Vancouver Island Trip

We just got back from our annual Tofino fishing trip. Here is a pic of our best day. We limited both days but this day was the best.

 Nice catch, my uncle just got back from Nootka, they've had a good season there this year as well. They brought back 7 springs to 29# and six coho, caught a couple dozen wild coho also.

Nice haul!  Looks like you are around the Blue Heron at the Weigh West Marine Resort.  Tofino is always a great place to trip to.

Are those two between the salmon and halibut sablefish?
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

 Ling Cod. Average Sablefish is 5-6 lbs and darker, caudal fins are different, much narrower and overall darker in color than a ling.

We go with a guide. I have taken a boat up there but found it the same price as using a guide and a whole lot easier on us. The ferry ride, moorage, gear for the trip, gas, boat stuff purchases before the trip all add up to close to using a guide. Here is our first day of fishing. The guide is the best I have fished with. His name is Bobby Kimoto of Bobby Kimoto Charters. Tell him I recommended him if anyone calls him.
