2025 OFFISHALL Vancouver- Howe Sound-Sechelt Fishing Reports Thread

[Sea Chaser]

10 to 20 knot winds this weekend
Who's thinking of fishing..?

Of course it’s going to be crappy as the only free weekend I’ll have/ had in a while.

I would fish less than half as much throughout the year if it had to be on weekends only. Mother nature is a real b

I am being optimistic for a bit of a weather change- hopefully be posting up a good report!

Gonna make a run on Friday. Thrasher if water conditions permit, Bowen if it’s too sporty.

Top of the tack at 177 and 187 worked for me for the last hour and a half of the ebb tide. Turned off after the tide change. Tight lines out there!

Saw a small wind-ow at the tide change so I thought I'd be the one to make a test run at the hump. I can report that there are abundant numbers of 50cm fish out there eating every hoochie they can see. Not sure where their parents are though. It was nice fishing out in the open for a change at least. That's real no brainer fishing out there. God I miss it.

Started at the Waterfall yesterday morning and nothing happening after a couple hours so moved over to Grace and picked up three, one hit that didn't stick and two little guys. All action was on a 4" Pesca spoon up to 50' off bottom. No love for plugs or hooches.

Keeper sized little guys?

"Unders" would be keeper sized little guys . These were smaller juveniles, like 30 cm.

Fished around the low at G.P.
Released a couple barely legals in hopes of finding something with some size on the ebb, got a 66cm and a 77cm double header right at slack.
Down in the basement at 180' & 220'.

Thank god

Yes, that was a typo. “Unders” in my book just sub-keeper size!!

3 cm from the old slot size max, that is a sweet catch for this time of year.

Lots of activity on unders for us at the Bell this morning, but only one keeper before the wind stiffened around noon. Some good bait out in deeper water and fish we kept had a 7” herring in its gut. Fish we were hitting were mostly suspended, 85’-135’ or so. Finished up the day with a long tack in the beautiful calm, and empty, waters of HITW to Newman Creek.

Finally found some a few dozen prawns off bowen after dropping many times without any success. Managed a bunch of dinks and one keeper springer off roger curtis in 300 ft. caught at 150 on rigger.

That Howe Sound bloom is colouring up the water pretty good, but it hasn't slowed the bite down much this year.
Found fish pretty much everywhere, but the mouth of the Sound has been producing the best on the ebb for us.
Double glow black blade with a Skinny Sink did most the heavy lifting yesterday.
15 days left...
