The stormy weather the last couple of days has really put a damper on fishing in Esperanza. It went from excellent fishing last trip to very sparse this one. Chinook and Coho have been tough to find in any numbers, a few locations have had some squid and white turds were working to fool a few...

Lots of Canuma Fish will come thru the Esperanza Inlet area. Usually they start sitting out in the sandstone area now, and filter in closer thru spots around Catella, into Pin Rocks, and start to show at Rosa. Garden point will often follow, and into Saltery bay later in the summer and early...
Fishing continues to be excellent in Esperanza. Lots of Cinook and Coho, nice weather means bottom fish too. One of the best things about being up here for the summer is getting to fish with my son Alex. Not only is he a great employee he's my best fishing partner! He could use a shave and...
Fishing is very good in Esperanza. Limits of chinook and Coho up towards Tachu point and Sandstone out in deeper water. Chovies or small spoons doing the trick.
After a bit of a lull, fishing has picked up again. Most boats getting limits of Chinook with some coho around too. Bottom fishing has been good with light winds.
Fishing in Esperanza continues to be good, it has slowed down from the easy limits we were experiencing at high rocks the last little while. Some of those fish seem to have moved on. There are still consistent catches from Tatchu down to Low Rock on small spoons or anchovies, both coho and...
It's on in in Esperanza. Lots of salmon, chinook and coho, in 100 to 130 feet of water high rocks to low rocks. Small spoons or anchovies ( dont need anchovies) Had some guys do well at Ferrer. Bottom fishing steady too!
Yes it is a close run to the fishing grounds. The winner was inside pin rocks so less than 10 minutes away.
The 2nd place fish was caught on day 1, they just kept it on ice here until day 2, the winner was caught just a few hours before the weigh in expired. Yes they had to go in on day 2 to...

Hi Grizz. Prawning isn't great in the area. The commercial guys just left, they had been hitting it pretty hard. Port Eliza inlet itself held nothing this year, but it is only 200 feet at its max. There may be spots in Esperanza itself that still have some. I'm no prawn expert, and havent really...
Finally the winds have died down for a few days in the Esperanza area. Salmon fishing is still hit and miss but we had some ling success. Biggest was 28lbs.

Had some reports from Ferrer, not much there except some feeders, same for Garden point and inside areas. Some reports of the odd mature fish at Low rock, near the bottom out in 100-130 feet of water,. That might be worthwhile to try. If the weather is good maybe head up toward grassy and...
