Arrived Aug. 4 at Moutcha Bay Resort, and two days later the wifi went out back on late last night. It has been SLOW and I mean SLOW, you really have to work at it. The day we decided to head off shore the inside was hot around Camel & area. The next day we tried Strange, San Carlos, Camel & the wall................not even a hit, that evening we went back to the wall and the wife picked up a 21lb spring and that was it. Outside ......the can & reef have been good if you don't mind the wind.
Tally so far is 6 real good size rock cod, 2 ling cod 2 chickens & 2 springs.............not much for 380 miles on the boat in 6 days
Some people seem to be in the right place at the right time, others, like us are not, it really has been a hit & miss.
The can has been good for hali fishing, a friend staying at Tuta with a couple boats have a 95, 65, and a few in the 30 to 40lb range
Gillnetters had two openings since they said there were around 50 boats and only 3000 fish taken in the first opening, they had a second but haven't heard how many were taken.
Never had to work this hard at salmon fishing in Nootka before...................will keep you posted as to how we make out
The sockeye are on their way to Barkley Sound and the Fraser as well.. Joking aside I was told the fish push into Nootka Sound following the full moon by a ex-com fisherman. Worked for me for years just not this year.
