2023 OFFISHALL Vancouver-Howe Sound-Sechelt Reports Thread

For you guys thinking of hopping across, spent a couple hours this afternoon in the spoil grounds and then in tighter to neck point, very weedy out on the bumps. Lots of 60-65 cm fish couldn’t keep 2 rods down. Herring look to be moving in to the area. Fished spoons 135-183 action all over, there’s defiantly some keepers in the mix. Was more of a boat ride then a fishing trip

Posted on the Nanaimo thread but since some comments over here about crossing I thought I would chime in here as well. Thrasher was great today was well worth the trip. 3 in the box all between 70-75.

Got out around 3pm around the bell and mile markers. No bites yet, haven’t seen any nets either! Nonetheless can’t beat being on the water.

Four fish at the bell today 9-2pm, the biggest was 72cm and and had a 5” herring in its belly, the rest released. All on 3”spoons, no action on hoochies or plugs. 140-180feet about 20’ from bottom. Ideal condition and about 20 boats out. Saw a few other nets out.

Hit thrasher today and got these two plus very many unders released. Non stop action.

Fished the bell, all day grind. Found big bait farther west and enjoyed a 15 minute rodeo solo with this red. 4" spoon, I think its a coyote herring pattern with the little chrome spinner on it,( found it in a log jam on the vedder) 150 fow 150 on the rigger. This guy also had a 5" half digested fish? on board. No keeper crabs from jerico wonder if its fished out?

Fished Thrasher yesterday. Non stop action from 8:30 to 10:30. Kept 2 and released a bunch. Both 3”/4” spoon and hotchie worked. Fished 160 to 190’ in 250’ of water.

64 in the box at the bell. Released a 60 as well. One other hit. Spoons at 120.

Thrasher is absolutely plauged with 30 - 40 cm coho and yellowtail rockfish , getting them at all depths . Interesting for this time of year
