I just got back on Monday. Fishing is VERY good on the inside. THe usual spots , camel, 3bays , Hoiss , San Carlos. Anchovies and white hoochies where the best producers. The Outside was also fishing good if you can make it out there. The wind was really bad last week offshore.
The early morning bite was really good. People where back at the docks at 10am.
Any fuel reports? Whats the going rate on the water? I'll be staying at Moutcha but running all over. Thanks in advance.
Great report HudJust got home from my first trip of the year to Nootka. Stayed at Critter Cove as we have for the past eight years. We arrived last Wednesday and set up camp, then fished on Thursday. Got three springs in Tahsis Inlet and lost many that day. Friday fishing slowed to a crawl and only managed to get one small coho. Took a break to regroup on Saturday and fix my sounder and chartplotter. Things changed significantly on Sunday where we limited out on springs at Friendly Cove in under two hours, then switched to coho gear and couldn’t keep the springs off our lines. Managed to get a couple of good sized coho regardless.
Monday we went offshore and limited out on halibut and ling cod. In the evening we had two spots left on our licenses so we went across to Camel Rock and within 45 minutes we had our two springs. Turned out to be a fantastic trip.
Most successful lures were white hootchies, with bait the second best choice. We came home yesterday with limits of Chinook, Halibut and Ling Cod. Nothing big, but great just the same. Heading back up on Sunday.
