Well back from a week in paradise. Caught the 515 ferry, booked it to alberni to stock up then hit the gravel road which wasn't too bad. Got the lines in the water by 4pm and had a beauty 10lb coho on the first rod before I could even get the other rod down and thought this is gonna be an epic trip and it was. Over the next 6 days we were in to at least 15-20 fish a day with a few feeders in the mix. Springs from 10-18lb and coho from 8-16lb with a few double headers. Lost a couple screamers and got our limit pretty easy. Want to thank trophywife for the info before we left, he gave me some tips to try and wouldn't ya know, it produced a few nice chicken halibut and a couple smaller guys (thanks brother) We were in my 16ft aluminum so were fishing all the normal inside spots. With the algae blooms we were running glow head anchovies and when they ran out the lime green 4 inch spoons, which produced our biggest fish, we were running 36 and 40ft on the riggers exclusively. Flemming, kirby, and Edward king were our main spots. With all the gloom surrounding this season I have to say this turned out to be an amazing trip with a ton of fish.
Cheers
