Fishing Reports

Salmon Fishing Good
Salmon fishing was GOOD this past week but once again not too many anglers went out. Of those boats that did go out, most caught springs up to 10 lbs. The hot spots were Whirl Bay and near Christopher Point where it’s been an afternoon bite, probably due to the full moon. The fish are deep and depths of 100 to 180 feet are where anglers are finding the fish. The fish are not very selective and are being caught on all types of gear. Anchovy and herring have been very productive baits for springs. Bloody Nose and Purple Haze teaser heads have been the most popular when using bait and the best flashers have been the Purple Onion, Red Glow and Purple Haze. Hootchies and squirts were good in Purple Haze, Electric Chair and Lemon Meringue. Cop Car or Green/Silver Coyote spoons have also been good for springs. HALIBUT – Recreational halibut fishing remains CLOSED in all coastal BC waters but is scheduled to open on March 1st.
