2025 OFFISHALL Vancouver- Howe Sound-Sechelt Fishing Reports Thread

Fished Sandheads 8 to noon. Got two early on in tight to the green can. Went quiet so we pushed out deeper. Got two out deeper around the 11 am low slack, then nothing. Thought some fish might ride the water when it started to flow again so moved in tight and got one more.

Biggest was mid to high 20s and over 100 cms. Smallest was around 10 lbs. Two whites, two reds, one marble. Released some smaller chinooks, a few pinks and two wild cohos. All keepers on bait, as high as 45’, as deep as 115’.

Grilled 4 collars for dinner. My wife calls them salmon wings.
 
In two days I’ve had 5 lines cut (teeth?) and three swivels snap at the eye. Am I the only one?
One possibility is I used to see this up north, Haida Gwaii where salmon sharks are prevalent, actually targeted by some guests. Lines were often cut, so stainless lines on reels when targeting. The rest of us would fish a different area.

Do you renew your lines, leaders, and terminal tackle yearly?

Single swivel or bead chain?
