Things are starting to perk up in Vancouver waters! Over the last few days there has been some very nice fish hooked in most of the winter and early spring hot spots. The Capilano Mouth, Vancouver Harbour, the Bell Buoy and Howe Sound have all been producing some nice chinook salmon up to 25 pounds. Most fish have been 10-15 pounds, but there has been a handful confirmed over 20 pounds landed over the last few days. Anchovies, coyote spoons,and gypsy spoons have been the lures of choice.

More and more fish are starting to suspend off bottom now that it is the first week of April. These spring time chinooks can be found from 50 feet down to the bottom if you are fishing any kind of structure. Off the south end of Bowen Island, which should REALLY pick up shortly, run your gear scatterred between 60-150 feet.

Crabbing has been excellent in Vancouver Harbour. Crab traps are dropped on every charter!

April and May are typically great times to fish for chinook salmon in Vancouver!
