Family Success in Ucluelet

[rbv]

Just thought I'd share a couple of pictures of our family's fishing success during the last two weeks of August in Ucluelet. Sorry its a bit late ...

Thanks for all the insight this forum offers. Living in the interior of BC allows us very little opportunity to fish the salt, so thanks for sharing your reports. They help me cope while I can't fish ...

During our first week (3rd week of August) we had good success close to shore with chinook up to 25lbs on anchovies and coyote spoons. The last week of August was slow in close to shore, so good weather allowed us to venture out to South Bank in our 1969 18' Crestliner where we landed our biggest yet, a 33 lb chinook, amongst others, mainly on Tomic Spoons.

My wife holding our 33 pounder proved to be a great fishing partner ...

Its a great lake boat. We live on the Shuswap. Not a great ocean boat but its okay for fishing as long as I pick my weather carefully. It has a Johnson '88 Speacial (90HP 2-stroke) and an Envinrude 9.9 4-stroke kicker.

RBV, what part of the interior are you from. I know the feeling, it is awesome fishing on the WCVI, my first year as well. Well done.

Great to see you had the kids along and that you all enjoyed yourselves.

Some very nice fish there Thanks for sharing.

Merrittboy,

We're from Salmon Arm. I still enjoy flyfishing around home but it does not quite rank with the experiences we have out on the ocean.

It is a lot of fun out there. Did u guys camp? We went to UKILLIT several years in a row with the kids, fished on the big boats, made me realize that I needed my own boat. Spent most of the summer in Renfrew, dream come true. U should thik about giving that a try. Did u mean that u went out to the banks? I hope that I am brave enough next year!

Nice Halis Merrittboy. We just went out to "South Bank". Only about 5 miles South of the Lighthouse. We were careful to pick good weather, which we were fortunate to have lots of ....
