Any recent reports from Ukee? Hoping to get my little sister into a few springs this weekend. I'm wondering if anyone has fished flo or Wya... are the squid still in a flo?
Thx

Arrived at Ukee July 27. Started early in the morning on July 28. Went out to big bank. Stayed there for an hour. 2 guests got really sick after an hour. Didn't get anything. Went to Meares Bluff, fished from 9 to 2pm. After 5 to 6 shakers, sea calmed down. Went to Lighthouse Bank, got a 10# spring for the day.
July 29, hit Florencia Bay at first light, got a 21# springs within 5 minutes of dropping the line. Another bite after 10 minutes but did not stick. Trolled until 8:30am. No bite, went to Turtle Head, lots of coho, got 5 hatch ho and 6 springs before 4pm. Between 8 to 20#. Mostly in their teens. Called it the day.
July 30, had to catch the 3:55 pm ferry back to Vancouver, so only fished Turtle Head from 6 to 9am. Not as active as the day before. O my got an 8# springs until 8:45. Thinking of packing up. Got a bite, whole rod bent, start peeling lines. Have a rooky net minder on board. When fish was closed to the boat, he dipped the net quickly in the water and scared the fish and it went from one side of the boat to the other. After a few minutes of struggling, managed to land a 22# spring. Had to pack up after that. The springs were all caught with white hoochies.
Will be back to Ukee on August 3.

Picked up a quick low teens spring at flo this morning then dragged up a 35lbs hali a few miles out on the troll. Home by 11am. Not bad 
. white hoochies for both

We picked up a couple more mid teen Chinook today around Outside South Bank. Lost a few good ones and released a few shakers. Lots more bait showing today. Again in 150ft of water 80ft down. One on a King Candy and other on a white glow hoochie with flat fish head.

Coming out mid Aug. Will be fishing out front on my Kayak around lighthouse/amphitheater. Whats a general go to set up for salmon in the area and how far out would I have to go for Halibut (if possible)
Also is there anything inside the bay?

Jigs from a kayak would work, so would a flasher and anchovy, glow hootchie, or small spoon, and so would a cutplug in tight where others don't go much. There can be salmon at the mouth of the harbour and Beg Island area. Don't know about the bay itself.
I got a nice hali in August in Felice Channel once and seem to remember posts about them in the structure near the lighthouse/red can. Search posts by Enniburg from 4-10 years back.
