McDonald park on sea island just north of the airport is the closest launch to fish from porlier to entrance island. Steveston is closer to south galiano and active pass.
I fished at Galiano Island today. We arrived at about noon and fished for two hours at the power lines on the east side of Galiano. Not a bite. Low tide was at 10:00 AM and we missed it so maybe that was a factor. We then went north up to Porlier Pass and fished there for a few hours. We got one ling cod and that was it. We were using hoochies and a green and white spoon. Even though we didn't get any salmon it was nice to be out. The water was flat and the day was nice even though it clouded over. My big question involves the areas to fish. Is Thrasher Rock generally a more reliable fishing spot compared to the east side of Galiano? Also, where is the best place to launch a boat on the Vancouver side to be nearest to the north end of Galiano or Thrasher? I launched in Ladner by Westham Island which is essentially close to Steveston. Is there another closer location?
Gorgeous out there tonight, fished from 6:30 to 8. Not much again bait wise but we did manage to boat a nice red 22#'r. Splatterback @ 140' in 145' FOW. Hoping to get the interior of the boat painted tomorrow so we can play this weekend. Pic is of the 19#'r from sunday.
