Hi There,
New to this forum, I am originally from the Terrace area and did a ton of river fishing up there. I became a bit soured on fishing after a couple of trips to the Vedder. It wasnt exactly what I was used to...many days up north I would be the only one on the river and had the fish to myself along with the peace/serenity that came with it. I have recently purchased a Sailboat and want to do some trolling/bottom fishing in the Vancouver area this summer. I am not familiar with the area and realize a sailboat is not the optimal platform for fishing but I caught quite a few chinook and halibut from my dad's boat as a kid. I guess I am looking for general advise on where to fish...not asking for secret spots just good places to start and general information for someone new to the lower mainland saltwater fishing scene....keep in mind that my boat does a whopping top speed of 6 knots under power so for me to get anywhere quick on a wkd is not going to happen. I am currently at lynwood marina (north Vancouver) so i assume the mouth of the capilano and spots in howe sound would be my best bet for a wkd of fishing. Hole in the Wall? Where is it?) Thanks in advance for your advice. Oh also i wonder if I can troll slow enough with the Atomic 4 gas inboard in my boat???? anyone have any experience with this?
