An amazing 50# Chinook caught in Vancouver Harbour - boated by Bonnie Lee Charters... last fall

Local Saltwater-

Bad weather has kept most off the water but the reports we have had from a few brave souls have been promising. Good numbers of fish between 18 and 30 inches are around and we have heard of  of fish in the teens and a few twentys as well. Thrasher Rock, Areas of Howe Sound, Vancouver Harbour, The mouth of the Capilano and other areas of the Gulf islands are all productive areas to fish throug the winter months. Winter feeder Chinook are usually caught just of the bottom. Anchovys or small Herring fished in teaser heads behind flashers, Hoochies, Spoons, Apex lures, Batrix and Ace hi lures in various colours are all productive offerings.

Prawning has been good in our local waters as well.

  Halibut is now closed as of September the 5, 2011...

We are expecting an opening date of March 1st 2012 , stay tuned ...
