Sept. 15

Fishing for Chinook and Coho has been excellent in local waters over the last week as the fish have started staging near their home rivers.

We don't have to travel far from the marina to get into the salmon action, and crabbing has really picked up again so the traps are dropped daily.
Sept4

Always enjoy fall fishing here on the Sunshine Coast.

With the opening of all the areas in the Salish Sea, the packs of city boats are no longer on our fishing grounds, and the migrating fish come through in steady waves as they near their home rivers.

I'll be here until the rains come...
August 27

Late Aug and Sept. is our time to shine for big fall chinook in the lower Georgia Straight.

One thing I've learned over the years is that The Ladies Can Fish!
Their patience and determination usually result in success with a fish in hand.
That's certainly how this week has played out.
Aug 22

A few sockeye thrown into the mix to go with the coho, chinook and pinks has kept it fun and productive out there this month.
Always interesting when 4 of the 5 types of Pacific salmon are in our local waters.

2 chinook a day retention opens in all local areas on Sept.1.
Gidddyup!
Aug 12

The Invasion Of The Pinks is fully underway, but we have been finding coho and chinook as well over the last week.

High Temps have brought high winds, so getting into the Straight has been tricky some days and we have had to hide behind some islands in Howe Sound to get on the fish.
August 5

Big numbers of Pink Salmon have started moving into the Salish Sea this week, providing great action on the rods, but also making us work harder to find the schools of Coho.
We found a few yesterday as well as a cpl hard charging Chinook.

Gotta go deep in early August, 160'-200' paid off.
August 3

Bit of a mixed bag over the last week, which is not unusual for early Aug.

Found success by staying far away from the pack of boats fishing Gower Pt. most days, but we had to work for em with frequent gear checks and depth changes being essential.
Gotta Always Be Fishing,that's for sure.
July 27

Fun weekend chasing salmon at Gower Pt.

We stayed away from the pack of city boats on Saturday and found a couple nice chinook and some hatchery coho to go with the 1st pink salmon brought in of the summer.

The wind kept the fleet away on Sunday and we were able to find a few nice fish.
July 25

Bonnie Day at Gower Part 2

Stuck it out in the chop and got rewarded after some pretty tough fishing this morning.

Fun morning for sure, but not the kind of water everyone enjoys being on.
July 25

Bonnie Day at Gower Part 1

Yes, it was a bit bumpy out there, but at least we didn't get roasted by the sun.

After getting pushed off the water by a big blow from the SE yesterday, we were feeling pretty motivated to hook some fish this morning.

Gower Pt. produced on the ebb with a chinook & some coho, and then we were able to find a few more coho along the beaches on the big flood tide.
July 23

Fished the beaches of Roberts Creek between tides yesterday morning.

Good skills on the rods made for a fun and successful trip with some hatchery marked coho and a nice chinook finding the net.

White Hootchies were the ticket today, spoons only caught little shakers so we benched em.
July 18

Fishing the neap tide can be a soul crushing experience some days, but we were on the bait and found coho throughout the afternoon.

Going to focus on fishing the low tides in the mornings this coming week, we'll see what swims our way as we head the big tide swings of the new moon.
July 16.

We were able to hook some chinook to go with nice sized coho on the high tide when the ripping high winds finally died down this am.

The local fleet was mostly hooking chinook in the 10-15lb range-tho there were some bigger fish outside the 80cm slot limit that were released as well.
July 7

Smaller schools of coho combined with heavy fishing pressure meant we had to put in some work to get rewarded over the last few days.

Tons of bait in the area so we can expect waves of fresh fish to roll in with the full moon tides this week.

In the meantime, gotta work those bait balls...
July 3

Spent a great day in Howe Sound with some wonderful international guests.

Kept a cpl hatchery coho and released some chinook at the Farm and Twin.

While everyone caught their first ever salmon, some days are more about good company and beautiful scenery than catching every fish.

Non stop action on the rods in calm seas and sweet sunshine this morning.

It's a Coho Frenzy up and down the Sunshine Coast right now.

A Giant Pink Seastar tried slowing down our crabbing by wrapping itself around the bait cage in one of my traps.

Nice try bud, nice try.

Kicked off the start of summer with the Never Give Up Crew this weekend.

We teamed up with Shallow Bob on Saturday to fill the wheelbarrow, then got lucky on Sunday morning with 7 out of 15 fish caught being keeper hatchery marked coho.
Action was fast and furious.

June 17

Coho are here in big numbers, with a good ratio of keeper hatchery marked/wild fish being caught.

Finding these fish in shallow water (50'-80') tight to the beaches on the incoming tide and out in a bit deeper water on the ebbing tides.

June 13 2025

Wind finally died down so we could get out there and hook some coho.

Hatchery fish were mostly in the 55cm class, with a few bigger ones in the mix today.

Numbers, and size will continue to grow as the waves of fish travel through our waters this summer and fall.

May 25

Lots of chinook action on the rods over the last week with a few bigger migratory fish in the mix with our local feeders.
Looking forward to June with the opening for hatchery coho retention as well as the chance to hook into some trophy sized Kings as they pass through our local waters.
March 31.

The last day of the winter chinook season was a good one with calm seas, warm sunshine and decent action on the rods at Gower Point.

Always disappointed to see the end of winter fishing, but definitely excited to see what the tides will bring our way this spring and summer.
Tuesday March 18

Winter chinook fishing continues to be lights out all along the Sunshine Coast with large Schools of mostly hatchery fish in the 8-14b range feeding on all the herring and anchovies that are present in our waters.
They been biting rain or shine.

Sunday March 16

It's only your first time once boys!
These guys landed close to 20 fish for their 1st time fishing the salt water-never lost a fish all day.

Action was mostly on the dbl glow black blade with a skinny g spoon at 150'.
