Was out yesterday for a break in trip to make sure everything worked, including me[
]
A couple small springs, a ling and a RC for a couple hours. Lots of bait around. Fished the back side of Malcolm. Was going to go to Hardy, but the fog had my fishing partner a little worried for her first trip of the year, so we stuck close to home.
Next weekend we will hit it hard.
There is a few fish around, but they are not here in #'s yet.
Good luck to all who are coming up
Cheers

nice catch, lazoman!
we may be heading up to Alder Bay from Powell River by boat as early as tomorrow evening or tuesday morning... hoping to do a little exploring and some bottom fishing in the area.
It'll be our first shot at bottom fishing in that area, and will only be there for 1 or 2 nights... we have experience with halibut on the westcoast of the island...
any general tips for that area that you could give us... any help is greatly appreciated!

Hey larry
Try off Lizzard Pt., between Bere Pt and Malcolm Pt. or anywhere along the backside of Malcolm Island. There is lots of Hali's all along there. Just look for the small pinnacles that come up from the deeper water to 150-200' and bounce those using what you use on the west coast.
Also in front of Cluxewe River to the Hardy airport is another good spot.
You own a Hewescraft right?? You can reach any of those spots in no time with your boat.
if you need any more info, give me a shout and I will try to help
Cheers

Thanks for the info, SS...
You're right, I visit this forum periodically... I do run a 220 Searunner.
I may well give you a shout when we get away... I've checked with Alder Resort... from what guys are saying here it looks like a good place for moorage??
...atleast until we can get abit of a look around the area.

Just returned from Alder Bay with Lazomans Group got a couple Halis definately not hot right right now you have to work for them. Had a good time at Alder Bay its set up nice. Showers etc beatiful view. The moorage is different depends on the size of your boat. I have a 24' Wellcraft and the fingers of the dock are only about 18-20 ft long. Its a open moorage not protected from the wind. We went into Telegraph Cove for gas and there Marina is set up real nice. There is no fuel at Alder Bay either. Its about a 10 minute run to Telegraph. They have all the amenities at Telegraph, beer, store, pub,restaurant just not sure about the camping. Good Luck have fun.

Thanks for the heads up, "CC.."...
Protected moorage is important for us since we would be overnighting in the boat... and, the availability of fuel/amenities are also important for this trip... especially the Pub
We'll be travelling up by boat, so camping is not a concern this time...

There is good moorage and gas and all the amenities in Port McNeill as well and it is only another 15-20 min up the coast.
Give me a shout when you are in and I will see if I can come down to the dock and visit. The wife would like to see the bigger SR.....hint, hint

I'm at Telegraph this weekend. Will post when I return. Never been there, so not real confident in our chances, but we'll see.

Backatit, our group were all first timers to the area as well last week. We caught hali at Georges Bank, between Lizard point and Donegal point on the backside of Malmcolm Island, Mitchell Bay, and south end of Hanson Island. Thanks to all on the forum for the input we collected before our trip. Also thanks to the discussion on Harpooning, I put one together and it really came in handy on the big one, one vote for 'through the guts'
