Prince Rupert, British Columbia - Saltwater Fishing Report
Chatham Sound
Bottom feeders, that sounds like a group of lawyers. What it realy means is the great tasting Lingcod, Snapper and rockfish we smashed today. The boys were not ready to jigg the 32oz Norse Jiggs right away. They had to work through the burn to get to the point where they did not care any more.
Four hours of Jigging the deep rocks we had a cooler full of fish. It was one of those days you dream about. Calm seas and no wind with a great medium tide allowed us to target the areas where big ground fish lurk. Our cooler looked like an aquarium by the end of the day. I hope to see the boys from Alberta next year.
This season is shapping up to be one of the best. If you are interested in trying to catch some of these great northern Chinook look up Deep Spring Charters and I will try to fit you in this year.

Bio: 21 years guiding experience on the west coast. We specialize in catching large and agressive Salmon and Halibut. Welcome to the Deep Spring Charters home page. My company specializes in catching large and aggressive Salmon and Halibut. These are not our only targets though. I love seeking out Lingcod, Snapper and Rockfish where they live. These fish are not safe when I am on the water. It is not uncommon to have all my fish coolers filled to the top by the end of the day. I call this food gathering.
