Greetings again friends and fellow anglers,


Full steam mid-season here in Kyuquot Sound — squid has been the key word all summer, and the fishing's been good to us. The weather, less so: 4 days sun, 6 days rain, repeat. Not the usual for summer.

On the side, we've been out with drones, underwater cams, and 360s capturing the place the way you remember it. Follow along on Instagram (link at bottom of page)— it's some of our best footage yet.

We are in Kyuquot until Sept 5th and open the Stamp River Lodge on September 12th

Still a little room left this season if you need your Murphy's fish fix.

Warm regards from all of us at Murphy's,

David and Marilyn

Fishing with Squid for Chinook

2026 has shaped up to be one of the best squid years in a while. Often nearshore Chinook have mixed prey profiles including baby herring, needle fish and squid, but this year they are super focused on squid and their bellies full of them.

NEW UNDERWATER CAMERA - MORE TO COME!

David has been getting hours of footage of Chinook, Bass and Lingcod taking the lures live. Stay tuned as we develop our new website, we will be posting lots of footage. This is just a sample. He has been posting regularly to instagram as well if you want to follow the journey there.


New DJI Air 3S Drone joins the fleet!  

Here is David and guests aboard the Maverick fishing spring Island. Marilyn is drifting about a mile away with the controller aboard CenterFin, can't say catching it is easy with a sea and a few knots of wind. Bandages handy!

SpotLock GPS sytem with Lowrance Recon Electric motor 

 
David recently installed the Lowrance Recon Electric 36 Volt motor on the bow of the Maverick. No one has done this on the west coast and the results were amazing. So amazing that he took the Halibut anchor system off his boat for the season.

He says find the fish, Spot Lock using handheld remote and catch the fish.
