Yesterday was an epic day for chinook fishing in Vancouver!  Eddie was out on the water and hooked up 7 springs, including a tripple header with 2 chinook and 1 coho.  A boat next to Eddie had a quad, yes a quad, and multiple other boats were into good numbers of chinook salmon throughout the…

Sockeye officially opened this morning and already there have been reports of decent numbers of fish caught off the Fraser.  Prior to the opening we were catching sockeye while using spoons and bait targeting other species like chinook and coho, so that is a pretty good indicator at the numbers of fish around.  The daily…

Over the last few weeks fishing has been spotty in the Vancouver area…however…..over the last few days we have experienced some big improvements in local fishing results. We have 4 species of salmon in local waters right now so it’s time to get out on the water and fish! Coho, Pinks, Chinooks and Sockeye OH…

Well we have been guiding like mad men the last few weeks from dawn till dusk catching socks (sockeye), humps (pink), and springs (chinook)!  Fishing has been rock solid with great catches on every charter.  We have been targeting the sockeye with multiple flashers and 18-28 inch leaders with pink hootchies.  By multiple flashers we…

Over the last few days the Pacific Angler Saltwater Guide Team has been fishing several different areas. We have fished West Vancouver, the Hole in the Wall to Sunset Beach in Howe Sound, the Point Grey Bell Buoy, the T10 Marker, the QA and the Mile Markers and Gabriola Island. Gabriola Island continues to produce…

Hello fishing fans! Again, we’ve been delinquent at filing reports…tsk tsk….got to do something about that…maybe cut off someone’s beer supply and that’ll teach ’em! Haha! Since our last report, we’ve been fishing a multitude of areas. However, given our recent efforts, we’ve found the best area to be fishing is the Eastern Shoreline of Gabriola Island…

Well June was the “Month of Gabriola” this year as the bulk of our fishing efforts were in this area.  The chinook fishing was generally good to excellent with even a few fish hitting the box on the slow days and on the good days we were hooking double digits and limiting out on nice…

I was back out on the water on 10 hour charters on Monday and Tuesday at Gabriola and Eddie was on a 5 hour charter on Wednesday in local waters.  The fishing at Gabriola continues to be good for chinook salmon in the 10-25lb range. At Gabriola on Monday we hooked 5 and landed 3…

We were scheduled to head out Thursday with some of our regular clients, Tim, Doug, and Chris and as the day came to a close on Wednesday I wasn’t too happy with the wind forecast.  We had already postponed a few winter spring trips with this group earlier in the year due to strong wind…

The Pacific Angler Pro Staff had a rare day off yesterday, so we did what we always do on our day off.  We went fishing of course!  It’s not very often that the staff here at Pacific Angler get the chance to actually fish together because we are usually too busy covering each others shifts…
