I fished out of Tahsis for a week last summer, with success that did not equal my hope.

There were three main areas, inside the inlet along the south wall, around the Pinnacles and Ferrier Point. None of the areas were a secret as most looked like Bouy 10 on a crowded day.

Had less than stellar luck. Lost a king to a boat that ran over my lines despite repeated yelling. Lost another that ran under the boat and frayed my line on the bottom.

We picked up a few fish but didn't do as well as most. Saw plenty of boats get their limits and head home. Appeared we were doing the same as everyone else, but I swear there must have been a local secret scent or spin that equalled success. Next time, I might show up without a boat and pay for a guided trip just to figure out what I was doing different.
