I don't think we should give up on the QC yet. We just don't have enough research into the area yet. If it means that more people will come if we go to the main island, then it would be good to switch sites. I still think though, that our potential for big fish and large populations is to go to QC. That being said, I love the west side of the island. Hopefully Tyler could enlighten us about the fishing potential in his area. There are some closures for finfish in that area, during the time of year we would be going, which we could probably work around, but something to consider:
From DFO
Muchalat Inlet east of a line from the Gold River harbour limit is closed to fishing for all finfish, July 15 to October 15.
Those waters of Kendrick Inlet northwesterly of a line from Boston Point to
Salter Point on the southern tip of Strange Island are closed to fishing for all

The waters inside a line drawn between square white fishing boundary signs
on the opposite sides of the entrance to Nesook bay; and the waters inside a
line drawn between square white fishing boundary signs on the opposite sides
of the entrance to Head Bay, and the waters inside a line drawn between white
fishing boundary signs on the opposite sides of the entrance to Hisnit Inlet are
closed to fishing for all finfish July 15 to October 15.

Strange Island to a boundary sign on the opposite shore of Tahsis Inlet and
bounded on the south by a line from Salter Point on the southern tip of Strange
