STRUCTURE
Drop Off
Outer Exposed

Cape Gurney is an outer-exposed rock drop-off off Comox, British Columbia, where the bottom falls from roughly 260 to 660 feet along a hard, structured edge. The site holds lingcod through its winter and summer peaks in January to March and May to September, with Pacific halibut moving through from March to July over the deeper rock. Chinook salmon run strongest June to August and coho May to September, while copper, quillback, and China rockfish, Pacific cod, and resident lingcod hold tight to the structure year-round. Jigging with metal jigs, swimbaits, or leadhead jigs works the drop-off for lingcod, and drift jigging the same edge reaches halibut across the depth range. Salmon come to trolling with anchovy, herring, spoons, or hootchies through the water column above the rock.
