2018 OFFICIAL Vancouver-Howe Sound-Sechelt Reports Thread

[staying alive]

Dilema —launch downtown at Vainer and fish cap early then go QA area then back to cap for the flood
Or Mcdonald beach and stay out front QA -T10 maybe as far as SA
Is there lost of boats at cap during the week or don’t people have to work
Driving downtown with the boat sucks but will , go where I have to

 

[adanac]

Westport tuna trip cancelled due to weather.... will be out there rolling cut baits at all the local haunts Friday - Sunday staying at snug cove, hail on 88a “ moody hooker “

 

[staying alive]

I'll be out there early Saturday, either around T10 or Cap (will be my first time at the Cap if I head there). If there is anything interesting happening I'll post a report in here. Freezer is fairly full already so I'm just looking forward to a gorgeous fall day on the water. Hope to see some of you out there.

If you’re going to the Cap mouth on a weekend, you should plan to leave the phone alone and keep your eyes on the water. Sometimes you’ll need a 360 view for that. Some ‘anglers’ will become very creative with their boating skills

Haha, I'm definitely guilty of the "swing wide"....mostly avoiding the chaos but also for that honey spot

[Ringo]

After all the commercial raping, the bananna is closed to salmon fishing until Oct 24. There are better places to fish IMHO.

Would be interesting to see if they lift the bait ban for the tidal portiin of the Fraser.

Fished the cap 3 TIL dark. Saw about 10 fish caught. Thought it was not my night as the sun started to set. lines up to 55’ and trolled past the pier. 10 # on medium herring. Pic won’t load. Out for first light tomorrow

 

[Sliver09]

So who else is going to brave the capilano full contact fishery tomorrow?

 

[bcboarder]

Going to give it a shot at the cap tmrw morning. Plan to drag chovies on the bottom; see what happens

 

[reeltordarius]

Seiners open to the cap mouth this weekend....

Seiners open to the cap mouth this weekend....

I heard that the gill netters are out as well, putting a net out from one side to the other should do it.

 

[pescador]

I don’t think you need to fish at mouth. Fish west by the pink apartments. There are fish there.

 

[SaltyAlice]

Arrived at Cap mouth 30 minutes ago. Half of all the vessels manufactured around the globe in the past 70 years are currently fishing there. I’m single handed today so I’m going to play a little closer to the pink apartments in order to preserve my sanity.

 

[Dogbreath]

If you're on the water tomorrow cruise into the harbour and have a look at the cruise ships there's going to be a biggie and 3 others all at the same time.

Give it another 30 minutes and the other half should show up.
