We fished Friday and the Labour day weekend - only 'bite' was at the Little Q Saturday morning and it looked like most boats got fish or some hits ...the rest of the time only one small feeder off Tribune Bay....incidentally all the fish caught were deeper than usual at the Q...between 45 and 90 feet. One guy I saw at the Deep Bay dock who seemed to get fish when no one else was said that he used a mini-pink/red hootchie inside a full size purple haze hootchie with a purple haze flasher....fact or fiction I don't know but may be worth a try if nothing else is working.

Fished LQ tonight. Didn't see any caught, but a couple boats said they got one or two. We had 3 pin poppers that didn't hook up. Lots of shaker coho.
Will give it another try next week.

Hey everyone, picked up a nice 15 Lb. Chinook tonight at the Little "Q", seen another one caught at dusk. What a Beautiful evening...I'll take the Qualicum Rivers over the Alberni Inlet any day of the week-Less boats, flater water, and as good of fishing in my opinion...Home Sweet Home!

Gave it another shot tonight. Only one other boat out there. Managed to go one for one. Not big, maybe 12 lbs, at 80' in 180' of water. Will give it another try in a few days.

I'm actually hoping for the opposite...doesn't look like the bulk of the fish have shown up yet...this rain could be a good thing if the sun now stays for a while (no rain on the forecast until the 25th).
Maybe I'm being overly optimistic, but still hoping.
Might be looking for a crew for first light Saturday if anyone's interested.

Lots of fish surfacing. For fun or chased by seals.. I was casting but couldnt get one to bite. Fished a bit north and got my first coho from shore! You guys have great fishing opportunities up there.

I fished Big Q almost every day for two weeks at the end of August and caught only 1. Like you, last year I could not keep the bloody things off. LOL
One thing I did notice this year was there were a LOT of immature Coho, more than most years I found.
