Описание тура

Great fishing continued into September with some of the largest fish of the season now appearing in our local waters! Usually we can count on September to be relatively dry and sunny - not this year. Similar to last September, we’ve had a fair amount of rain which has allowed some fish to move into local river systems earlier than they might have in other years. That said, the fishing has continued to be very strong with multiple fish on most trips and new schools of fish moving into local waters with each incoming tide! The largest fish brought in by a guest this season was in September at 27lbs - what a great fish! We’ve seen more Coho show up over the past few weeks and have had several very nice hatchery Coho to the boat with the largest being around 10lbs. We expect Chinook and Coho fishing to be good through into October so there’s still time to book your trip to experience the thrill of west coast salmon fishing!

Coho salmon continue to be prevalent in local waters. We have consistently hooked into 10+ fish on each trip. That said, we’ve done this by moving between several locations until we find the fish. Just because an area was productive on one day, does not mean the fish will still be there the following day. A willingness to pick up the gear and head for another spot has been the key to our success this season. On a few trips, the westerly winds hampered our ability to safely access areas where the larger concentrations of fish have been holding, but we always have a few options available to tuck in out of the wind when those situations occur. The fish are feeding on small to medium size herring currently and hitting aggressively. Coho are a surface fighting fish and often catapult out of the water shortly after hitting the lines. This is where keeping a tight line to the fish is key otherwise they quickly throw the hook leaving only a memory of the one that got away! Guests can retain up to 2 hatchery marked Coho per fishing license with a salmon stamp. We’re now in the off season for Crabs and Prawns. Upon request, we will still drop some traps on the way to the salmon grounds for guests that would like to experience this fishery but the success rate has dropped significantly. The peak season for Prawns is generally December - May and for crabs is December - June. Chinook salmon retention is now open in a few areas with additional openings coming August 1st. Give us a call for more details and to book your charter today!

With COVID-19 restrictions easing, we are pleased to announce the resumption of charter services! Although we were not taking guests during the lockdown period of COVID-19, we were on the water regularly including participating in DNA sampling to assist in tracking the migratory activities of our prized Chinook salmon. In addition to providing key information for the ongoing preservation of stocks, it also means we know where the fish are and what they are feeding on. Overall the fishing has been excellent. We've been hooking into multiple Chinook salmon on every trip and it has been common to be into double digits by the time the day is over. The majority of fish have been in the 8lb to 10lb range but we're seeing an increasing number of fish in the mid teens as well. These fish are aggressively feeding this time of year so they are hitting the gear hard making for some exciting battles. We are mostly trolling spoons to imitate the bait these fish are feeding on. As we head into June, we will start including bait presentations (anchovy & herring) in our deployed gear as well. It's hard for any salmon to resist a properly presented anchovy or herring! Coho salmon will be arriving soon in our local waters. We usually see the Coho appear around the last week of May into the first week of June. They are aggressive feeders as well and provide for chaotic surface battles as they jump and race around in every direction. We are currently in the 'catch and release' phase of our fishery for Chinook salmon but guests can retain up to two hatchery marked Coho salmon per license. This season, we are also providing the opportunity for guests to participate in DNA sampling efforts for Chinook. We bring the fish on board briefly to collect a sample, record its length, and take a quick photo before safely releasing the fish to fight another day. Retention of Chinook is currently slated to start July 15th, as it did last season, but there is a possibility it will start earlier this year. We are anticipating an updated announcement from the Department of Fisheries & Oceans before June 15. Crabbing and prawning has been excellent. We will be dropping crab traps on all our charters through to the end of June with prawning being offered on our longer duration charters (8hr & 10hr charters) through until mid June. Contact us today to secure your day on the water!
