I used to fish Black Cod out of Winter Harbour , the last time I was there was I think 1984 when the Canucks went to the finals, does the guy in the store still "Roll" double or nothing for your purchase ?
Have a great time guys ... Kraft

The boat launch is good at Coal Harbour.I've launched my 24 ftr a couple times.Good ramp,water etc
I'll be up on the 27th will you still be there salmon slayer

 

[salmon slayer]

comming home on the 29th. Have no idea were to go to fish for halis or other ground fish. In looking at other fishing reports the fishing has been good so far.

Really getting excited about going.

I havent fished hali in the area.Matbe someone will post who has.You can go to salmonuniversity.com and click on regions and go to Quatsino Sound and ther are some caharts that are useful.I fished for bottomfish off of Kains Island and did very good last year

 

[salmon slayer]

Thanks for the heads up. If youre in the area give a call.

see ya up there

 

[Trevor]

i have heard that about 4 miles out for hali and you can get lings in the same area and for other bottom fish you need some structurebut you should get everything up there good luck might see you there

I was there 2 weeks ago,stayed at Dick's as well. Great food, great guy.
We fished mostly for halis and ling cod, but also got our limits of coho.
All you have to do is just get out of the inlet and get fishing for halis and ling cod. we were using mud-rakers,bouncing them off the bottom.
You can also get chinook trolling inside the inlet, green hotspot flasher and chartreuse hoochie, 45 in behind the flasher.
Great ramp at Coal Harbour, but would advise you to get a lock for your gas/diesel tank on your vehicle, as we lost about 1/2 tank of diesel there.
