Best area for 3-week salt water fishing adventure?
If time and money were no object, where would you go on the BC coast for a three-week salmon, bottom fish, prawn and crab fishing holiday?
This will be self-contained self-guided trip on a large boat with a smaller fishing vessel, probably a whaler for angling.

Q.C Islands. everything you want to catch can be done there. Top notch accommodations and great fishing.

i charter with David Murphy he is out of Ucluelet and has a lodge on the west coast i have never been disapointed with them for salmon,halibut,Lingcod or any of the other bottom fish or crab if you inquire about them.In my opinion and i have chartered with others David and his guy's out do them hands down

You can't go wrong with the North Coast.

"Self contained on a large boat with smaller fishing vessel"........ Milbank Sound. Great anchorages, Uncrowded, awesome fishing!!
Re: Best area for 3-week salt water fishing adventure?
I'd go to the Broughtons and Knights Inlet. Not a far run to round Cape Caution and head a lil north either.
Re: Best area for 3-week salt water fishing adventure?
Where is the big boat normally moored? No sense cruising past a bunch of awesome fishing on your way to QC if the boat is moored down here.

Boat is down south but they like the north/central coast in general.

Thanks Salty, I know that area a bit. Seined salmon on a Sointula boat in the area and also commercial-fished crab and prawn there too. Before the salmon farms anchored on the good spots though.
Re: Best area for 3-week salt water fishing adventure?
Ya the salmon farms messed up some cool spots all right Michel. There's still tons of good all weather anchorages in the Broughtons though. There's also quite a few logging landings closer to the mainland not used at a given time as you probably know. Its all water access logging there's no roads in the area just short haul roads that lead to the log dumps most of them have a decent dock. There's also an old govt dock south of Knights.. Minstral Island? iirc
