Ucluelet - Saltwater Fishing Report
Ucluelet Halibut fishing during September stayed hot throughout the month which seems to be a trend in recent years. We didn't do a lot of days offshore but when we did the halibut fishing was fast and the guests were stoked! You never really know what September fishing is going to bring.
This September the Chinook salmon fishing was decent up until Sept 10 like the trend has been and the lingcod moved in and our guides had some good days with my favorite white meat.
The coho were around until mid September though not in large numbers. Normally we see a fair amount on Big Bank though we didn't find them on the few days we were out for halibut.
We had a little patch of strong northwest winds early September which wasn't normal so that kept us fishing close to shore for the first week. Overall the weather was decent and there were some good days with screaming reels.
Below are some pics from the past month.
