Adrenaline Ruch, Salmon Fishing, Nanaimo
Adrenaline Ruch, Salmon Fishing, Nanaimo

Adrenaline Rush, Salmon Fishing, Nanaimo B.C. The adrenaline rush for me usually starts the night before. After all these years, sleep still comes slowly as I lay awake contemplating where I’ll be going and what I’ll be using. Awakened by my alarm the next morning, I am greeted by a bright orange sunrise. Oh ya, another day in paradise! Dressing in my winter woollies, I grabbed a coffee and drove down to the docks where my trusted steed awaited. Thirty minutes later, I was on my way with four enthusiastic quests eager to embark on a new adventure in life. After dropping a crab pot, we motored out to the fishing grounds. Ten minutes in, we had our first fish to the boat. Just shy of the legal limit, we released it and doubled back. When the rod went off this time, I knew we were into a better fish. Handing the rod over to an experienced angler, it was all smiles all the way in. A beautiful 75 cm Chinook. “Largest fish so far this season” I said to my group. What I didn’t know…, it was about to get better. A little over an hour later, the port side rod went off. I knew it was something big when it hit, popped the clip, and was off on a tear. “Fish on” I cried! With the rod doubled over, it was the usual deep down head shaking madness followed by a short run halfway to the boat and then another short run right beside the boat. Finally, she was in the net. Wow, a beauty measuring 76 cm’s. “My heart was beating like crazy” said the women once the fish was aboard. Yep, I thought to myself. Its something I have often heard my guests say after fighting one of these incredible fish. They truly can be an adrenaline rush. We boxed one more fish that morning before heading back to retrieve the crab pot full of Dungeness. What a day! What a gift! As their first Westcoast salmon adventure, it was an exhilarating experience. I am sure it will not be their last.

Great Fishing Continues in Nanaimo

A Pot of Gold and A Cooler of Fish More and more, I hear my guests talk about the beauty of British Columbia when they see it from the water. This past Sunday, January 12, it was the stunning skyscapes that captivated us. The forecast had been for a sunny day with light winds. A favorable combo for my 4 guests who hailed from Saskatchewan. Instead, it was windy with a unique mixture of storm clouds above us while to the east snow-covered mountains gleamed in the clear skies of the morning sun. Unsettling yet stunning at the same time! We even managed to see a rainbow (you can just make it out in the first photo). And you know what they say about rainbows, there is always a pot of gold on the other side. We were not disappointed! The action that morning started off slow. Nothing for the first 45 minutes. And then, almost as if someone turned on a switch, the bite came on. And what a bite! Winter chinook fishing in January typically means weeding through several fish before hooking a good one. Not this time. Most of the fish were well over the legal size limit. We even landed two that topped the tapes at 70 cm. Astonishingly, only two and a half hours into the trip, we had a cooler full of fish. Then, as abruptly as the bite turned on, it turned off again. No matter. A good time was had by all! It's been said that nothing lasts forever. But that morning, we left with amazing memories. Much needed medicine in a world of change and challenge. My guests assured me they’d be back for more.

The 2025 Season Begins with Great Action
The 2025 Season Begins with Great Action

It’s a new year which means a new season for Reel Time Fishing Charters & Marine Tours. And for the first time, our first charter was New Year’s Day. With recent reports of good Chinook fishing and favourable conditions for the afternoon (windy and overcast), we set for a few of my favorite hotspots, Horsewell Channel and Neck Point. Eager to drop the first line, I forgot to set the tension on the starboard side reel. Result? A major bird’s nest…aargh!!! After a few unsuccessful attempts at untangling it, I went over and dropped the port side line before returning to the mess. To my astonishment, it didn’t take more than 60 seconds before my guests were excitingly pointing at a bouncing port side rod. Fish on! The action was consistent for the remainder of the afternoon. Unfortunately, the fish coming to the boat were all between 59 and 61 cm, just shy of the legal limit. Finally, just past Neck Point, we hit a good one that measured 65 cm. Later that afternoon, in front of Clark Rock, we lost the best fish of the day…, the big one that got away! All in all, a great afternoon on the water with lots of action. Driving home that afternoon, I was reminded again of how fortunate we are to enjoy such an amazing resource. The beauty of the rocks, beaches, islands, forests, snow capped mountains as well as the rich variety of marine life just never gets old for me. I love this place. And I relish the opportunity of revealing the wild wonder and beauty of BC’s west coast to our guests for another year. As another season begins, I invite you to join us on one of our fishing adventures or marine tours. Or simply follow us on Facebook for regular updates on fishing conditions.

Great Winter Fishing in Nanaimo
Great Winter Fishing in Nanaimo
фев. 16, 2024 Ненеймо
Not many consider winter fishing as an option around Vancouver Island. However, there are many pluses to booking a charter during the months of February and March. For starters, there is often plenty of action. Our 4 and 6 hour charters consist of 8 to 15 hook-ups with some nice keepers in the mix. Also, the limit for Chinook salmon is 2 per person while summer limits are 1 per person (also, retention of Chinook will close at the end of March and will not open again until July 15, 2024) Crabbing during the winter is often better too. Finally, our winter charters are less expensive than our summer charters offering substantial savings for our winter guests. Personally, I prefer the cooler clearer days of February and March to the hot and sometimes smoky days of July and August. So, if you haven't ever been on a winter fishing trip here in Nanaimo, give winter fishing a try. Chances are good you won't be disappointed.

Coho Fishing is Fantastic in Nanaimo!
Coho Fishing is Fantastic in Nanaimo!
июнь 2, 2023 Ненеймо
Coho season has just opened in Nanaimo (June 1st) and the action has been fast and furious. This morning, on a short three hour trip, we could hardly keep them off our bait. We hooked 4 fish before we even had time to put the second line in the water. Most of the fish we were catching were around the 20 to 22 inch area with a few coming in at the 24 inch mark. In the mix there were a good number of hatchery fish as well..., good new for anglers as they are the ones we can keep. These fish are coveted by many sports anglers. They as super scrappy and like taking to air performing some amazing aerial acrobats. Another reason many people like catching Coho is because they taste so good. Looking for some great action from a hard fighting, good eating fish. Look no further than Reel Time Fishing Charters and Marine Tours. Book now knowing the 5% of each trip goes back into Salmon restoration projects through the Pacific Salmon Foundation. As we say at Reel Time, "Experience the Wonder, Invest in its Future."

Lingcod Season Is Here!
Lingcod Season Is Here!
май 6, 2023 Ненеймо
Over the past week, we've managed to get out on the water half a dozen times in search for the ultimate prize, Lingcod. With the exception of one trip, we've hooked lings on every outing. Most of our success has been trolling large squid patterns or swim baits close to the bottom or along ridges. Lingcod can be finicky and the bite can often be very subtle. But once hooked, they don't usually let go of the bait. These fish are scary looking but very tasty. Their meat color can also vary from a light tinge of blue or even green. But don't let that worry you. Once cooked, the meat turns white. And many prefer their meat over any other type of bottom fish. The fight from these fish is somewhat comparable to that of a halibut. When hooked, if often feels as if you are simply pulling in dead weight. Larger fish however, do take runs putting up a fairly impressive fight. Looking for some delicious fish-n-chips. Book a trip with us during the month of May, the season of the Lingcod. Five percent of every trip goes back into salmon restoration projects through the Pacific Salmon Foundation. As we say at Reel Time, Experience the Wonder, Invest in its Future.
