2025 OFFISHALL Vancouver- Howe Sound-Sechelt Fishing Reports Thread

[Rain City]

Has anyone been crabbing in the harbour lately? My niece requested a crab feast for her birthday dinner next Friday. Was thinking of leaving from Vanier dropping traps and fishing the bell for a few hours while they soak.

Had a buddy that tried recently and said it was junk. That "conmercial" boat is smashing the area 24/7 365

tried grace for a couple hours this morning and had a few close to legals and then hit tunstal for tide change . Lots of small fish around. Had 12 prawns on a 4 hour soak and all small crabs in my one trap. Conditions were great and beats working any day .

Lots of small fish around the Bell today. But we managed to land one beautiful 77cm red chinook in the mix. Empty stomach so wondered if it was a late spawner. Had the iridescent purple winter chinook colours though. 125 feet skinny G.
Couple undersized crabs, ended with a humpback show on the way back. Calm seas, sunny skies. Doesn’t get much better.
