Everyone is fishing full tilt boogey off the west coast of Vancouver Island, BC. Ucluelet has been the hot destination for boat limits of Tyees! We are consistently coming in with between 4 and 6 30 lb plus chinook salmon for the past two weeks. The Southwest corner has absolutly been on fire. 6 inch spoons and 7 inch plugs in the top 100 feet has been producing like crazy. Anything with blue or green patterns.
We have been lucky enough to catch limits of nice chinook salmon and boat limits of nice Halibut while fishing off Long Beach approx 12 miles west of Ucluelet Along Vancouver Islands West coast.
The Bait of Choice are 6 inch Tomic Plugs, 700 pattern, 252, and the 500 were all working quite well. And it kept the shakers to a minimum.
Work through the big tides and you will get your fish, both Salmon and Halibut.
Good Luck on your next fishing trip.

The Salmon fishing off BC’s west coast is still on fire.
Anywhere on the inside banks, South Bank, Long Beach, Lighthouse Bank, and Portland Point are Great spots to catch your limit of Chinook Salmon withing an hour. You have to come try it, you won’t believe how great the fishing is!!!
6 and 7 inch spoons with no flasher are working great for 25-30 lb chinook salmon.
If you don’t believe me… grab your boat, or give me a call, and come fishing.
Don’t have a boat? Don’t worry , we have 2 fantastic 38′ yachts, book your fishing charter today.

The Salmon are here in Hoards and the Halibut has blown up!
The Salmon Fishing is still the best I have seen it off the west coast of ucluelet with south bank and Great bear producing limits of 15 thru 30 lb chinook.
Halibut Fishing is starting to get real hot at La Perouse Bank 18 miles south of the BC coast. The Rats nose and the Gullies are the hottest spots.
Check back next week for another BC Salmon and Halibut Fishing Report
Nice Fish Doc
The fishing has been crazy, we have been out 6 of the last 7 days with limits of chinook salmon being caught within an hour. My best day was June 12 when we had a group of 7 guests, Dr. Obrien and friends, and we have 14 chinook salmon all over 20 lbs. (We were also back at the dock by noon.)
The Salmon Fishing Video will be posted by weeks end, we have a little editing to do.
Coyote spoons are the bait of choice in 3,4, and 5 inch sizes with the blue and silver and green and silver colour patterns.
Thanks,

The catch rate and fun factor rival fishing at BC fishing Resorts in the Queen Charlotte Islands, or Alaska for about one third the price.

Great Salmon Fishing, Ucluelet BC, Late May
The Salmon have officially arrived, in hoards.
South Bank, The Shallow spot, and Hammond pass are on fire for some of the best early season Salmon Fishing we have seen out of Ucluelet in the past 10 seasons. Hook up your boat or book a charter and lets catch some fish.
Halibut Fishing at Anchor, Ucluelet
The Fishing Season is in full swing off the west coast, Daily Limits of Halibut are being caught at the Shallow Spot 18 miles south of Ucluelet.
We hooked in to a pair of 40’s, a 50, and a 67lb Halibut after setting the pick at one of my favorite spots on Friday. Then on Sunday we backed it with with a 22, 45, and a 60 lb Halibut, at another hot spot. Also on the Pick (Anchor). We also landed a chicken but you guys don’t want to hear about that.
Alley Rock, Long Beach, and Portland Point produced limits of Chinnok Salmon ranging from 15-25 lbs, although some days you had to work a little harder.
The Coyote 3.5 to four inch in green and silver, and blue and silver with about a 4-5 ft leader seemed to be the lure of choice.
Keep tuned in for more fishing reports.

Every one likes fresh dungeness crab, right?

Prawn Fishing off Capstan Island and Prideaux Island is producing between 2 dozen and 4 dozen Prawns per trap for an overnight soak.
The Shellfish Ban has been lifted for portions of Barkley Sound and there is an abundance of Oysters, and Clams if you have the energy to dig them, around Toquart Bay and the Stopper Islands.

Grab your gear, its time to go fishing, remember to buy a new license, your one from last year expired at the end of March, and don’t forget your Salmon tag.
