Anybody Out

**phearless** · August 9th, 2008, 08:51 AM

Hey anybody been out for pinks or cutties or whatever on the beaches or in a boat or floating on a log for that matter?

The interior is awsome, but I do miss the salt beaches.
Variety is the spice of life and I like spice!
I guess I will just have to work beach plans in to my holidays from now on.

Until then I will have to live vicariously through all my cyber fishing partners.

I was up in the Port Hardy/McNeill area at the very end of July, start Aug for a few days. Was a blast. My dad was over from Scotland, and we fished the beaches. Fishing was slow at the start, but got better. Pinks were starting to show up in a few spots in better numbers the first few days of August. Still there were some slow periods between fish, but then really fast periods- thats beach fishing!

Anyway, my dad loved it, and even managed to get a nice coho, which i didn't expect. The old bugger managed to out-fish me. Same as usual!

I should be up there right now

This is peak for pinks, and I know a few spots to look for coho as well.

Thanks for the report.
Brings back memories.

Had a blast up north of the island last week, as usual.

Fished the Campbell on 28th Aug- a few pinks, but dark and humpy.
Fished the Quatse for a short while on the 29th, before going to the beach- got a sea run dolly, which was sweet. Dark pinks as well.
Then spent a few days around Cluxewe, early mornings and low tides worked well. Mixture of really bright fish and a few slightly darker ones. Its a blast!
