Ucluelet to Long Beach and Fishing

Today was a very busy and exciting day. After a morning walk and coffee we headed off towards Long Beach.

Along the way we discovered Combers Beach which is all part of the area known as Long Beach. The walk down to the beach is really unique. A lot of it is a constructed beach walkway and as you get closer to the beach the trees and vegetation gets extremely dense; to the point you could not walk through it if you had to. So, there are warnings as you get to the beach to be aware of tides as you could get trapped on the beach in high tide and storm conditions.

Once at the beach to scenery and the landscape is absolutely amazing. Long Beach gets the attention because of the surfing and waves, but this beach is spectacular. Its long and wide and hard to describe in words or in pictures, but take a look.

After a morning at the beach and a long walk we headed back to go out with Canadian Pacific Princess Resorts for an afternoon of bottom fishing. Early in the week it didn’t look like were going to get out fishing as they require a minimum number of fishers on each boat. However, the weather was fantastic and enough guests showed up to go out.

The weather was very good and it was nice and sunny, however the winds picked up and it made for difficult fishing as the boat drifted at about 1 1/2 knots which is very fast for bottom fishing.

In the end we caught three bottom fish which consisted of 2 sea bass and 1 china rock cod.

What a day…………….  it doesn’t get much better than this.
