen many "aircraft" in that area!
I am not sure exactly what you are asking, or want to know? The areas you marked are mostly “very” well known “sport fishing” areas and I and a lot of others have/do fish on a regular basis! I expect to see boats in those areas whenever and everytime I am in those spots!
Are you looking farther offshore, then those you have marked?
Hmmm. if so, Yes, there are more areas farther out, but based on boat and experience - I would NOT recomment most venture out that far, unless you truely do have an "offshore" boat and the experience to go along with it! It is awfully loanly out there!
Here let me help you out on some of the more popular and well known "sport" spots!
Let the commercial, and ture experienced "offshore" boats go out farther. I can guarentee you, when you are there and **** turns bad, you need a good boat and the experience to go with it!
Just, IMHO!
