HomeMAY 13th Vancouver Harbour Report
The wind spoiled our plans to fish the south side of Bowen Island this morning. Fortunately we got a good report from Pete on Hi Five that there was some decent action in the harbour a couple days ago. We trolled our way out from the QB marker out to the outer reaches of Vancouver Harbour. We worked the area for a few hours and marked some good bait on the southern shoreline. Hi Five had a crack at a few fish and we had a crack at a couple SOLID fish as well. We lost the first we hooked, but the second one stuck. The second fish we hooked took a serious run before getting tanked by a harbour seal. Luckily after a spirited battle with the chinook salmon and the seal we won the battle. The fish came in the boat and weighed in at 24 pounds!! An amazing fish for this time of year. The size of the chinook salmon so far this spring have been suprisingly large. On average the fish seemed to be 3-5 pounds larger than normal. Great to see. Reports from the south side of Bowen Island have been good over the last week when the wind is down. Nice to see to there is some fish in the harbour as well!
