Downtown Vancouver Salmon Fishing Report
Well it's been quite awhile since our last report and there really hasn't been much going on - YET !!. Over the next few weeks our Winter fishery should really take off with most of the Chinook pushing the legal limit and providing us with greater action than the present. I have heard of a few decent reports for the West Side of Bowen Island with fish to 14 pounds but it hasn't really started there either. We primarily fish the harbour in the Winter as the amount of bait in the area helps us locate the fish easier. The key is the find the bait and you have action. The QB marker is one our preferred areas as the water depth is around 100' to 130' and the bait seem to congregate in the area. The freighters to the Mile Markers is also another good bet. Most of the Winter success is with you gear at or very the bottom and when you are not into fish try removing your flashers and see the results. We normally use spoons and small plastic baits in the Winter as the feed is quite small. Watch out for Seals as they are on the hunt just like us !
We are open for the 2010 Games as our Marina is not in the RED zone so give us a call if you want to spend a great day on the water. We offer SPECIAL WINTER 2010 RATES - call for details !
Good luck and tight lines.
