Launched there for years. Low tide is tricky at times. Make sure your boat motor warms up for few minutes, get ready, get clear in the path into fast moving water. Good control, you ll be alright. If engine stalls, boat will drift down. Be careful. I prefer high tide.
I have caught Alberni coho in mid-sept or fourth week before. A few locals get them on thanksgiving at times. Canal s quiet but they re there. RCMP training divers see school of cohos at China creek marina Waters in Oct.
Hard to catch salmon or lings but never know. Check regulations before fishing. A few decades ago, this spot had tons of salmon. Not now..far very few. Have fun fishing.
Have seen the numerous sockeye gillnet Boats working from Cape Beale all the way up to upper inlet at commercial fishing opening before. I Sportsfished around Cape Beale in early summer long time ago.
In my past years of sockeye fishing...I have had luck catching sockeyes in between 40 to 90 feet often. At times, fish go way deep 80 to 100 due to heatwave for days or avoid seine boats s netting.
My buddies and I fished in the area on three fishing shifts. A few springs in from 10 to 19 lb for retention, released 2 wild coho 5 lb and shy of 10 lb. one pink to show. Overall, it was slow yesterday. Killer whales are busy fishing there. Nice calm seas, fog, sun. Priceless
