2025 OFFISHALL Vancouver- Howe Sound-Sechelt Fishing Reports Thread

Fished opening day- started at QA what was great on Saturday late morning- was a slow start second guessing my decision to stay away from the herd then starboard side was absolutely hammered by a pig.
I fought it to the surface about 40-50 feet back of the boat and was pretty much freaking as it was the biggest chinook I have had on in a long time… the adrenaline was definitely pumping, and I feel like I probably lightened up a little bit too much on the fish instead of horsing it straight to the boat and in a flash, it was like a subtle head turn and the hook popped- !?$#%
Moved back south a couple K for another troll with the wind and managed to blunder another pair. OMG, some kind of weird juju on the boat. Ended up winning and losing on some pinks and then finally ended up further south of T 10 and managed a couple decent Chinook couple wild Cohoes, couple socks and a few more pinks finished up with a long troll back to the harbour was just pink at that point really weird day for me But all in all ended up a great day!

Fished sandheads today from 11 till 3. Got a chinook right by the green can on an anchovy at 75 ft down for like 1 min and then fish on. Couldn’t even get the second down. Fisheries came over and gave us a quick check, all good.

Found another couple springs but then just endless pinks. We further north and saw Chinook feeding on bait down at 120 ft. Dropped down and immediately hooked up. Green glow flasher and glow teaser head. Messed a few hits that didn’t stick but ended up with 4 nice chinook in total. 3 reds and one white. Flat calm, amazing day.

Was so calm on run back I couldnt resist hitting Sandheads again. 120 on rigger pink &white hoochie. Also picked up some sweet bycatch loaded with hooks...

Also messed around off Worlcomb for a bit and had nonstop action on feeders with 1 just under. No pink just fiesty 55 cm nooks. Great sign to have all this bait and feeders in Sound right now!!!
