Northwest Fishing Reports

we started another year on vancouver island this week, took the boat up and moored it for the summer, and did some early season bottom fishing, no salmon around till july, thats gonna be fun, but for now, we got some hali's, big ling limits and much more. Enjoy! I will update regularly after each trip

Jealous! Looks like a blast! Nice haul!

I agree FF ling and snapper just cant be beat...

I'm gonna have to disagree there Freak, a nice hefeweizen batter slab of ling beats the pan fry in my book. But I do agree, ling is a nice change of pace from steelhead and salmon.

killer! we do that a bunch here too. But when its fresh, we pan fry it because it gives you the taste of the fish without any batter or anything, and its killer!

How come whenever you take a picture of a fish on a scale you always put your hand on the fish and pull it down?

Haha well, actually, that scale at the marina makes the fish turn sideways so you cant see them for pictures, so i am actually just letting the fish rest on my hand so it doesnt turn sideways, im not pulling down at all, the fish is really 32.5 pounds. To prove it, check the picture below, and the picture near the top where I am holding the halibut. the scale goes sideways with a king on it, so you gotta turn um, My fish are plenty big enough, i dont need to pull the scale down any more than it already is

oh yea and what was that thing about tahsis being slowest its been in years and that im "full of it"???? We landed over 50 chinook in 4 days, seems like decent fishing, wouldnt you agree?
