Fishing Somewhere in Vancouver

Was out on Sunday with a few friends.

Hooked 3 Salmon - Lost one that looked like a keeper when it just fell off the hook. Released a nice Jack Chinook that measured out at 60.5 cm and finally boated a nice 14/15 pound White Chinook.


Rick with his fish.

All in all, it was a very slow day. Saw maybe 3 other fish brought to the boat, one kept, one released, and didn't see the fate of the 3rd fish.

Perhaps a little rain might stir things up.

Nice Fish You can see our boat the little blue one behind you. We saw you catch that one!

Hey Jim, actually you forgot the 4th one on.....smaller one Rob lost on the 'double header' with the bigger chinook that was lost - that was hilarious as it jumped all over the place and as soon as it got off the hook (on a yet another jump) the other rod pounded off the clip ( Love the shot of Rick as it shows sort of how busy it was out there ) ...... Harbour Patrol was working it big time keeping people west of the light.

As sushi says , it was slow for late Sept.

we were out this morning and caught 3 coho and one 15lb chum. all were released and around 1130 we hooked into a 24lb white spring around the pink apt on a chrome teaser with a super betsy flasher. my fishing bud was very happy. we didnt see very many fish caught but the predator got a nice chum around 20lbs in the same area but by casting

 

[Captain PartyMarty]

Did you get that in the 20ft of water off the the pink appartments or where you further out?

 

[cannibal chris]

ya captain party we did get him in about 20 feet and the gear at 16or 17 feet.
