Headed out on Friday & trolled around Kirby Point and beyond. We saw a bunch of bait around 150 ft, (we fished between 80-120) but after trolling for about 4 hours (using anchovy & coyote spoons) - not a bite. Nice to be out, but sure would've been nice to find some fish. There was one other boat in the area, and they said they hadn't got anything either.

Anyone been out lately?
Heading down to the cabin on friday for a few days so will have a report early next week.

The five and seven mile banks are loaded with fish. Winds kept us at Kirby yesterday morning and we hooked 6 springs from 7 - 13 pounds. Got a couple at Mearse this morning.

Thanks for the great report. Are these mostly the American hatch jobs?

That's all there is now until DFO gets their act together

 

[Islandgirl]

There used to be some nice colored maps available for various areas..
With DFO's new site this is the only thing I can find for salmon regs in area 23/123

Is anyone able to provide a link to the colored maps they used to produce?

Mostly, God bless America.

Islandgirl I have been looking for them as well, I have laminated last years if you want to borrow them and make a copy.

They wher4e talking about revising Coho/Chinook regs (IE timing in some areas.) Have not checked to see if it is done yet but that could delay them posting the map ????

I found the chinook 2012/2013 one online. The coho one is not out yet, there is no retention until June 01 sot it does not matter for us this trip. Thanks for the offer though.

Nice Bod! I was at Kirby last week and couldn't get a hit - just wondering how deep you were fishing & what you were using?
yup the usual questions from a guy who seems to be a slow learner (but at least I admit right

 

[Bod]

This time of the year I just chase the the feed. 157 ft. was the best depth for me Monday. Kirby, or anywhere on the inside is not on fire by any means but that is where the wind made us fish. The Banks are where I'll be the next 4 days weather permitting.

Great reports all nice to see the fishing season coming on strong. Good luck to all you anglers this May Long Weekend hope to see some great pictures and reports posted at the end of it all.

A new wave of nice sized fish showing up in the Tofino area, along the 20 fathom edge....should be hitting Ukee as well. Mostly upper teens/lower 20's. Went 5/8 on half day trip Friday. Go get 'em boys!

 

[uclueletcharters]

Thanks Fishtofino for the Tofino tip, for anyone in the Ucluelet area those mid teens are being caught inside south and outside south bank 3 - 7 miles out one after another.

 

[Aces]

Still good out there. Went 9 for 17 with a boat load of rookies in not perfect wind/sea conditions.

 

[Sculpin]

That's a great day Shawn!!! Thanks for the reports buddy.
