2022 Vancouver-Howe Sound-Sechelt Reports Thread

[Tighthead]

What depth are you guys catching sockeye at?lol. Yesterday I got a whole bunch of coho on sockeye gear. No sockeye. We were going very slow. But realistically our lines were probably cruising at 30 45 and 40 ft. Now I'm thinking we should have been deeper. But in Port alberni earlier this year the sockeye were biting our top lines.

T10 on Saturday was 65'-100'

Flat calm

Flat calm

Depends where you plan to launch. It's blowing thru Howe Sound and Whitecaps. If you launch at Sunset or Horseshoe then it will be a very lumpy ride till you get around Pt Atkinson where the water will be flat. Launch in n van and it will be an easier ride.

I saw that Pelican once but wasn't sure so it's good to hear that's what it was.

Fished Sandheads this morning between 8 to 10. Got 2 spring between 70’ and 80’ on bait heading back to fish the mouth of Cap.

Got the Grand slam for species yesterday at SH Landed 2 Chinook, 5 Coho, 1 Sockeye and 1 Chum. Lost two other Sockeye and two Chinook.

My 9-year-old daughter landed the Chum. It put up a great fight and she fought it like a champ. No more Dad helping her at all. Made my buddy who was with us feel a bit guilty as he lost two Chinook and two sockeye.

Let me know if anyone finds a net floating at Sandheads. I guess the side to side troll knocked my net our of the holder!

Slow day at Sandheads for me this morning. Different speeds, different depths, and different gear all turn up the same result. Not even a bite.

How's the wind out there?

I called it at 10:30 but at that time there were whitecaps all over and pretty bumpy but fishable. Challenging for sure fishing solo.

Last minute decision ( sorry Tim) Ran across from the island Monday, lines in at sandheads at 10am, had two Sox and lost one by 10:30. Left at 2:00 with 6. lines at 70-80 ft Bit of a rough ride over, better coming home. Sure is tough fishing with all the current, not fun, as my wife says. Lol.

most kickers in that area have very low hours.

Same gear and locations at sandheads as yesterday but totally different results. 0 for 1. Left before the winds picked up and then boxed a nice hatchery coho at ambleside on a white hoochie.

Sandheads1 - Ab no score! Had a few unders and a chum to the boat. Then had a nice spring rip and run 3 times, somehow he spat the hooks on the way in.

It was a deadzone off t10 on the run out then I saw a few boats there on the way back around 1 pm, and one dude had a nice one on.

See ya all Friday!

Where in N. Van to launch? Is there more places besides Cates Park?

 

[Reeltime]

This beautiful fish gave a different kind of fight, no budging just solid head shaking screamer, hit him in the afternoon along west van.. west of the yellow can away from the crowds, 40' on bait, no idea on the weight no scale...just big, head was huge

Not really unless you include lgm that you need to be a client of, and deep cove marina. Cates is it really until horseshoe bay.
