Jigging, drifting, or trolling just off the bottom with cut plug herring has been producing steady numbers and varieties of bottom fish. Halibut, lingcod, and yelloweye fishing has been very good 3 to 4 miles off Burdwood to Escalante. Try the Tomic 5-in 602 or the new CRVP #294 for spoons, and go with the 4-in Coyote Watermelon or the Live Image. However, some spoons and plugs are starting to work as well. Lots of adipose-clipped Chinook are showing up on the dock thanks to the great hatchery programs efforts in the U.S.Ī combination of flasher and straight white or glow white needlefish hoochies and/or anchovy and flasher are still producing the best for salmon.

We are encountering bellies full of squid and needlefish in both species of salmon, so we have been sticking to small baits and glow hoochies. Coho are anywhere from 25 to 85 ft on random feeding programs. Fishing on the inside is really picking up, but the fish are shallower, in the 35- to 55-ft range in the early mornings, then dropping deeper in the mid-afternoon down to 65- to 95-ft range. Spring salmon on the outside will remain deeper (in the 55- to 85-ft range) where the water temperature is 6 degrees colder. Popular areas continue to produce, with Wash Rock, Maquinna Point, Beano Creek, and the open area of Bajo Reef continuing to be the hot spots.
Bottom fishing has also been on fire, with chicken halibut in the 25- to 45-lb range seemingly everywhere outside of Maquinna Point and out on the reef. If the forecasts are correct, fishing should remain excellent throughout the rest of our season both on the inside and outside waters. July fishing remains outstanding, with limits of Chinook in the 22- to 28-lb range, and Coho in the 8- to 10-lb range hitting our docks every day. The waters of Nootka Sound (along with many other locations along the west coast) were teeming with life as multitudes of mature Pacific Herring came to spawn on various kelp, gravel, eelgrass, and rock beds, producing what will become even greater opportunity for the resident and migratory fish alike- not to mention us anglers! We’re all very excited for another fantastic year out of Nootka Sound and Esperanza, and you should be too. The herring spawn along coastal regions was said to have been the strongest since the mid-1970s. It is not the function of the Board to assign fault or determine civil or criminal liability.The spring of 2022 marked something even more exciting for all things living in west coast Vancouver Island aquatic ecosystems. Its sole aim is the advancement of transportation safety. The TSB is an independent agency that investigates air, marine, pipeline, and rail transportation occurrences. The Board considers all representations before approving the final report, which is subsequently released to the public.įor more information, see our Investigation process page. They then have the opportunity to dispute or correct information they believe to be incorrect. Report phase: a confidential draft report is approved by the Board and sent to persons and corporations who are directly concerned by the report.
When safety deficiencies are suspected or confirmed, the TSB advises the appropriate authority without waiting until publication of the final report. Examination and analysis phase: the TSB reviews pertinent records, tests components of the wreckage in the lab, determines the sequence of events and identifies safety deficiencies.
Field phase: a team of investigators examines the occurrence site and wreckage, interviews witnesses and collects pertinent information.There are 3 phases to a TSB investigation For more information, see the Policy on Occurrence Classification. Class 2 investigations, which frequently result in recommendations, are generally completed within 600 days. These investigations are complex and involve several safety issues requiring in-depth analysis.
