The Westview Marina & Lodge has their Fishing Report from July until early August, read the full report below:
Typical high pressure winds kept some boats inshore fishing Ferrer with GREAT Success in early July. Once the fleet could get to the HYW things really caught fire. All the Hot Spots lite up Whales Tale, The Tee, Onion, etc. On August 3 the Chinook/King/Spring & Coho/Silvers moved on shore in huge numbers. Why? The answer is large schools of fire cracker herring move into Esperanza Inlet and the Salmon followed them in. From Pin Rks. over to outer Black Rk. and all across the outside of Catala Is. extending inward all the way to Saltery Bay CATCHING is HOT! Yes those who have fished Esperanza for years are saying it’s been a long time since they have seen the Fishing/Catching this GOOD! Everybody is limiting on Salmon!! Chinook/Kings are averaging 25lbs and 12lb Coho/Silvers are common.
This is a considerable jump in size over recent years. By early September we are expecting Coho in the 18-22lb range. Come get your share!!!
