Troll caught number 1's. Beautiful, bright and tasty.Troll is the most ethical fishery. What should I have fed them because I sure wasn't going to serve up farm rubbish? (Didn't you buy some "over the fence"?)

Yup

Ucluelet fishing Report:

The May Long weekend is almost a wrap and the Crew @ Big Bear lit things up this weekend.  Our relief guide Chris Scales posted a pair of beauties weighing in at 27.8 & 27.7 lbs to take first and second on the Ucluelet Ladder Derby Board. Congratulations to Colin Shore and Brad Sarauer for a job well done on landing these quality early season Chinook.  Darren Dickenson and Robert Higgins took a 24.10 and a 23.10 to hold 3rd and 4th place respectively.  There were a lot of fish weighed in making this May one to remember.

Fishing was solid on both the inshore areas as well as offshore.  Sail Rk, Austin Island  and Cree were all holding quality Chinook.  Needle fish hootchies in the splatterback, glow green, and green oil slick all produced quality springs.  Depths ranged from 60 ft to 130 ft.  We found that the fish were liking a bit of a slower troll.  Tide change during the am produced the most action.
Offshore fishing remains excellent with Long Beach being the best for consistent fishing.  Trolling right along the bottom with the white Turd was taking both Chinook to 20 lbs and Halibut to 40 lbs.  The Blue/Chrome coyote was also doing its job fished with a blue chrome hotspot flasher.  Halibut were hitting the octopus on the 16 oz jig head when the drift was favorable.
Our new ride is in full fabrication and will be online and ready to go for the 3rd week of June.  Look to book a trip of up to 6 people on our new 30 ft 300 cuddy king Weldcraft.  This will truly be the way “To Go” when fishing in comfortability.
Our early season special of $997.00 will expire at the end of May so take advantage of these great savings and book your trip of a life time.
Cheers,
The Crew @ Big Bear

They were BC fish Dave, individually frozen 6 ounce portions, vacuum packed from a wholesaler. One of the guys on our team sourced them as at this time of year the only fresh thing available is, well, you know - frankenfish.

I wont buy Alaskan wild caught sockeye either for that reason. . Good choice NB.

Hamburgers and hotdogs   I agree with your thoughts on troll caught salmon but were these BC or Alaskan sockeye?  Fresh or frozen?  If these were indeed BC fish and fresh, most likely they would be early summers bound for upper Fraser River tributaries; all of these stocks are considered weak and are one of the reasons the institution of DFO's wild salmon policy is in limbo.

If they were Alaskan fish, well ... should have served hamburgers and hotdogs, IMO

They were BC fish Dave, individually frozen 6 ounce portions, vacuum packed from a wholesaler. One of the guys on our team sourced them as at this time of year the only fresh thing available is, well, you know - frankenfish. We asked what they wanted us to serve them and sockeye was the first choice. I'm looking forward to our Japanese tour in 2014. Wonder what they'll feed us..
(I'm hoping for Kobe beef)

Just an update.

We went to the open fishing course from the fishery at gofishbc. It was really cheap and they supply everything including rods if you want them. Besides learning a lot of tricks about fishing, we caught  12 fish between us.

Then yesterday morning, we went back to the Lake for a little more fishing. Success! We both caught fish! 

It was really exciting and a great morning for us. Thanks a lot for taking the time to post your tips and places for us to fish. We are looking forward to trying them all out.

Never fished there but I have walked there several times. Seen fish moving around near the rocks. There isn't much in the way of waves but the current can be really strong at the turn of the tides so watch out for that. It mskes sense that pinks would come up there as it is part of the Fraser Delta.

maybe the were copper river fish outta alaska  !
