The salmon and halibut seem to be changing places quite often. Sometimes they are on Lighthouse bank, sometimes Big Bank, sometimes Long Beach bank. You never know from day to day where they are going to be. Therefore, you need to be ready to move if they are not biting right away. We are trolling 4 inch spoons, needle fish hutchies, regular hutchies and as well some Tomic plugs. We are still trolling mostly on the bottom, however, just keep an eye on your depth sounder since the only constant is that fish change places all the time. We are often getting halibut in the same spots we are trolling for salmon. Get out for your fun on the water!

We have been getting Chinook in quite a few different spots this last week including Inside South, Outside South Bank, Lighthouse Bank, Long Beach Bank and Great Bear. The fish seem to be moving around quite a bit and spots often change from day to day. We are mostly trolling the bottom with spoons and hutchies and getting both salmon and halibut in the same spots. We are also getting Chinook up higher as well and this can change from day to day. Halibut have mostly been in the 12-40lb range while coming on the troll. Some days seem to be really great and some a little slower. The good thing is that the halibut are consistently being caught
We expect great things for 2011 in the area of large Chinook (King) salmon. This year is going to see many 4-5 year salmon returning and we are excited. 4-5 year salmon often mean that you are getting more salmon in the 25-45lb range. This always makes the anticipation great! Halibut limits have been set to the same as last year at 1 per day and 2 as your carrying limit.
We didn't do too many trips in early June but will have more pictures soon. Around June 20 we will be fishing every day.

The fish seem to be moving around quite a bit and spots often change from day to day. We are mostly trolling the bottom with spoons and hutchies and getting both salmon and halibut in the same spots. Chinook are ranging from 10-20 lbs and seem to bite in spurts often coming in two at a time. Halibut have mostly been in the 12-40lb range while coming on the troll.

Salmon fishing has been getting quite hot off South Bank and Lighthouse bank. The salmon have moved offshore a few miles chasing the bait. There are a few halibut showing up now which is good to see. Trolling spoons right along the bottom seems to be doing the trick. This is great fishing, so come and get some early season fun in!
