south end of bowen, bell bouy, and west van shorline should produce some salmon
bluebacks should be stacking infrot of the Cap. if you need more shelter maybe hole in the wall but i've never caught anything there.

or... if you have the Boat ,fuel and the time. you could try Hut Island on the northeast end of Bowen,
Trolling  coyotes spoons or dark hoochies behind hot spot flasher   at about 75ft feet should be a great place to start.Watch your sounder for bottom contours and look for feed stacks.

I think if can even drop a prawn or two now, after years of closures, I'm told you can do quite well.
