Fished sat, 1 good bite had it on for a minute, then lost it. Seemed like a good size fish. There wasn't much action from the dozen or so boats working the area. Anybody else have any luck? Am thinking about trying T10s next weekend. Maybe sand heads or Coal docks.

Fished west van today was pretty quiet, although I did fish 2 young guys outta the water after thier canoe capsized on them, lucky the wife happened to be watching them in the rough water
and I was just about dropping gear, I heard her gasp then yell at me that they rolled under, I pulled the kicker and hit the main and was on them within a couple minutes
another boat assisted and managed to right the canoe and tow to shore, the young guys were alright had their life jackets on, lost some gear, cell phones and ID, but their lucky thats all they lost!
water was pretty rough today and wind was blowing petty good too, too rough for a canoe for sure. dropped them back at the dock at ambleside, the other boat towed the canoe in there too.
went back out and fished another couple hours till 330ish but the fish gods werent smiling on us today.

HITW Sunday
Fished Sunday, from HITW to down past the tennis courts. Back and forth from 7am-4pm, except for a 90 minute lunch at the Boathouse. 2 first timers (f.) on the boat.
1 grilse around 8am.
Double header of springs around 10:30am - lost BOTH at the boat. A 10+ spit the hook, a 20+ broke off. Saw both fish, both almost within net reach but it wasn't to be.
Running 4 rods, both hit on the top rods at the same time. 1 rod at 20', one at 30'. One on Money Hoochie and one on Anchovie.
Then 1 pink on Anchovie around 2:30pm way up past the tennis court.
Had a nice bow eyecandy once it got warm out. Pics were taken, should have one up soon.
It was a NICE day to be out on the water, everyone got cooked. Too bad we couldn't land one of those springs.
And somehow I lost my new C&R net out there...

Fishing seems dead slow out in Van in the past couple weeks eh? I've been over in the gulf islands a few times and it's slowed down there as well. Have my boat in Van for 2 more weeks so want to get out this coming weekend. Anyone finding fish around? Perhaps further up Howe Sound? Has anyone been out to T10 or the other arms of the Fraser lately? Should be some springs rolling in soon there. And these damn Cap coho sure are late this year too. Would appreciate any recent reports in addition to the ones already posted on this thread... which are mostly not that hot. cheers

I headed out the south arm today , wanting to try the area due to it now open and knowing things were slow in other local Vancouver areas, so they must be here eh ! Yup at least one small white spring was there for me after about 2 1/2 hours on the water (7:30-10).
I was fishing in 200+ water and the downrigger was set at 45' using a red flasher and a green/white/red coyotee spoon and moving quickly at 4. on the GPS.
I opened em up and he was a busy bugger with 3 , 4' (anchovies or maybe they were herring) in him.
So it looks like the Banana might give us another good kick at the chins !
And yes he was legal at 66cm (62-77cm until July 29th fellas, after that anything larger than 62cm)

Kudo's for going out and just trying an area, I prefer to hear FM post how they are jumping in the boat before I go out.lol Congrats on a nice fish Sir-vivor.
That's quite the compliment Blackmax. Thank You. Get ready...get all your gear tied for Pinks and Sox, get your anchovies ready for Springs...and wait for the word...because it's coming....and soon.

Long Weekend in Geogia Strait.
Myself and a buddy will be hunting around this weekend. possible areas are Gabriola, Howe Sound, and Vancouver Harbour and outside. Seems like there are a few fish around and we plan to find them. Loaded for bear, we are. I will try to post tomorrow if I find any.
Tight lines guys.

A buddy and I took a new boat owner/angler out on his boat tonight and taught him how to run his riggers and fish out around bell buoy towards north arm. Had a good strike and passed tthe rod to the newbee and instructed him to
Keep the line tight and tip up.......well you can probly guess what happened.
Oh well I guess we were all new once.
140 ft of water 45 ft on the rigger, chovie, green flasher.
Saw a few pinks jumping.
