Fishing Tofino
« on: June 17, 2013, 08:39:33 PM »
Hey guys

Going to Tofino next week. I am wondering about shore fishing spots?..  I will be looking for rocky shores, casting buzz bombs... Other than that, I do not really know...Any advice on places to go? gear to use? setups? would be much appreciated ..

Thanks everyone

If you just google your question, you'll find a bunch of hits for Tonquin Beach.  I plan to be there in August myself for the first time.  Looking forward to exploring Tonquin, Chesterman and Long beaches.

High slack tide off the rocks at Tonquin. Go below the houses at the far right side of the beach. You'll see an outcropping  rock sub surface or fully exposed at low tide, cast in that direction and see what you get. I wouldnt recommend Frank Island off Chesterman or Middlebeach, fun to explore but not productive. Good luck.

There is a tall church across the street from the statue

with crosses, steeples, bells and a vast door that looks like

 a huge mousehole, perhaps from a Tom and Jerry cartoon,

 and written above the door is "Per L'Universo."

 Around five o'clock in the afternoon of my cover for

Trout Fishing in America, people gather in the park across

 the street from the church and they are hungry.

It's sandwich time for the poor.

But they cannot cross the street until the signal is given.

Then they all run across the street to the church and get

their sandwiches that are wrapped in newspaper.

I've thought about doing this while we were in Tofino last month, but ran out of time. It shouldn't be difficult to find a lemon sole, greenling, Pacific cod, perch, small lingcod or rockfish from the beaches and rocks... After we finished our charter trip, we could see schools of pile perch underneath the fish cleaning station. It would have been very fun to catch those on the light spinning outfit or a pole.

Back inthe seventies a good part of Tonquin was a nude beach.  Never did try fishing  ::)
