Nanaimo is on fire!

[RVP]

Lot's of fish this past weekend ranging from shakers to 28 lbs. with many in the low to mid teens. I just had an opportunity to take some pictures from the boat ramp of some beauty headless chinook and one of the fish was 28 and the other was 19 pounds...totally awesome fish - beautiful color and very fat and healthy.

Time is now - renew your tidal lic. and get your butt out on the tide! Stop in and have a coffee...we're open from 7am to 7pm seven days a week. Nanaimo's sport fishing centre - Screaming Fish & Fly.

CLUBBER - actually, I was not out...just the feedback at the boat ramp beside the Sportfishing Centre. He caught them on Cop Car Coyotes. other successful anglers have been using anchovy as well as white hootchy and army trucks or mint tulip needlefish.

Cheers,

Bottom bouncing with strip and long leaders...flasher color doesn't seem to matter much. (Grande)

He is building traps for meeee...I hope. Actually he has a few to do first and then we'll have his traps down at the Sportfishing Centre along with a pallet of Carlyle and pellets in about ten days.

cheers,
RVP.

...yes, Sunday, the boat launch had about five boats with fish off of the mid day - ranging from 10 to 20 lbs. It looks like things are continuing to get better.

I plan on fishing Nanaimo on monday, weather permitting.Any reports?

 

[RobTufnail]

fished decourcy and got two fish, 8 and 11.
copcar and army truck hootchie
didnt manage to get to the outside though

Who needs to go outside when you can get a couple of BBQ sized fish in beautiful protected waters. Rob, where do you fish Decourcy, betweend Valdes or on the West side? The new RCA in Hourston Passage reeally screwed up my old fav. areas. I've caught a few nice fish just at the south end... We have a place on Decourcy.

I fish the stewart channel side near ruxton pass. I can safely say i know that area better then anyone, three years of fishing for springs with decent success.Only 4 minutes from my cabin on ruxton too. Where abouts is your place on decourcy?

this is the first year i've fished more then 1 rod though So far this season i've gotten 3 fish in 4 outings in that area, 7, 8, 11.
I am not complaining, I've put in the hours

Any reports this week[?].Going to head out in the morning.

 

[Dirtdog67]

Tyee, reports from whalebone to the waterfall were nothing but positive this morning. Not alot in the size dept. but consistant action reported from a reliable source. Helpfull hint, they were full of squid. Splatter back seemed to be the key.-dirty

 

[1stLite]

thanks for that could not get out today but tomorrow for sure.

 

[RobTufnail]

i plan to get my gear in the water tomorrow and will report upon my return
