Sat and Sun went to Thrasher. Tried to troll salmon but no luck, switched to lings and rocks but no luck on Saturday due no current. On Sunday also slow, but after 4 PM current picked up and managed to get keeper.
Does anyone know how to predict currents around Thrasher? I was expecting it to pick up between slacks but it appeared around high slack. Very confusing.

Don't have my tide/current book with me so can't check that for you right now but if I remember correctly the closest current station is Gabriola Passage. Not sure how close that would be to Thrasher's time line but I would think it would be close time wise.

Same thing for me last night between 3 to 7:30. Not a bite. Used bait, spoons and hoochies. But tons of fish onscreen. Is it that the fish are only interested in gojng upriver to spawn?

Took gal out yesterday eve just for an hour before sunset. Marked lots, no takers. Gave the cap a tight scrub on bottom with chovies just for fun also. False creek was mayhem with paddleboarders/seadoos all clogging up the entrance. This guy seemed to have some flotation issues however.

They have been eating all their lives to spawn. I think now they either bite out of habit or they just get pissed off.

Well I tried from noon until 6 to **** them off but things stayed calm. Hoochies, spoons and chovies all were a no go. Lots on the sounder but all were very tight lipped.

There's hot days and dead days in West Van put your time in a you will be rewarded, more washing hooks then catching, for some it's better to keep
your boat parked and wait for September, found early mornings were the best, later in Sept it will be all day thing with bigger coho showing soon, hopefully
the jumpers.. man i miss those..

Mac Donald beach would be your best bet for that and there is also a caretaker onsite 24/7 so helps with any theft etc. He’s pretty on top of things

When I got my annual pass for vanier I asked the parking company that question and they said no overnights.

Did you hook a live one up and drop it down with a banana weight?

Yes I remember forty years ago getting live bait from Sewells with my dad and going mooching all around Gibson and Bowen...
