Re: TELEGRAPH COVE (Alert Bay, Johnstone Straight) AREA HALIBUT?
Hey Man, well there is some good and bad news for you. I was just up at the telegraph cove area back from my trip to alaska. We stopped and fished bold head, east crawcroft, and the backside of malcom. Fishing was REALLY slow. We only caught one king in 6 hours of fishing. (it was a 5 pound jack) but we did manage to get some nice coho off lizzard point. If i were trying for halibut, give the back side of malcom a try, especially off the mudslide. Another area would been green rocks and pine island. However, this is more of the port hardy area. Bottom line is...if your going to try to fish halibut now, your a little bit too late. Good luck and let me know how it turns out.
Re: TELEGRAPH COVE (Alert Bay, Johnstone Straight) AREA HALIBUT?
wow, havent bin on here for like a year! just remebered i made a post and you requested a report. We ended up having our best rip ever and ccaught a 120 pound hali and 38 legal springs in 9 days, biggest being 36 pounds. All off malcolm, we outfished most of the biats and guides around. We were letting numerous 20 pounders go near the end of the trip... Was an outstanding trip, now its almost already to the time for the next one! Heres a pic of our hali. Lost one the day before just as big too! fouund a real honey hole..... This trip was between august 20-30 just so you know, this thread is quite old.
