Amazing BC Salmon Fishing Charter
I’ve just returned from three fabulous days of BC salmon fishing with Wayne Richardson of Offshore Charters. On the first and second days of the trip we fished at South Bank, off the West Coast of Vancouver Island near Ucluelet. There were five of us fishing the first day and we caught our limit of 2 Spring Salmon each within about eight hours. We also caught our limit of one Halibut each during that same fishing time.
The following morning we headed back to South Bank and again caught our limit of Springs and Halis. The weather was beautiful and we enjoyed six hours of premium salmon and halibut fishing.
The next morning we headed to Barkley Sound and caught another limit of Springs.
For those of you who are interested in the size of the fish (and aren’t we all) the Springs weighed in at 12 to 26 pounds, with all 4 of the fish that were over 20 pounds being wild Chinook. The wild fish seem to have just moved into the area this weekend so Spring salmon fishing should pick up even more, both in quantity and size of fish.
The Halibut ranged from 14 to 30 pounds, and the Halibut fishing was brisk.
We had no problems catching our limits on each of the 3 days we fished, and had numerous other bites, strikes and “ones-that-got-away”.
The fishing is incredible and will get even better heading into the end of June, July and August.
