    2016 Nootka Sound/Esperanza Inlet Fishing Reports

    The message seem to be getting through. If it calm go Outside above Esperanza. If you must fish inside fish DEEPER than you normally would have in the past. Inside use small glow flashy lures/hoochies or small anchovies. FOJ call if you would like to talk 800 992 3252

    2016 Nootka Sound/Esperanza Inlet Fishing Reports

    The facts are pretty clear. No matter how much experience, Guide or Not if the fish are not in yet then going outside may be your only option for consistent catching.

    2016 Nootka Sound/Esperanza Inlet Fishing Reports

    Interesting how fishers react when they don't catch fish. Could it not be that they were not where the fish were. Or possibly fishing to shallow just because that's what they did last yr. (ever hear of warming water conditions) Not trying to say anything more than sometimes fishing deeper or in...

    Seaqualizer

    Yes they work well. Our Guides have released nearly 100 bottom fish successfully this season. They should be mandatory for releasing these long live fish. The above comments are right on. The 50-100-150 generally works for WCVI FOJ

    L.E.D. Hoochy rig for off-shore WCVI

    All Good stuff spring fever!! Yes anchovies rule but these newer Light House lit lures are a great option.
