2018 OFFICIAL Vancouver-Howe Sound-Sechelt Reports Thread

Landed a Chrome 11lb Chinook on Sat. away from the pack. 160’, 3.5” glow spoon.

Way too many boats at Tunstall. Nothing attracts a crowd like a crowd. I was having flashbacks to sockeye season.

Lots of other places to hook winter Chinook.

How many boats? Had it to myself till I think around 945ish and then when I fished back up from hutt at around 1 there was maybe 3 boats

I'll be out today. Think I'm going to start at HIW

What heater is that. Gas or batteries. A nice option. That and a battery warmed jacket and you can be comfortable

Steel toe boots means this is a "work meeting"

Steel toe boots means this is a "work meeting"

Steel toes radiate the heat better into the toes?

No fish at Grace...

Aaaaaand no fish at the bell. One propane bottle lasted for the whole day though so that was a plus. Nice day.

remember ... it is wet heat and generates carbon monoxide.

In and out of the cabin door playing all those winter springs should keep the CO levels down...lol

Just an fyi, you can refill those little one lbs tanks with a 20lbs tank in a matter of minutes. Been doing it for some time now, just need a 15$ fitting.

How's the wind, gale forecast for the Sound but still in the Southern Straits today...I'm only dreaming anyway, if I'm lucky I will get to go look at the boat today but won't have time to push off, damn holiday cheer!
