Local Saltwater We’re well into October and we’ve had no rain since my last report. This means the fish have remained in the salt water and we can still target them. We have had a little slower fishing due to the strong tides. We’ve also lost some fish going home with anglers for dinner but…

Local Saltwater As I forecast in the last report, the first good rains of the season pushed most of the stale fish up the river. Shortly after the rains last week we had more fish arrive and there are some chrome beauties out there! As usual, some days the fish are very active and some…

Local Saltwater We are nearing the end of Sockeye fest 2014 at the end off the month and a lot of our guests are well stocked up with fish. We’ve now been fishing one of my favorite fisheries, which is for the big chinook! They can be found as far as the South Arm of…

Local Saltwater Fishing has been good this last week with a nice mix of sockeye and chinook. There are some huge sockeye down off the South Arm of the Fraser and we have been making the run down there in the morning to pick up some of these nice fish. Sockeye don’t get much bigger…

Local Saltwater The sockeye season continues in our local waters with tons of schools off the North and South Arm. The other day as I headed out from our dock in Coal Harbour, I spotted what looked like a school of sockeye on the sounder. Sure enough a couple of sockeye jumped out of the…

Local Saltwater The 2014 sockeye season has been awesome! As is with all types of fishing, there has been a few slow days with a few fish hooked but a lot of days where we’ve been filling the box with our guest’s limits. Most of the fishing has been off the North Arm of the…

The saltwater fishing over the past week has been excellent. Sockeye fishing from the North Arm down to Sand Heads has been getting better day by day. Jason and I hosted Breakfast Television on the Salty Dawg this past Wednesday morning. We took Dawn over to the North Arm for a little sockeye action and…

Local Saltwater Sockeye Fest 2014 is on! Other than the occasional slow down attributed to the visits from the J pod Orca family, the fishing has been p 32″ behind the flasher. The shorter leader length is the standard but I prefer mine a little longer. For the flasher I prefer any flashers with the…

As you have likely heard, sockeye are indeed open in our local waters and we are already enjoying some great sockeye fishing.  Check out these fish from Wednesday’s charter.  Eddie got his guests limits of chrome sockeye on a half day charter. This is just the beginning of what is going to be a fantastic…

Local Saltwater   With last week’s rain we had a few days of slow fishing off West Van and I was concerned that we’d “lost” our coho up the river. However, the fresh water seems to have drawn in even more fish. Not only have I had some pretty decent fishing but these newer coho…
