We are definitely in full summer mode now! The temperatures have been hot, we are on the water daily and we have been chasing fish all over the Salish Sea! Chinook fishing has been good on our full day trips to the Gulf Island's, but on the slow side for our local Vancouver trips. Local Vancouver fishing should perk up now that we are finally seeing some summer like weather and more fish will stage locally, especially coho.

It has been a spring to forget from a weather perspective! The fishing on the other hand, has been very good on a catch and release basis for chinook salmon! In the next few weeks we should see the first waves of hatchery coho salmon, which will mark the first salmon retention fishery of the summer!

Bon Chovy Fishing Charters is looking for a key member to join our team as an assistant operations manager and full time guide. We are looking for someone who loves saltwater salmon fishing and wants to make it a lifestyle. This person needs to be friendly, patient, conservation minded and have exceptional customer service skills. This is a rare, full time salary position in the sport fishing industry that would start early in 2022.

April and May are some of the most active months for fishing in Vancouver and for fishing in Sidney. It is a catch and release fishery, but a great time to go out. Our Vancouver fishing trips operate daily out of Granville Island. We also have a boat in Sidney, servicing Southern Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands! Spring is here, give us a call to get out on a fishing trip!

While the fish have not all been big, a few sure have! We have been fortunate to be getting a shot or two each time out at some bigger than average winter chinoook! Our Sidney and South Gulf Charters have been successful on prawns as well!
