HomeOCTOBER 6 UPDATE
THE CAP MOUTH HAS SLOWED DOWN OVER THE LAST WEEK. WE ARE STILL HOOKING FISH ON ALMOST EVERY CHARTER BUT WE HAVE NOT SEEN THE NUMBERS LIKE WE DID LAST WEEK. ON AVERAGE WE HAVE BEEN HOOKING 2-4 FISH A TRIP…A COMBINATION OF BIG CHINOOK, JACK CHINOOK, AND COHO. WE DID LAND OUR FIRST WINTER CHINOOK OF THE YEAR TODAY ON THE SEASTAR WHICH BODES WELL FOR THE UPCOMING FEEDER/WINTER CHINOOK FISHERY. THE WINTER CHINOOK FISHERY CAN START AS EARLY AS OCTOBER…ESPECIALLY IN HOWE SOUND. THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW REPORTS STARTING TO TRICKLE IN FROM VANCOUVER HARBOUR AND HOWE SOUND THAT WINTER CHINOOK ARE STARTING TO SHOW.
WE SHOULD HAVE ANOTHER WEEK OR TWO OF FISHING OFF THE CAP FOR RETURNING FISH BEFORE WE SHIFT GEARS TO FEEDER/WINTER CHINOOK.
