Spent a couple of days in the broken group. Tried offshore for halibut, no luck. Swells were sort of big. Fished for salmon from Cree to swale. Got a nice one for dinner and lots of shakers on a white hootchy. Tried a green and glow coyote at swale and hit a 15er or so. Really hit the spoon hard. Landed one and lost another, then the bite went off.

I’m not catching much fish here at Amphitrite, I did hook this halibut rig, still in pretty good shape.

Edit added a pic of setup he lost

Back from a week fishing Bamfield (Aug 23 - 30). It was our second time there so still learning the best spots. Fishing was great for us, except for 1 really slow day in the middle of the trip (we just went to the wrong spots that day)
Limit of springs and coho, since we had so many days there we released some decent springs early so we could keep fishing. Largest Springs were 27.5 lbs (spoon and personal best for me) and 23 lbs (bait and personal best for my wife) from Swale. Picked up some of our other springs on the Wall and Robbers but Swale was our top spot. Early in the trip spoons (coho killer) were the ticket and our last few fish were all on chovies. No love for us at Whittlestone despite multiple attempts. Coho up to 11 lbs were caught on spoons and bait at Pill and Diplock mainly.
Excellent trip, and the weather cooperated most of the week. Wasn’t expecting to be able to go for a swim off the boat mid day so late in the season on the West Coast!
Booking in for next year right away! Should be a better than normal derby weekend as there were reports of more fish coming in the day we were leaving.

The rod isn’t worth much but the reel is a Penn 330 GT and seems to be in perfect shape.
Apparently there are halibut there? None for me, just a shark, a halibut rig, and an octopus.

Caught the 10o clock boat and made it to bamfield by 3. Roads were good. Went to the wall tonight to dial the boat in. Hit 4 fish over 2 hours but nothing over 10lbs. Any sfbc members

Heading to Bamfield for the tuna derby and it looks like the wind might keep us in the inlet for several days fishing salmon. Any fishing reports?

We were at the nook for the long weekend We had no luck on catching salmon ended up with 4 coho , released a bunch of small springs. Tried every where from assists ,pill ,swale effingham too Beale down to the nook. Even off shore sucked for salmon. But that’s fishing .

Fished my last crew of the season during the Labour Day weekend. It was still decent fishing. Was into 8 springs on Saturday and again on Sunday. Fished a half day on Monday, landed 5 and took home three. Was fishing chovies at Robbers Pass mostly, 30 feet on the downrigger. Saturday had a good mid morning bite at Dixon just past the wall. The far west side of Kirby was good Saturday afternoon. A half dozen coho thrown into the mix. Was very much worthwhile. I saw a few fish caught on glow white hootchies as well.

Keeping an eye on the offshore conditions via buoyweather and vessel finder. Looks like tuna water out around 53 miles. Sept 10th look ok but the 11th and 12th are an issue. 13th to 17th also look ok at this point....west coast don't like the weather wait 5min.
