I don’t fish sangster that often myself but there is a cannon ball mountain on the southwest end that I seem to contribute to every time I do go there

Ah if there is a place to loose cannon balls like some of the spots off merry island I will find them...thanks for the tip! I'm going to give it a go August 2/3...

You should stop in at Bucaneer Bay and get some live herring the anchor off of Sangster. Its a really fun way to fish and very productive! A great experience.

Sangster always has massive amounts of bait, I remember years ago mooching off sangster when a pile of bait came through from surface to bottom had 3 of my buddies and 4 rods go off at the same time! then while dealing with mulitple fish lost one dumped bare hooks on the side of the boat and had a coho come right down the side and grab the hooks and take off again lol cluster but it was fun!

Ya I never miss an opportunity to drop by the mercers docks! My boat actually has a live well system that I have never used. I will make sure to give this a shot definitely. Cheers and thanks guys

Sorry to jump in on the conversation, but I’m heading up to secret cove with three girlfriends for an annual fishing trip, we are planning on fishing Texada. I have an 18 foot king fisher and have identified some good times to cross the straight - just wondering if you have any tips - times of day, routes etc. . I would like to be able to stay out fishing as late as possible but am concerned about a Harry trip home. Thanks and if you see a blue kingfisher on the water Thursday and into the weekend - wave hi

Howe sound was desimated true. although I've heard of guys getting xl size catch release. population coming back. obviously has to stay closed forever for obvious reasons that I can't say.

I agree I think Howe Sound is loaded with big lings and is probably due to be open, makes no sense to have the entire greater Vancouver gushing only thrasher for lings

My co workers family lives on Bowen island, showed me pictures of all the rock fish locals keep when fishing of their own docks.
Combine that with Asian share boats that are loaded with jig rods and....
Bottom fish will never be open near Vancouver. The illegal catch of bottom fish in Vancouver is probably more then most areas legal catch.

Hi. Any recent reports from Upwood/Epsom area. Going to be in the area tomorrow and have heard that the area has slowed down recently. Thanks.

I don’t know about Epsom but Bjerre has dropped right off for me. Admittedly I’m a poor salmon fisherman but I could do no wrong the first week of the season. This last week I’ve lost a couple but I’ve also gone out a few times without a bite.

Got skunked last night at Epsom. Was a bit surprised. Weather was crap here today but hope to get out tomorrow.

If it gets any worse I’ll just go throw a flasher and a lure into the drink and save myself four hours bobbing around in crappy conditions. Have lost two of each in the last two days. One to the reef (my fault) and another to some ****** Mustad braid (brand new 80 lbs).

I will be all over upwood and plan to tale a peak at sangster this weekend, weather permitting. Looks like some wind so we will see how it goes may stay inside texada.
I plan to head up Thursday afternoon and have a look around byng to Robert's creek too. It's been very good for me as of late around there.
Ack 15 to 25 late thursday se hope I beat it...so much for byng.
