Mooching Live Squid = NON-STOP Salmon Action!

Is there a better bait for Salmon than live squid? We’re heading deep into the heart of Nootka Sound to find out! In this episode of Reel West Coast, Brendan and the crew are joined by a very special guest—Brendan’s wife, Erin! We’re hosted by the incredible team at Nootka Marine Adventures, staying at the beautiful Nootka Sound Resort. The day starts with standard jigging for Salmon, but things take a wild turn when the sounder lights up with massive clouds of squid. We quickly pivot, jigging up live squid and immediately mooching them for hungry West Coast Salmon. This "match the hatch" strategy proves to be a game-changer! In this episode, you’ll see: The stunning floating wilderness of Nootka Sound Resort. How to identify squid on your electronics. The technique for jigging and rigging live squid for Salmon. Multiple double-headers and hard-fighting Chinook. A behind-the-scenes look at fishing with the family in BC’s rugged wilderness. If you’re planning a trip to Vancouver Island or want to learn more about British Columbia salmon fishing, this is an episode you can't miss. #ReelWestCoast #NootkaSound #SalmonFishing #LiveBait #SquidJigging #VancouverIsland #FishingBC #NootkaMarineAdventures #ChinookSalmon #fishinghacks
