Prince Rupert, British Columbia - Saltwater Fishing Report
Hecate Strait
It is great to finally have just two people to catch fish for. Sometimes the pressure to whack fish for everyone can be a little overwhelming. We were greeted with quite a unique day. There was a huge swell pumping in from the West but it was like glass on top. Tripple Island Lighthouse was taking a pounding, with each swell running up the rocks to lick at the bottom of the lighthouse.
This swell did not effect the fishing though. The Halibut were biting and it was not long before we had the 6 keepers in the box and we were heading to a favorite jigging spot. The lingers and Snapper were not ready to die today. We only managed to smack 2 nice ones. I think that this couple will be back next 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.
