Flipping For Salmon
« on: August 31, 2016, 10:41:28 PM »
The moment my brother Tyson has been waiting for has finally arrived. He got his wish and caught a big Chinook while out with us at Ucluelet last week. Watch the video you'll see he goes over the top... seriously, haha!



My Brother Tyson is slightly... and by slightly I mean a lot less interested if fishing than me. But he still enjoys coming along in hopes of getting the big one. He has been on two trips with me in the last year and jumped at the opportunity at our last minute Ucluelet British Columbia trip last week. Despite being riddled with engine troubles and Expedia cancelled reservations we still made out all Right. We were out fishing on South Bank with out 9.9 hp Mercury four stroke when something hit at 127 feet on the rigger on a Green and Glow Kingfisher Spoon by Silver Horde. My brother grabbed the rod and the fish starts pulling drag and reels a screaming. Pulled out the camera and well the rest is history. I think he was a little excited about this one. What do you think?

Lol,, that's pretty good Doc. It's an exciting time having a big nooky on the line.

Looks like you guys were out there a bit, Star Fish, Outside South Bank ?

Thx again Doc.

We were pretty close to outside south.  There is that ridge that runs along the center of South bank at an angle.  We were just staying on that ridge.

I think I've got them all for ukee, bamfield, tofino... let me know if you need a few more.  I got all these off the Internet and entered them into my cell phone navionics.  Every pin is a spot. 

I am curious if you have ever fished Swiftsure bank out of Port renfrew?  Have any coordinates out there. 

I really want to catch halibut and don't know where to go or where is a good starting place.  Got lucky this last time with my first one but I'd love to know some hali holes!

Thanks!

Never fished Renfew but it's on the list.

Good luck getting anybody to give up a Hali hole, they are more sacred than walleye spots those things. It's pretty good Hali fishing all along the bank all the way from the north end of long beach to Ukee. Lots of guys troll right on the bottom all the way through there and do quite well. It's a nice clean bottom so drifting and jigging along there works as well. I do have one Hali hole out there, it's more north to Tofino but it can produce.



By the looks of it you are not showing Starfish on your pins, may just be the way it's zoomed. If you don't have it let me know cause you should have it,,it's definetly one of the go to spots out there.

Yeah I have starfish just had to be quite zoomed out to fit them all.  It was my plan to fish starfish and the rats nose last trip but my engine had other plans.  So I'm glad I wasn't way out there and then have the problems.
