Not at tango 10. They’ve been doing the harbour a lot, I guess the guests they are taking out are fine with a boatload of pink salmon.

Fished Thrasher/Flat Tops the last couple days, spent the night at Page’. Still lots of Pinks, Coho and even the odd Sockeye. Finally found my 2 Springs deep at 180’-190’ when I was fed up with feeding the Pinks my anchovies. One white, 1 marble on chovie and Bon Chovie spoon. Got 1 of my lings, lost a sea monster as well.

Guessing the name of the game Monday will be trying to sort thru the pinks to hook Chinooks. I heard from one experienced fisherman that one tactic is to go a bit faster ... anyone tried this before?

Bigger baits and going a bit deeper should help

I hope every boat in the lower mainland shows up and limits on everything. Plenty of room and plenty of fish. Good luck everyone.

Conversely, those that are new to the area or to fishing, it is one day of many to fish for chinook, so don't panic. Bowen is great this time of year too.

Excellent Book. Bill is a great guy, tons of experience, and local here in Surrey.

Used to be 88A for most of the recreational fishers, but really not much chatter on the VHF any more.

Once upon a time yes, social media took over and recognizing guide boats is easy.
Information is shamelessly shared with everyone.
Good luck to all- Vancouver Summer Chinook Season opens now!

Yeah it’s a different world now, Dave. I don’t even turn my radio on now.

I was out at the mouth 2 days ago and hooked into 6 Springs, 6 Pinks, a dogfish, and a Coho in 4 hrs trolling a Pink Hoochie with a UV green flasher pretty fast. I was at 100' on the DR counter with 12lb balls and my downriggger line was back a little more than 45 degrees doing 3+mph. Took 5 mins to hook into the 1st and it was pretty much nonstop action..a couple 30lb springs were landed and released
