There's a little bank off behind Little D'Arcy, try out there. (23 meters or so) Fish maybe on the outside of it, in 200ft of water or so. Be careful out there, and Post back if you you're out and let me know how you do! Watch out for rock fish closures in that area, near D'Arcy Islands.

You'll actually have to fish NORTH from that location, there is NO FISHING in that area permitted, ALL YEAR! (ROCK FISH CLOSURE).
South Pender is a good bet when the insade tides allow, never caught on there but tried a few times on the advice of an old hook-and-line fisherman. Also heard of a dragger gettting a few in Trincomali Channel.

I've lived and fished around Sidney for 20 years and have heard tales of halibut caught in the channel between James and Sidney Islands while bouncing the bottom for salmon. Never from a person who was actually there, of course...
