FISHING CHARTER IN VANCOUVER'S PROTECTED WATERS
$466 For Chartered Boat For 4 People

You will be in a terrific location when you board your boat - and the boat itself is brand-new and fully equipped with the latest equipment and technology.

And the captain of the boat is young, enthusiastic, and helpful. He wants you to experience the best fishing in British Columbia and will give you all the tools and equipment necessary to do so. They feature Salmon Slayer Specialty Rigs that are "Guide-Tied" with care and knowledge, increasing your success when in pursuit of Pacific Salmon. Many visitors take these special rigs back to use in their local waters.


Salmon fishing remains good in the Vancouver area and the short run to the fishing grounds only takes 15-20 minutes before you drop your lines! This has been a solid winter-to-spring transition, as fishing has produced steady action with many winter Chinook being caught from undersized to some weighing-in at 18 to 20 lbs. Overall, the weather has been pleasant and it has been one of the mildest winters on record. There is fair opportunity to catch a chinook in the local area and it is nice to fish this time of year as the waters are quiet and relaxing, with less traffic or more room to maneuver.

We are fishing depths of 80 to 180 feet (close to the bottom) with bait or spoons. Lately, the army truck teaser heads, spoons and hootchies have worked like a charm. We would recommend the 4.0 coyote spoons in green glow/white, green glow/silver, black/red/white “Nasty Boy” or black/white “Midnight Rider”. Successful anglers have been fishing close to the bottom and quite deep, off of the downrigger. A productive combination was an anchovy fished in a teaser heads with either a purple or green flasher. The herring bait balls are abundant in the waters so the fish are feeding on this natural attraction.
