I've managed to bring a lot of Halibut into my boat between Cormorant and Malcolm Islands.

12.32567 nautical miles on a bearing of 285.3276 degrees from Solander island in water that is 263.49 feet deep, 3 hours and 23 minutes into a 8.6 foot ebb tide. Must use Shimano TLD 20 with 80 lb. test powerline, with 2 day old pink salmon bellies that have come from a 5.4 lb. female, and has fermented in 22 celcius temperatures for 22 hours.

DO NOT VARY from these instructions at all! you will not find halibut anywhere else on the E/WCVI

Whew!! Had me sweating for a while-- you missed the good ones

 

[fishchaser]

I have cought several Halibut in late July and Early August incidently trolling for Springs in thee Wyat Trough.

 

[Mooseman250]

My buddy in nanaimo claims there are no hali south of Campbell River to Active Pass. Personally I can't see that being true?

There are halibut around Hornsby island ...... Fact

 

[chevyshaulass]

whatever spot produces a quick limit for the guests so we can get back to spring fishing!

 

[Island Fish Lifter]

Ive spent a lot of time, money and gas finding my hali spots. I don't mind sharing them with my friends but will never post them on a public forum. Get a chart, look for rocks and gravel. Its trial and error but rewarding when you figure it out.
