Back by popular demand for 2012 !! - The Thrasher Rock Salmon Fishing Adventure running April through July only. This is a 10+ hour fully guided charter to the BC Gulf Islands where the Spring time King/Chinook fishery can be excellent. We travel 22 miles from our dock in downtown Vancouver and fish the waters of the Gulf Islands south of Nanaimo, BC. Chinook or King salmon fishing in the Spring time can be very good in this area and along the way we normally see Seals, Sea Lions, Dolphins and sometimes we get really lucky and see a pod of Orca (Killer Whales) as the area is rich in food supply.
