    LOTS of bait inside but you have to search for it as it's moving everyday, find the bait and you'll find springs and coho. One day last week we were literally at the harbour mouth and nailing them. Banks have been off and on so chat with folks at the docks as the close banks seem to be on one day, off the next. Seems to be an awful lot of tiny 6-8 pound ping pong paddle butts on South Bank and Lighthouse this year. Lots of coho out there as well in 20-60 feet mostly full of krill. A shallow rod with a trimmed pink sockeye squirt was very effective on the coho. Big needlefish on the banks so stack a couple needlefish hoochies.

    Headed back Sunday till ?. I know most of the Ukee spots, but am unclear on how far offshore people are fishing when they refer to fishing "Long Beach" and "Portland Pt", respectively. Any help?

    For Portland Pt. - People are usually around 3-4 miles offshore in 120-150' of water. There's several small humps out there. Long beach is the same general gig just a little bit south. Right now, anchovies or a needle fish imitator is the way to go. Find an place where you can follow a reasonably level contour and drop the down rigger until it hits bottom. Then bring it up 5-10'.

    Poke your head into Pioneer Boat Works, you can get chart locations for all the offshore fishing areas from a marked up chart they have on their chart table.

    I've got a charter booked with Ironnoggin for July 13-14th, hoping some of the bigger boys are around by then! I can't wait it has been near five years since I had a chance to fish the chuck! Counting down the days! Love all the reports...
