- Vancouver Island's Tofino in British Columbia offers excellent saltwater fishing opportunities for a variety of species including salmon, halibut, lingcod and rockfish. We explored inshore coho salmon fishing in September by casting and retrieving jigs and spoons. Beside coho salmon, they also encounter many other species including lingcod, rockfish, greenling, perch and sole.

Episode #2 of 2018 features Tofino's diverse saltwater fishing opportunities! We'd like to thank Jeff Hale from Braedy Mack fishing Charters for taking us out. Not only is he an awesome angler, he is one of the nicest individual who we've fished with. Enjoy the show and thank you for the support once again!
Rod and kitty u did a really good gob on this video keep up the good work
Thank you Purple Midget!
You're the luckiest man in the world rod. Fishing with good buddies whenever you want in the Pacific Northwest... lucky man
Watching you for years and somehow I missed this one and it's a banger. I love Tofino I love the island I love fishing I love fishing with rod lol.
Thank you. We were just in Tofino again this past week and there is another episode featuring the area this fall. 🙂

It feels like yesterday!

Good to hear! :)

Thanks Marcus!
Rod seriously, take me fishing! So jealous!
When you move to Bella Bella, it'll be you who's going to take me fishing. ;)
I enjoyed this video very much! Multi-species in a trip is like a year of fishing to me. More vid guys! I'm a your big fan. :)
Thank you Melvin, glad you enjoyed it! :)
had fun watching !
Great! :)

Thanks Ernie!
Awesome video! That looked like a ton of fun!
It was a pretty awesome trip! Thanks! :)
Hey Rod, always enjoy your vids. Have you ever been to Maligne lake in Jasper? Would love to see a video about that lake as i will be fishing there again this summer.
Greetzzz from the Netherlands
Should have added a stinger hook to your power paddles. You were probably missing them as they were grabbing just the tail and the hook is higher up on the body. Great Vid
Yeah for sure. Usually with the lingcod we don't really have a problem keeping the fish on but this particular fish (assuming it was the same one coming back four times) was very likely to be a halibut. Past halibut caught on this have fallen off pretty often. The smaller Power Paddles do come with two hooks with the second one extending further down to the tail.
that was tight guys
Yes!
Thanks for the video. Awesome cinematography as always. In the video they mentioned coho salmon near the two rivers. Would this type of casting opportunity exist on the west coast trail between Bamfield and Port Renfrew? Also, post some videos of sea urchin and uni! It’s such an under appreciated delicacy right here on the Bc coast! Thanks again for sharing!
Hi Gary, I've never done the West Coast Trail so don't really know, but I'm sure there are casting opportunities available! You should be able to find species like surf perch, soles, rockfish, greenling. For coho salmon, it's very time specific for them to be that close to shore. Mid September is usually when they are encountered. I know down in Port Renfrew, cutthroat trout fishing at creek mouths can also be good. Love uni!!! Actually I just love to eat all seafood.... :)
Nice video I really enjoyed it!
Thanks! Good to hear! :)
Great video loved it
Thank you!
The Greenling taste much like sole.
I’ve actually never eaten a greenling. I should try, many of my friends have said that it is good. I would think it’s like a delicate small lingcod.
Hi Rod, how can we take advantage of the tide to fish? should we go against or with the tide when trolling?
Love the multi-species suspense! Don't know what you're gonna get. Keep up the great work rod and kitty. I really like the 2017 aerial drone shots...I'm assuming it's hard to deploy during the action.
Thanks! I don't fly the drone very often, only when everything is fairly controlled.
Why are you eating steak?! You just caught a bunch of gorgeous fish!
Because I love steaks, so almost always eat it during each trip! ;) We usually don't prep the fish until we get home.
Best episode to date. Trolling is boring to watch. Great job I think this episode is up a level keep it up.
Thank you! :)
Great vid Rod. I have caught a few ling cods before but never a green one like the first one in the video. What causes them to be green like that?
Thanks
Thanks. :) Diet is the cause of the colouration difference.
ah okay thanks
ah ok thank you
What bait or lures did you use for this video for salmon?
We were casting and retrieving spoons and jigs that are between 1/2 and 1oz. These imitate baitfish found around kelp beds (eg. herring, needlefish, anchovies, etc). For the bigger lingcod in deep water, we were jigging with large swimbaits, specifically Gibbs Delta Tackle's Power Paddles (16oz). These are the best lures you can use if you want to selectively target large lingcod.
Fishing with Rod Thanks
Do you take clients out yourself
Sorry I don’t actually as I am not a fishing guide. 😊 I know lots of them who I can recommend though.
I will get ahold of you when I am able to go and do what's on my bucket list of things to
Too do
multi species is the only way to do it
Yeah!
That was snagging to the bottom lol
No.
Fish on the line? That's cool whatever. LOOK AT THE OTHER ONES! love it. I'm the same way. Catching is great. Seeing them is also great. Just stoked to be in the adventure.
Wow... I would love to make a salmon video like that in the Pac NW
Do it! :)
Trip of a lifetime,hi from ireland
Thanks Eileen! :)
