2018 Fishing Recap
A big thank-you to everyone who came out for another fishing trip with us this past summer. Hi to all the people who couldn't make it, we missed you. The summer was a lot of fun again and there were lots of great catches.
April and May were great for early season and June was good as well--better than 2017. Early-Mid July was good inshore and Florencia. We had some fun fishing squid again--my favorite! The squid stayed there most of July, though the second half of July was a little slower with faster days mixed in. Mid-July to around August 20 was good for Chinook, Coho and Halibut off at Big Bank. The fishing picked up around August 18 at Wya and stayed good until about September 12 for the larger returning Chinook. Little Beach was not as good this year as last year, though there were a few good bites there.
I think we had more double hookups this year fishing Wya than any year in the past! The forecast was good for the local return to Barkley Sound and there were lots of screaming reels!
Stay tuned for the 2019 Fishing Forecast as it should be a good one!
Below are pictures starting in April and ending in September.
