Getting geared up for my yearly week up at Scotia Bay at the beginning of July. Anything happening up there yet?
Laffs, apparently no one fishes Port Hardy anymore; c'mon, someone give us a report! Planning a paddleing trip (this is what i say to my better half, but for me its a fishing trip) to gods pocket second week July, it'd be nice to know if the fish are in yet, and the hot spots.Getting geared up for my yearly week up at Scotia Bay at the beginning of July.

we were out at duval this morning and there were a few around. saw serengetti charters come in late with 2 nice hali and 4 springs to 35. there are fish around. also there was a 50 out of mcneill last week.I heard fishing last week that people were doing pretty well, not many details, just hitting a lot of fish.

I'm guessing you mean a 50 pound halibut, not a 50 pound spring. The Telegraph cove area used to be renowned for producing big springs in the old days. I don't think the area has produced many 50, 60, 70 pounders like they used to very often any more. Nice to hear there are still some big ones around if it was a 50 pound spring, but kind of sad if they kept one that size in my opinion.
Good job!here was our groups biggee caught by chris73...gave us a drenched fairwell as we set her free...measured 170cm

As chris73 pointed out, definitely a grind for salmon (just got back yesterday). We hit Duval, Gordons, Jeanette hard first couple days, spent a day at Cape Sutil, almost nothing to show for it....few coho, some big pinks, couple of springs - 1 nice near tyee at Jeanette...that was it and was discouraging for us, we decided to focus on bottom fish. Had to move around some to find them...our ling cod hole was pretty good...largest 30lb, halibut once we found good hole was great...the big one we released, 2 on the nose legal, 2 40's, couple others lost. Few others got nice ones 40-60lb as well in same area around Deserters.Heading up to Hardy on Sunday and then heading to Rivers for 4 or 5 days. Hope the fishing improves .....
Reports would be great if there are any ...
