I am from saltspring island and new to salt fishin.I had few hits on outside of Galliano near porlier pass.Any other suggestions?I was in 180feet and using glo hoochies and flasher.One boat landed a 17lb the next day. also caught a few large lings,but of course they are closed and were released.Is it hard to get good hooksets when fishin winter feeders?

boatman....

I am not too sure about Winter fishing on that side and never hear too much in the way of reports.

Keep an eye on this website http://www.silverbluecharters.com/latest.php

In not too terribly long you may want to start heading up a bit further north to the Thasher rock area and try your luck up there.

I don't know that I would be doing too much winter fishing inside the Gulf Island but more on the perimeter to the south, and east........but again I have never done any winter fishing in the islands.

You may want to try on this other forum as there are a few more "islanders" lurking around that may be able to help you out.

Good luck and make sure you let us know how you are making out.

yah,I'v heard the outside of the islands are better,but it gets costly running that far all the time.Gas is expensive out here..1.30per litre.

Boatman: I not much of a salmon fisherman but I have read that chinook winter feeders like to feed off the south end of reefs, islands where the feed gathers together.
and they are usually found deep.....50 - 70 metres.
Looks like you found some off Galiano...javascript:void(0);
