HomeVANCOUVER HARBOUR HALIBUT!!!!!!!!!
JEFF AND HIS GUESTS ON OUR 23 FOOT GRADY WHITE, “VAN HERRING” GOT ONE HECK OF A SURPRISE WHILE FISHING THE WEST VAN SHORELINE LAST WEEK. WHILE FISHING FOR CHINOOK SALMON DURING THE FLOODING TIDE THEY HOOKED AND LANDED A NICE HALIBUT AROUND THE 20 POUND MARK. HALIBUT ARE EXTREMELY RARE IN VANCOUVER HARBOUR, TO THE POINT WHERE THERE HAS NOT BEEN ONE CAUGHT IN RECENT MEMORY BY ANYONE. THE FISH WAS IN GOOD SHAPE AND HAD A LITTLE RED ON ITS BELLY INDICATING IT WAS LIKELY A FISH ON THE MOVE. OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS THERE HAS BEEN A NUMBER OF HALIBUT CAUGHT ON THE EAST SIDE OF GEORGIA STRAIT. IT IS A PROMISING SIGN THAT HALIBUT MAY BE CHOOSING TO STAY IN THE STRAIT OF GEORGIA A LITTLE MORE NOW.
