Anyone have any recent reports from Prince Rupert? We are heading out Friday for 4 days of fishing. Latest we have ever gone. Buddy and mines schedules didn't allow us to get out for prime time chinook fishing this year and due to other commitments, the last couple weeks of August were our best bet to get out so we thought we would go and try something different and maybe try a little casting for coho. Hopefully the big northerns are starting to show up.
I have a friend at rupert right now. He is having luck up towards dundas but really having problems with the weather. Lots of days when the waves worked him over.

I just got back from Duncanby
We were still catching Chinooks. 4 Tyee.
Incredible amounts of COHO 12 - 13 pounds.
Halibut were slow. Largest caught was about 12 pounds.
Rockfish were over the top. I have never caught so many in my life.
Unbelievable fishing.
Just got back from three days at Rupert. We ran up to dundas and got our limit of coho. Largest was 13 lbs. This trip we tried comparing teaser heads to cut plug. The clear winner was cut plug herring. Not only did the teaser head catch fewer fish but they were also much smaller. Out last day we went on the outside and caught 3 halibut and one ling. The weather was perfect and it was a great way to end the season.
Interesting observation about the cut plug, i noticed one day we seemingly outfished a lot of the other boats at the mouth of the work channel running mainly cut plugs as well.

Very interesting observation. Were you running both the teaser head and the cut plug behind flashers? Also were you using herring in your teaser heads or anchovies?
