Gulf Islands 2014 Reports

Same here Canso...I havent heard those names in a looonngg time.

x3....used to be able to catch fish from the rocks on east point.

I have tried the odd day down there in the past 4-5 years when staying on Saturna or Mayne and think I have one coho to show for it.

In saying that, I am sure there are fish going by there....the "when" is the big question.
 
Fished porlier and salamanca saturday and picked up a few beauty fish just shy of 20# on UV white and green splatter hootchy. Went out to salamanca for the low tide yesterday afternoon and decided I was going to fish 4 lines all CJ specials. Had 2 lines down and had a huge hit before setting up the other lines. Incredible fight 22#. Then another 14# and 16# all @ 122ft on 3 and 4 inch CJ specials. One was a hatch red that was one of the deepest red coloured flesh Ive seen. The 14# and 22# were marbled. Great afternoon on the water.

Very nice fourtyfour!!!

Had one of those extremely deep red coloured ones at the Grande on Friday; said as I was fileting I haven't seen one that deeply coloured in a long time. Flavour was unreal!
 
Fortyfour... At Salamanca, are you in tight or way out?

fished collision today got 1 undersize and one good hit at 87 ft.We also seen an eagle today swimming to shore the dam thing had a salmon so big it could not fly but would not let it go eagle finally made it to shore with the salmon. Tried to go out to salamanca and it was just nasty so i bailed out. but i had a buddy who waited another 20 min he got out there at 1;30 and got a 16lber in 10 minutes. I shoulda waited it out.try again on saturday.

Fished Thrasher yesterday evening for 3 hours. Bite came on at 7pm and lasted about an hour. The fish were in close to the reef in about 400' of water, east of the marker.

Three hits, landed two, an 8lb and an 11lb both hatchery. All hits were at 125ft, irish cream spoon, trolling with the current.
 
A beauty indeed.
