What a TRIP!!!
Tons and TONS of fish, we released many many more than what we kept.
Final tallies look like this
1 48#er
3 in the 30# range
1 12# coho.
Limits with the rest Over 500 pounds of fish in 3 days.
We fished Dundas and Edie
Lots of Coho around Holiday. Bait balls that will make your whole screen go red.
We used Herring and when that shut down we switched to plugs and spinners. That did the trick.
My Bro caught a 15 pound Yellow eye. 2 Halis in the mid 20's But we didn’t spend much time with that end of things.
And still I haven’t busted the 30# mark. My guide thought I did for about 5 hours.. The scale told a different story.
Lots of laughs, unfortunately I can not give the same report for our lodge owner. We made the best of a horrible situation and when it became unbearable we left early.
Hats off to Dollys (Fish packer) That Charmaine really knows how to take care of customers. She was a real class act and should be named Mayor of that town. Quality person for sure!
Pics when I find the Cam.
Jamie
BTW the new Islander was worth every penny.
BTW no matter what your "Outfitter tells you.. Do not park in the yacht club parking lot. The good folks over there will have the tow truck on you ASAP and then that friendly fellow will charge you $60 just to get his truck out of the way. Nice Tourism idea. Makes me want to run right back. Oh well as a group we still had lots of laughs and that’s all that really counts.

Well...this is now the 8th day in a row we have limited out on Chinook! Today we limited out BY 8:15AM!!! 6 CHINOOK BY 8:15AM!!! We started fishing at 6:45am...so in an hr and a half we nailed these plus lost a few and missed hooking another. As one of my guests said today, "the only problem with the day was that our guide couldn't get two rods in the water, geeze...but it was because of fish hitting non stop, so I guess I'll let it pass" haha 2 Chinook under 20lbs (17 and 19), plus a 21, 23, and two hogsssss well over 30lbs.
After that went out to some secret pinnacles (salmon spot also fairly secret which is nice...only 2 boats there), and limited out on Red Snapper (Yelloweye) and then hit the chicken coup and limited out on halibut in 8 minutes...all between 16 and 30lbs. One of the guys was sick so we decided to head er in instead of nailing some lings. Great day...great fishing, nice and calm for a change...and the salmon fishing is UNREAL...gotta love life guys! Jamie...pics from your trip man..pics!! Plus that story! lol

HE CAN'T LIFT THEM haha Larry caught both hogs!

Well, lets just hope all those fish we sent back make their way down to Hakai pass by the 17 of July. Perhaps that will be where I will find my 30#er
I know I am hitting the right places as every year I see monsters and pigs being brought in to the boat.. Just not my turn YET!!!
Looks like your company is having a fantstic season.
As for the story, well that will have to wait till I am done with my discusions.
Pics are here on my comp, I just have to find some time to put them up.
As one final kick in the nads.. "Apparently" the guide who took the pics of the 48#er has "Lost" his camera..........
Ever seen a 15# Yellow Eye?

I know kids under the age of 16 get free licenses...but still have to pay for the salmon stamp...so pretty cheap as it is free for an annual. How old are your kids Jamie?

Going to be in Terrace on the 16th doing the river thing again for a week or so! Be in the Outlaw Lynx 16' with a black top staying at the Wild Duck! Be trying bar fishing and some back trolling.
Looking forward to getting away from the grindstone!

We head to BC every summer, Northern BC I think the large runs of chinook are around until the middle of July, than the coho fishing heats up in Aug.
Around the Island I have had my best luck for chinook the last 2 weeks of Aug. thats also when we have caught large coho 20 lbs +.
The QCI seem to be good from June until Aug for chinook. but I have only fished the west side of the Islands

Make sure you also check "Whale" Rock. It forms a eddy as the tide goes in or out. Fish the correct side and you might just end up with a Taxi Bill.
Whale rock is on your right hand side just before OBMG's lodge that is across from Marker 16.
Here is a pic of the fish we woke up and the next boat behind us caught. (My buddy ran the boat directly into whale rock and woke this fish up. His last words before pilling into the rock were "Hey Jamie, look at the pretty red sail boat (CRASH)"
http://www.kingsalmonresort.com/
Its the main pic with the Guy and Gal that have the cut off shirt sleeves, nice people!!
Another place is the "Slide" also close to OBMG lodge.
Good luck, and don’t get discouraged. Your bites may be few and far in-between. But this is the place to catch a HOG!!! Keep your trolling dead slow (About 1.4 Knots). You do not want that line above 45 degrees.
Jamie
