In our last report we talked about the slower start to the chinook fishery this late April and hoped that perhaps the fish were just a few weeks behind, just like the rest of mother nature this year. Well it looks like that was the case as the fish showed up a few weeks back…

April in Review and May Looking Forward
April turned out to be an interesting month. It was so cold it felt more like February or March then April! All in all there was some good fishing for those who braved the cold. Earlier in the month we had some good fishing off W. Van, the Freighters and Bell Buoy area, and some…
April 9: Vancouver Fishing
Our local fishing has picked up in a major way over the last few days and the size of fish has bumped up a couple of notches as well! The majority of fish which have been landed on the last few trips have been in the 14-25 pound mark! Over the last couple of weeks…
March Update on Springs
Most of this month has seen some decent action but you definitely need to be out there on the right day. It will be slow for a few days and then it seems like some fish move into the area and fishing is good for a day or two. Like most fishing, timing is everything,…
Feb 27th 2011: Winter Spring Action!
It snowed hard all night and when I went down to the boat this morning it was covered in a foot of snow and it was still coming down. I was wondering if I had made the wrong call, fishing fever can cloud your judgement, but there was no turning back now. As the sun…

January 23 Vancouver- The Bite Goes On…..
Well..what can I say..when fishing guides start talking when they’re not on charter, the subject invariably comes around to…F I S H I N G. Fancy that eh? So…with the consistent fishing in the last three weeks and the Salty Dawg unbooked this afternoon, Captain Eddie and myself decided we’d head out for a short…
Jan. 22 Gulf Islands Report
A fun day today! The Salty Dawg with Guides Jason T. and Andrew on board headed over to the Gulf Islands to check in on the action–it’s a bit early for this fishery but RECON pays dividends when it comes to providing our guests the best results. It was a late start today, but we decided we’d head over anyways. …
