Port Eliza Fishing
Well-Known Member
Normally Ling cod open April 1. There are feeder springs around In Esperanza inlet, Places like Garden point can be pretty good for them. They seem to like small spoons. You can try Ferrer point or any of the other near shore spots, there will be the odd bigger chinook. You can go out and fish the offshore areas hoping to intercept some Columbia River springs up until April 1 when it will likely be shut down as it has been in the past few years.Is it worth salmon fishing at the end of the month? Got a new boat and I gotta try it out. Kinda going stir crazy. Was thinking of heading out for a week. Prawning I’m thinking should be good. I notice the ling fishing is currently closed. Any idea when it opens?
Prawning in Nootka and Esperanza in general isn't great, they get hit very hard by commercials every year, but this is before their opening so should be some around.
