Bamfield Poett Nook Reports Spring/Summer 2012

[TenMile]

I got a last minute call and headed over to Bamfield on Friday. Fished Friday night, Saturday and Sunday morning and we did very well. We both limited on springs all in the low teens and picked up a 25lb Halibut off the bottom. Saturday went out to Turtle Head -- fishing was slow but we kept 3 springs and the halibut and released about 4-6 shakers. Sunday morning out to Kirby and we had our limit in 60 minutes and headed back to the dock before 8am -- 3 fish between 10-14lbs and one about 8.

Threw loads of hardware at the fish -- coho killer, cop car, Batrix anchovie, wonderbread but the majority of the fish were caught on a green/white hootchie.

Jeff & Ten Mlle, those reports make me want to get out on the water. It's amazing what a couple good reports will do for increasing the expectations!
