What to Expect on the Water

Picture this: You're cruising through Vancouver's stunning coastal scenery, the salty breeze in your hair, as your experienced guide takes you to the hottest fishing spots. We know these waters like the back of our hand, so we'll put you right where the big ones are biting. You'll learn pro techniques for battling those monster Chinooks - trust me, when a 30-pounder hits your line, you'll be glad you've got an expert by your side! Between casts, soak in those breathtaking views of the mountains and shoreline. It's not just about the fish (though they're pretty awesome) - it's the whole package that makes this trip special.

Fishing Know-How & Gear

We'll be using a mix of trolling and mooching techniques to target those salmon. If you're new to this, don't worry - trolling is basically slowly dragging lures behind the boat, while mooching involves a more active approach with cut-plug herring bait. We'll show you both and see what the fish are in the mood for that day. Our boat is decked out with top-of-the-line rods, reels, and electronics to help us find the fish. We use downriggers to get our lures to the right depth where those big Chinooks are hanging out. And hey, if you've got a lucky lure you swear by, bring it along - we're always game to try what works!

Species You'll Want to Hook

Chinook Salmon, also known as King Salmon, are the stars of the show here in Vancouver. These bad boys are the largest of the Pacific salmon species, and let me tell you, they put up one heck of a fight! We're talking fish that can easily top 30 pounds, with some lucky anglers landing 50-pounders or more. Chinooks are known for their power and endurance - when one of these hits your line, you're in for a real battle. They've got a rich, flavorful meat that's prized by seafood lovers worldwide. The best time to target them is usually from July through September, but we can find them year-round in these waters. What makes Chinook so exciting is their unpredictable nature - one minute you're relaxed, enjoying the scenery, and the next you're locked in an epic struggle with a fish that's determined to test every bit of your skill and patience. Trust me, landing one of these beauties will give you fishing stories for years to come!

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Look, I've been guiding these waters for years, and I still get a thrill every time we head out. There's just something special about fishing in Vancouver.
