And please waste no time, with a 2024 election happening south of the border there is sure to be a whole raft of new mandates and lockdowns and other stupidities coming right up!!!!

The desired lockdowns might bar us the little people from heading west fishing. If you an avid CBC guy then wont make sense, is the brainwashing station. People wailing “COVID VARIANT.. COVID VARIANT…. Even when there was only 6 documented cases around the world of the type in the spotlight. 2024??? Covid psydeuo panic causing liberal desired mail in ballot…. At least watch some Fox news man, possibly you can balance it out a little
No bites… ill just hafta go see how it really is myself!!!
UCLUELET HERE WE COME!!!
Yes minda late but the Stamp River run coming right up! I keep hearing stories of utterly steller chinook runs… even Skeena country!
Oh darn… this post could affect my social credit svore a couple years from now

Your post got my attention. 15 years ago i was one of the people on the forum who dreamed of getting out on the west coast to fish .My wife and I had been out to the coast a few times and chartered a boat for a few hours and i got hooked. When we went to the local sportsman shows and talked to the west coast guides, I found they were always booked for the best times at least a year in advance and to be honest, we could not afford to book these guides for as long as i would like to fish. So I spent 2 years on the internet researching boats and finally bit the bullit on an ocean worthy craft in Seattle. For the last ten years my wife and i have made an annual trip to Prince Rupert to fish the ocean. Every time we go we stay for about a week and get our fair share of fish. I fished Alberta waters for over 35 years before i tried to take my own boat on the ocean. To say it was a steep learning curve would be an understatement. Sadly due to a family illness we did not get out to the coast this summer, but I hope to get back there next year and hopefully by then i can figure out how to post photos on the forum.

I wet my salmon feet in the Skeena, such BIGGGGGGG fish! Our camp record was 57 pounds and camp beside us best us by a good pound, before i switched to braid! A 30 lber a day on the riverbank.
Ya, i wanted to get a boat too, but i want everything. Havent done it yet. trudeau and his WEF friends dont want us to, want us to stay home to reduce our carbon footprint while he flys all over the world making a fool of himself and all of Canada.
Im selling the lake boat, cuz i never use, and getting something that i can at least think about using inshore, ideally something to get out a few miles when the forecast is very fair. I see some great deals sometimes.
What did you have to do to get your craft imported?

Haida Gwaii is fishing well right now. Tons of coho. Plenty of Chinook.
Good times.

Had our best season on Chinook EVER. Just bananas how many were out there this year. Aboard my boat (Ms Heather 3) between June 4 and aug 23 or so I don't think there was a day we didn't limit on Chinook, most days by 930-10am or so! Will post a big report once the season settles down. Lingcod and Halibut were great too, lots of perfect sized (30-60lb) hali's. Targeting Coho and Tuna now!

I totally agree. It's been the best salmon fishing I've seen in the 19 years that I've fished the west coast. Limits of springs before first coffee. Left lots of time for halibut and ling cod fishing.
Only got out tuna fishing twice this year but caught more than enough tuna to last the year and share with friends and family.
Tuna fishing is an amazing fishery. Early mornings, late nights, lots of blood and worn out fishermen by the time all fish are processed.

Looking forward to it! We were up at Hardy 2nd week of July and caught the tail end of a crazy chinook run. Leaves a lot of time to bottom fish after limiting out so quick! Nice mid teen eaters. Did you find any monster chinook?
