Another weekend on the water around vancouvers salmon fishing grounds.  Howe Sound has started to heat up like it does every early April with Grace,  Hutt island, 3rd marker, Gower point and Defence all producing fish with half a dozen fish caught close to 20lbs between the places in the last week.   It still seems to be if you find the bait you stand a good chance at catching some nice Spring into the low 20 pound range.    It should only keep getting better and when the weather gets a bit nicer a lot more boats will be fishing alot more including the Watermark.  The South end of Bowen island should start to heat up in the next week. The crabbing and prawning remains very good in Howe Sound and should continue.  If you want a daily report feel free to call be glad to give you an honest report.  Until next time good luck

Great way to start the 1st charter of the season.   Had a 3 people from P.E.I on there first Vancouver salmon fishing charter.  We started the day off with checking the traps that had been left out in Howe sound the day before, we got 6 legal dungeness crab and 400 prawns, a great way to start the day.  

We then headed over to the West side of Bowen island and started at 3rd marker before the high slack.  We lost a small Spring salmon in the first half hour but nothing else.  When the tide started to slow down near the high and the bait came into the area we hit a 16lb Spring  dragging the bottom on an army truck spoon.  Soon after we hit another 14lb Spring on the same thing dragging the bottom right off the cabin at 3rd marker.  We trolled around for another hour the bait seemed to move on and a couple seals moved in also we called it a day and headed back to deal with the days catch.  A good way to start the charter seaon the water was flat calm and didn’t rain till the last hour or so of the charter.  Until next time good luck. Don’t forget to send us an email or give us a call if you would like to arrange a charter.
