Vancouver Saltwater Salmon Fishing Report Well, it was about time we were able to keep some chinook this week and what a great few days it was on Monday and Tuesday.   The seas were literally flat calm so all of our boats headed across to the Gulf Islands and we were greeted by a lot of eager chinook.  Fishing was fantastic and our guests soaked up the sun and enjoyed bent rods with lots of double headers.  There were countless chinook hooked from 150-250 on the downriggers.  The hot setup was a Salty Dawg flasher with a chartreuse splatter back hootchy or chartreuse glow double skirt.   The hook ups were so steady we eventually just used a dummy flasher and a spoon with no flasher. …

Vancouver Saltwater Salmon Fishing Report Fishing this past week was good in a variety of places; there are lots of options, so let’s take a closer look at each. As usual for this time of year we are seeing good numbers of chinook off South Bowen, as we have for about the last 4 weeks.  There are a few slow days sprinkled in there, but for the most part the fishing has been excellent.  It has been good close to the rocks in as tight as 150 and as far out as 450 feet of water.  Each day is a bit different depending on the tides and winds.   Best depths on the down riggers have been from 80-140. Mid-week a nice school of chinook also…

Vancouver Saltwater Salmon Fishing Report We haven’t been out on the water much this past week with windy and rainy weather so we don’t have too much fresh information to report. We are basically in the early winter chinook season holding pattern. What does that mean? Well it means there are a few fish around and as usual, if you wait for the “hot report” those fish are long gone, so the best thing to do is go when the nice weather days line up with your personal schedule. We mentioned this in previous reports, but with the 35-45 mm heavy rain fall warning for tomorrow, make sure you have lots of juice in your batteries and make sure those float switches for your forward…

Vancouver Saltwater Salmon Fishing Report Well it looks like they aren’t going to shut down sockeye, or at least I haven’t seen any emails as of today. It’s late in the season and there are still some around, lots of jumpers down at South Arm, but there aren’t too many fresh fish left to show up.   Eddie was down there on a longer trip on Wednesday and did well for sockeye and then headed to the Cap for chinook, so that is a good game plan if you have the weather and the right tides. The Cap Mouth chinook fishery is now in full swing and Lars, Eddie, Khoi, and Philippe all had some great catches there mid week on our 5-8 hour charters. Green…
