2024 Campbell River Reports

[Gearbox Paul]

Fished yesterday, green can. Lots of bait, coho hatchery and wild. Got our fish on 4”plugs and spoons 75-230’. Watch for those shakers to keep off.

Thanks for that report.

Any coho left around green/red cans?

Any coho left around green/red cans?

There were some September 30th at the Lighthouse. Chum in the mix as well. Haven’t been out since but hoping to give it a go this weekend

We headed up to Sep Head / Deepwater Bay today in search of the ever elusive and wily Chum Salmon. We were accompanied by my 2 young Grand Daughters aged 9 &11. They are experts on the rod and normally bring positive success to the trip. Today was no exception. We had the gear in the water shortly after 10 AM and were done with a 4 person limit by 1 PM. Included in the tally was an unlucky hatchery coho. Anywhere from about 80 - 110 feet or so on the riggers with standard pink and blue or similar hoochies. We were happily surprised by the seemingly large average size of the fish. There were several other boats up there, most of whom also had the nets out quite frequently.

Winter chinook are here!!

Took a bit to figure it out but ended the day limited out, 230-280' right on the bottom with black plugs. Best way to winterize the boat is to use it!
