2021 Campbell River Reports

[ship happens]

From up north?

Glad others have found it slow, I was worried I was just a bad fisherman (still might be though).

We fished north south east west. Best fishing was south quadra. East of the green can. Tides were working in that favor and the tide runs different on each side of the shoal. Not the greatest fishing and we could have hit it harder but hey on vacation. Still killed ****

Hi folks:

I hate to be ‘that guy’ yet I’m going to anyway

my boat has been in ‘rebuild engine’ mode for past 10 months (hey, only one lawyer involved....yet I digress......)

launched yesterday

Working our way to Campbell for some fishing

question: being distracted (and not being DFO fluent) Can you please Confirm that in the ground from comox to Campbell River

1) we are still 1 spring a day in the slot of 62-80cm

2) is there coho retention?

Thanks in advance

chris

So Easy- Definitely not an easy place to fish with a big flood- sometimes I’ll fish only one rod when it’s running hard. Start south of the Lodge in 175 feet- Army Truck has been good- feed was mid-water the other day. If you hit a chinook, after playing and hopefully boating it, run back towards the light and pound the same spot again! Good luck out there!

Off topic
I found some Dodge and VW keys at Browns Bay today.
You can pm me to identify

What’s the fishing report up there? Spending a week at BB next week/weekend will be everywhere from Chatham to denham and back down. Will report as I go. Little pre trip intel would be much appreciated.

I wasn’t fishing today, just touring around. I talked to some guys on the dock that just came in who said it was slow for them. The wind was blowing pretty good up there.

Hi Guys just curious if I am reading the regs right!!!! On my way back from fishing north of CR tonight !!!! I saw 5 boats in front of e anchor Inn and north towards the pier!!! I read the regs and thought that you could only use 6 oz of weight or less there ?

They were all using riggers

yah that’s a no no. basically the breakwater at hidden harbour north is no down riggers on the Cr side. i have the exact coordinates in my gps unit. you’ll be surprised how far out it extends towards the cape mudge reserve.
