JUNE 17 FISHING REPORT
The mouth of the Fraser River heated up this week for chinooks up to 30 pounds. Great to see as the local fishing had been tough over the last couple weeks. There has been a good mix of mature chinooks, jacks, and undersize fish. The fish have been hitting primarily anchovies from 60-120 feet on the downriggers.
In addition to the Fraser Mouth fishery there has been some nice fish over on the far side of Georgia Strait. The Five Fingers, Thrasher, and Gabriola have had some good periods of activity. We were off the Five Fingers on the weekend and had some good success. However now that there is fish close to Vancouver we will likely be spending less time over there.
The West Vancouver shoreline is seeing a few early coho and the odd chinook. The fishery should really pick up in the next week or two. There has been the odd chinook in Howe Sound as well. Howe Sound usually gets going for chinook in late June through July.
We just purchased another Grady White Gulfstream. It should be in the water by next week. So now we have 3 Grady Whites and our 38 foot Uniflite ready for charter at our dock location. Give us a call to book a charter. It looks like it is going to be a good season based on early indications.
