2024 Nootka Sound/Esperanza Inlet Reports

I'm obviously not in the know on this history, but looking forward to our BYOB trip to Port Eliza in August.

We had a great trip putting in the docks and ramp on Saavedra Island. Getting the power and water working is always a project.

Then some prawning and a little bottom fishing so we could have our prawn and fish taco night.

The weather and water conditions were amazing.

Nothing compares to a Jumbo Nootka Prawn.

Is the prawning good in July? Or have the commercial guys cleaned them out by then?

I’ve tried with no success several times.

Brentvivian75, it is not good in July.

After the commercial opening there is not much left.

The best chance is to find spots that are tucked away that a 2000 foot string could not have got into.

You can always get enough for a steak and prawn dinner.
