First time posting, long time follower of the forum. Mostly because I have a couple young kids and rarely get out. Headed back from 2 great days of fishing today around Savary island. Friday fished grants reef and it was steady...probably released about 20 chinook between the 5 guys on the boat. Saturday headed to Sentry Shoal around 11 am and it was non stop until about 1:30 and then the bite came off but we were still hitting the odd one. Headed back to Vancouver today and decided to fish the south end of Texeda. Only one boat fishing which I can only assume was DMurph as I just read his previous post. We stopped and immediately trolled by him to see how the fishing was a he said lots of fish at 166 on white hootchie. Watched him hit and gaff release 3 or 4 fish in about a 30 min period. He was with his son I think but was doing everything himself....fishing 2 rods. Thanks for the info out there DMurph.....clearly not your 1st time fishing. He left about 40 min after we arrived and we decided to troll around the end of Texada where there is a tipped over marker marking a rock. We had 2 triple headers and brought in a good 25 pounder which was clearly the biggest of the trip. Biggest until then was about 17 pounds. Probably released about 10 there in an hour and a half or so. Great trip. Didn’t count our total for the 2.5 days of fishing but one of the guys on the boat was counting his own total and said he reeled in 20. We were alternating rods loosely and were 5 guys on the boat so I estimate we were around 80 total. The guy with 20 jumped the line a few times as we had 7 triple headers over the weekend. Fishing seems fantastic right now. The best since I was a kid. We had zero coho.....I think perhaps fisheries should close the coho and opened the chinook back up. Thanks for all the reports over the years. I’ll try to post after the dismal few days per year I can actually seem to find the time to get out there.
