Big Fish Coming In !


There are reports of lots of big Salmon coming in to the docks at Tahsis. A couple of days ago I picked up a 39 pound Chinook for client James Buckley from Seattle, WA. Nice fish, bigger than the average 25 to 30 pound fish that we see daily here.


Today, I am hearing reports of Chinook Salmon in the high 40's and even a couple at 54 and 57 pounds! These are the big fish that we have been expecting, and they are in the area NOW!

Lots to Report!






Wow! Lots of new stuff to report - where to beging?







First of all, I have a new and larger boat! The new Sushi Hunter is a 26' Campion Toba Hardtop Cruiser. This is a great boat for family fishing trips. Lots of room to move around in, and protection from extremes of sun and rain. There is a private marine head (toilet) - essential for those long fishing trips!

I have the newest, best and biggest electronics, a new Lowrance LCX-112c GPS/Chartplotter/Fishfinder unit that is truly amazing to fish with. I have a brand new Icom IC-422 VHF Marine Radio with DSC that will transmit the exact location of the boat to the Coast Guard in the event of an emergency (hopefully never to be tested!). On top of all of that, the boat catches fish!

Fishing in the Tahsis area has been very good this year with lots of feisty Coho and great fighting Chinook to test your fishing skills. Lots of Chicken Halibut up to about 20 pounds with a great many big fish showing in the last week in the 100 to 150 pound class!

If you are thinking of a fishing trip this season, phone or email me as soon as possible as there are only a few dates available before the end of the fishing season. Don't wait, do it now!
