Haven't been out yet but will be over around Porlier/Active in a couple weeks and will drop a line. Not expecting too much but I haven't really fished the gulf islands in the winter so any advice is welcomed.
 
my buddy was out at porlier pass maybe 5 days ago and caught 6 pritty nice winter chinoks
not sure wat he was using and how deep but know we no there out there
 
Good to hear there are some winter springs around porlier. I'll be fishing around galiano in a couple days and will report if I hook into anything. anyone else been out lately in that area?

What size?
 
Fished east side of Galiano for a couple hrs yesterday and hooked one 8 lber that I bonked. That was the only bite I got other than a few ling and rockfish as I was keeping close to bottom. Hooked the spring on a flasher hoochie. Crabbing has been good and gonna set some prawn traps today
 
Last year I had some amazing fishing around christmas and new years around porlier area. Anyone planning any trips in the area soon?
 
I will be over at galiano over new years for 3 days and will most likely make at least one trip up to porlier. Will also probably fish Salamanca one day. Would appreciate any recent reports from either area... even though I'll be heading out regardless :)
 
Fished around Salamanca Pt Galiano Island yesterday afternoon for a couple hrs and picked up a nice 10lber right at low slack on a glow coho killer dragging bottom. One other boat out there said they boated 2 around same size.
 
Nice one 44! Those winter spring sure are good eating. I'll be out there in the next week at some point so hopefully there are some around. You tried bait or mostly sticking with hardware? .
