Bamfield - Cape Beale - Vancouver Island

Talked with another customer who called us from the water this evening fishing 7 Mile Bank out of Bamfield on the SW corner of Vancouver Island to place a pick up order for one of his friends coming up latter in the week. It sounded like the offshore fishing was about as good as you could stand with lots of Chinook in the 15 to 30 pound range and all the coho in the 6 -8 pound range that you would want to catch. From what he was ordering it sounded as if the "New" Gold Star KF 4 Light in the Yellowtail finish was the item that was doing the duty.

The one bleak report that he had was to say he put in a great deal of time trying to boat a halibut or two for the locker and was not able to connect. The poorer halibut fishing is one common thread that seems to be repeating itself on an all to regular basis from this area.
