Current conditions are great for the real start to our Saltwater Season for Chinook Salmon and Halibut on the west coast of Vancouve Island. Chinook in the 10-25 lb. class and Halibut averaging 25lbs, with many larger fish, have been common. Trolling deep for the Chinook salmon with spoons or Anchovies has been key. Halibut always prefer fresh baits such as Herring or Octopus. Boats are on the water today, so actual catch reports coming soon.
