Local Saltwater Well, as predicted, things did perk up a bit this week! Some anglers hooked some chinook up in Howe Sound and there were a few chinook taken in Vancouver Harbor as well. Productive setups have been glow flashers with a 6 foot leader and a glow spoon, like a Pesca 2.5 or 3.5…

Local Saltwater The wet and windy weather has not been very conducive to heading out and searching for winter chinook, crabs and prawns this past week. It is right about now that we usually see a few fish starting to show up off West Vancouver and around the freighters, so once the rain and the…

Local Saltwater There hasn’t been too much saltwater fishing going on this last week with the sub zero temperatures. When it is freezing during the day the bottom of the boat deck basically turns into an ice rink. It can be a deadly endeavour trying to get to the back of the boat to work…

Local Saltwater With the unsettled weather typical for this time of the year we haven’t heard a lot from the local saltwater. A few boats have gone out in search of the first winter chinook but other than a few undersized fish there hasn’t been much to report. Prawning has been the most productive part…

Local Saltwater This past week have had a few reports of the first winter chinook being caught. Don’t go rushing down to the dock and blow the leaves of your boat and race out there though! It is still early for this fishery and the best fishing will be from late December to early April….

Local Saltwater With the sunny weather finally upon us, we headed out on the water this week to check out the local fishing and give the boats a good run. Both fishing and crabbing were slow but it was great to get out on the water and enjoy the sunshine! There are reports of good…

Local Saltwater While many people are starting the countdown to Christmas, we’re starting the countdown to the winter chinook season. Our saltwater guides are in fishing withdrawal so even though we are a few weeks out from the start of the winter chinook season we’re hoping to get out this weekend and do some prospecting…

Local Saltwater As with our report last Friday we have had very little reported from the local saltwater scene in the last week. While we are waiting for the winter fish to arrive, we’re busy working on the boats and getting the gear ready in anticipation of getting out on the water. Winter is soon…

Local Saltwater We have had very little reported from local saltwater fishing in the last week. We are looking ahead to next season and starting our fall maintenance on our boats after a great 2014 of local saltwater fishing! It will be a few weeks before winter chinook salmon start showing up locally. We will…

Local Saltwater It seems that fall is here with the steady rains starting up. We had a few nice rain free days last week despite the gloomy forecast. The fishing has been a little slower over the last 2 weeks, but you can still hope to hook up to at least a couple of nice…
