Elkrun - thanks for the report. I am headed up that way this weekend so was hoping I could pick your brain a bit. The usual questions:

1) What areas do you recommend for the kings. What terminal tackle and what depths?

I used a lot of different things. If I were to go back tomorow, I'd use one of those BIG Gibbs spoons at the tackle shop by the quarterdeck motel. The green and white was pretty good, so was the cop car. Duvall point is good... but ask around, and look for boats, there are lots of them around. There was one spot that seemed to put out more big fish, but I cant remember the name. It is the southern most point in the deserters group of islands... lots of boats there. fish right up against shore.

2) What areas do you recommend for the butts? What terminal tackle?

caught all the butts on taylor bank. you'll find it south of the deserters group of islands about 7 miles. move until you find fish, we used herring.

I just got back from Nootka Sound a week ago and know what worked for us up there, but don't know if its the same setup at Port Hardy. I am particularly intersted in butts since I've already done well on the kings this summer, but have never caught a butt over 10 lbs.

You should be able to catch a few butts if you put in the time. The wind will start blowing at exactly 3pm! You could set your watch by it. The fog came in quickly a couple of times, but it went away just as fast. Nice people, they'll help you out if you ask. have fun.

Thanks in advance for the info.
