All along the Pacific Coast, from Oregon to the extreme reaches of
the Aleutian Islands in Alaska, the continental Shelf pulses wth halibut.
This main artery of the Pacific Ocean provides opportunity for halibut
to gorge themselves on easy meals. It also provides sport for anglers
who want to test strength and wits against these bottom denizens.Halibut fishing
Tips.
Vancouver Island BC, is situated along the
continental shelf and is a halibut fishing destination of choice around
the world. We target halibut offshore of Kyuquot sound which is remote
even as fishing destinations go and is relatively difficult to access.
That adds up to no crowds, and reduced pressure on halibut stocks.
Consequently the halibut fishing is as good as you will find on Vancouver
Islands coastline. Chicken halibut up to 25 lbs are plentiful with
larger fish ranging from 60 to to 200 lbs.
The beauty of fishing outside Kyuquot sound
is you don't have to run 20 miles offshore before you can put a line
down. 12 miles out is the max as the continental shelf drops off to
2000 ft and much of our fishing is done well within 12 miles out.
And you never have to fish more than 200 ft deep.
