Prince Rupert, British Columbia - Saltwater Fishing Report
Prince Rupert Area
I am chomping at the bit to get outside for some real Springer fishing. Humpback bay is producing and so is Dundass Island. The migaratory Chinook are here and they are hungry. Just about anything you throw at them will produce a strike. Today we were using Anchovi trolled behind a green Hot Spot flasher. It is not my first choice at bait but whatever works EH. The boys were from Saskatchewan and they were most impressed with the fresh cooked crabs. 12 Keepers in the first trap. We left the others down for tomorrow.
Tomorrow we go for Halibut and Lingcod. The weather is coming down and the seas should allow us to get outside.

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.
