Fishing has been good for chinook in the 12 to 20 pound range. Try the area between Entrance Island and the Fingers, staying in 700 to 850 feet of water. Rhys Davis teasers for whole or strip baits in clear green scale, Coyotes in green/white or glow green/silver, or the green spackleback hoochie are top baits.
Ling fishing is good off Thrasher and Entrance. Try large bait, plastics, or jigs fished on the bottom at 30 to 120 feet for best results.
Good fishing!

Bio: I've spent 20 years chartering in local waters, with over 2,000 successful charters fished. Silver Blue Charters offers excellent year round salmon fishing charters available on beautiful Gabriola Island aboard a 25.5 foot SeaRay Amberjack. This boat has a 10 foot beam, stand up head, and is capable of carrying 8 people. Her captain, Bob Meyer, has spent 16 years as a charter fishing guide, and has 31 years fishing experience in Gulf Island waters. Quality light tackle, competitive rates, licenses on board, and a very friendly environment make the Silver Blue a great boat to fish. Local waterfront accommodation is available, and fishing packages and wildlife tours are also available upon request. . Fully insured, children welcome.
