For all of those that are coming to b.c. (that's bring cash) Fishing on the west coast has been decent. Have had buddies out off of ucluelet this past week and they did well for both halibut and chinooks. First day by 8.30 am they had 4 chinook and 5 halibut in the boat . It just got better from there. His quote was "awesome!! really kinda stupid" Every time they put the gear down into another fish. They were fishing at both southbank and also somewhere 26miles out. I am not going so didn't ask all the particulars, but he said the water was good (not much wind) and weather was great. Hope this helps anybody that's going soon
