I wonder if they are jigging at night and dropping bright lights in the water or if they are jigging for them first thing in the morning?

Thanks for the info, we will be in Ucluelet the month of July so I thought we might as well try something new. I prefer them as food rather than bait as well.

They were definitely mooching live ones for salmon last summer near Florencia. The trollers didn't care for it.

So, as someone who drives back and fourth 4-6 times per summer, how do you make that work? It can take 2 tides (evening/morning) to limit on everything some weeks.

I have been coming to Ucluelet for 30 years and absolutely love the area, fishing is only a small part of our vacationing. I have many friends and family members that visit us during our summer vacations, at no times are the daily limits or possession limits broken. We are big into catch and release and generally only keep the fish that can not be released (gut / gill hooked or bleeding). A perfect day fishing for me is catching lots of fish coming back to the docks with nothing.
We do allot of cruising as well, we have a 35 foot boat that we fish from, not a fishing boat.
