Vancouver Salmon Fishing Report Aug 19, 2018

By | Fishing Report | No Comments

We have had a great couple weeks of charters in Vancouver. We were fishing in english Bay for Coho and the odd Spring till a week ago and now have been off the Fraser river going after the Sockeye salmon with an odd Spring salmon mixed in. We have a few days open in August still and a few more days in September. This sockeye run should keep going into the first week of August and we will switch over to our West van fishery for the great Coho and Spring run in mid September to early October. We also get a great run of Springs and Coho off the Fraser river which we key on on full day charters. Give us a call and book a trip or ask any questions you would like to have answered. If you are trying to go get them yourself give me a shout and i will help you out anyway i can. The Sockeye have been hitting on Gibbsdelta flashers with Yamashita hootchies the springs like them to. If just keying on Coho and Springs i have been mainly using Watermark Gibbsdelta flashers with rhys davis heads and anchovies. Good luck look forward to talking to you.

Vancouver Salmon Fishing Report August 28, 2017

It has been a while since my last fishing report. We have had some great Vancouver fishing charters the past month and it should continue till the end of September if the rains stay away.  The Howe Sound pink fishery is now done so we are turning our focus to fish returning to the Fraser and Capilano Rivers. Right now, we’re mainly fishing off the Fraser River. In the next week or so, the Capilano River should start to pick up again for the fall fishery. We’ve been successful lately with some great sized Springs mixed with a few Coho and Pink as well.  We are mainly fishing the Bell Buoy area to just South of the North arm, 30 to 80ft with Ryhs Davis heads and anchovies as well as Gibbsdelta Watermark flashers with the skinny g homeland security.  We have a few days available for charters for the Fraser River fishery as well as some days available later in September for the Capilano fishery which we only fish the flood tide. Call anytime for charter booking or to ask questions if you are going to try yourself.  The rest of the year looks great. Come spend a day on the Watermark.  Until next time good luck.

Salmon Fishing Report – Vancouver, BC August 11, 2015

      It’s been roughly another week in the vancouver salmon charter scene with great results all over.

In the last week Howe Sound has really started see big numbers of Pinks showing up.  Spin casting for them with Gibbs minnows has been dynamite in the 3 quarter ounce pink color.  There are several areas to do this fishery off Furry Creek golf course and Porteau Cove.  Keep an eye out when running, there are large schools heading up the shoreline.  Stop and fish if you see Pinks finning or jumping! We have been keying on Potlatch which is an area just south of Defense Islands.  It’s one of the most beautiful places we fish all year.  If you like light tackle action this is a great fishery for you and it’s great for kids with so much activity.IMG_20150807_170216 IMG_20150807_171636 FullSizeRender_0 IMG_20150807_173304

There are several other areas providing the chance of a great day on the water. In the last week Seal Rocks just off the West Vancouver shoreline has been on fire most days. There has been massive schools of Pink salmon and most trips we have had a shot at some nice Springs. Other great trips have been off IMG_20150728_084330Point Atkinson (Lighthouse Park) toward Passage Island. We have hit some real nice Springs with a mixture of Pink salmon and have even released some Sockeye salmon. Also seeing great results T10, Bell Buoy, and the West Vancouver shoreline near the mouth of the Capilano River.  All have produced Pink salmon, a few Coho salmon and some nice Springs. In all these areas should continue to have great fishing for quite a while.

IMG_20150721_120334In the last week I have been spin casting or jigging for the Pink salmon up Howe Sound where I use Gibbs 3 quarter ounce pink jigs. For trolling I use exclusively Gibbs Delta flashers chartruse glow, or the Watermark continues to rock! Rhys Davis heads with anchovies and a small mini hootchie UV with pink splatter has been great for Pinks (see picture to get an idea of the hootchie.)

Call to ask questions or about our different fishing charter options. Feel free to call if you are trying to catch them yourself I have no problem helping you guys out any way I can.  Until next time good luck.

Fishing Report May 16th.

Another great week in the Vancouver salmon charter season. This week had a mixed bag but turned out to be great for us with limits of Spring salmon and with a surprising amount of Coho showing up here and there across the Strait of Georgia that we released. If you want to know what’s going on up to the minute follow @salmoncharter on twitter or like watermark fishing charters on Facebook.

The Gulf islands were great again this week with lots of Springs and some days a lot of Coho which is a great sign to see them at this time of year. We mainly fished off Thrasher rock and the gear that works best was Gibbs Highliner flashers chartreuse glow. At the start of the week hotchies were best but in the last few days SilverHorde 3.5in spoons were the best and mainly Homeland security, Irish cream and the Kitchen sink rocked. Check out my twitter to see pictures of the fish we were getting.

This side of the straight there was some good fishing. ‎ Today guys did well in Tunstal bay and throughout the week fish have been caught off the QA, point Atkinson, the south end of Bowen island, and a few at hole in the wall. A mixture of spoons, hootchies and bait seem to be working best.

To do a charter to the Gulf islands a full day charter is required while local fishing we advise a 5 or 6hour trip. Crabbing remains great with Dungeness crab caught in Howe sound. Give us a call for any questions and to book a charter with the weather supposed to be nice next week it’s a great time to book a charter.   ‎With the numbers of Coho showing up in the straight already it looks like we will have a great fishery for them in the upcoming months.  Until next time good luck.
