In the past few years, after the end of July, you weren't allowed to keep adult chinook in around the islands. You had to be at least a mile out on the banks. At least around Ucluelot. The fishing is good out on the banks, but seas can get bumpy(I don't know what size boat you have)

If you want to target chinook jigging around the islands(at times awesome), I would say July would be a better month. I would call the local resort, or get a copy of the regs, it might help make your decision.
