spent the weekend at the mouth for socs, caught 3 but now that it will be closed, i guess I'll go back to trying the cap mouth. Any word on if it has picked up these last few days, Fished 2 weekends ago and not much happening then. Thanks...

perhaps you should go fishing instead of working tomorrow, ;D I'll cover for you.

Haven't heard anything for a week, but I'd rather hear where and when you got 3 sox troy. With your luck you're sure to hook up along West Van. dog.

I was at the Fraser mouth. Took me 9 hours in total but finally got lucky. Saw one other boat bring one in on Sunday. It sure was slow

 

[troy d]

Hey Jim you know how much I love it at work. lol Still not sure what to do on the long weekend. Might go out to Port Albeni. What do you think?

 

[wishiniwasfishin]

back to the topic at hand - the cap. anything going on out there? it seems the water level is below 2, and i think today is the last day for fishing bait....

it seems like there should be the odd fish heading up there even in the low water. thinking of going to take a look on sunday, anyone want to join? leaving from kits early am...

 

[troy d]

I'll be out fishing from the cap mouth to just past the pink building all weekend. I hope the fishing picks up soon. I'll post when I get back each day.

If you catch fish off West Vancouver you have the proverbial horseshoes where the sun don't shine.............

Professional and Recreational Reports from Wednesday and Thursday would seem to suggest that salmon are extinct off the mouth of the Fraser, English Bay, West Vancouver and Howe Sound.

 

[troy d]

I know but where else should I go. Besides, thats fishing. If the weater is good, I could put a line down put my feet up and relax on the water. That is what is important to me. Catching fish is just the bonus.

 

[JetBoat Jim]

Troy has horseshoes up his you know where! you did get a couple of sockeye off the fraser on 2 rods right?

 

[troy d]

sure did. It took a while but we got em.. also had something snap my line like there was no tomorrow....

Report from this morning. Heard of one big one which jumped and spat the hook at Hole in the Wall. A mid twenties chromer.

Bell Buoy...zero...was fished by a few friends.

West Vancouver...I had that shoreline covered..NOTHING there.

Hole in the Wall to Sunset....a few in there.

This bar none has to be the WORST summer in the Vancouver area in recent memory...with the exception of Howe Sound.

Unrelated:

Just heard the guys ran out of fuel in False Creek. Good going.....it's only one of the BUSIEST weekends of the year. Kudos to that guy for stocking up his tanks before the weekend...and he's complaining he's going out of business because he doesn't sell enough. Sheesh. If you're on a trailer and thinking on heading out tomorrow...I recommend buying on land..you'll save some $$$$$$

Thanks for the report, Didn't go out today but will be out for sure on monday. Yes the fishing sure does suck this year. I can only hope it picks up in mid Aug and Sept.

 

[JetBoat Jim]

fishing was good today troy, you just gotta know where to look.

 

[troy d]

Hey Jim, Still waiting for you to show me the river. lol

 

[ralfish]

...who's the 'galoid on the right? :happy: ;D

 

[TheBigGuy]

Anything happening the last couple of days around Vancouver? Been damn nice weather someone must've been draggin a line.

 

[troy d]

I'm guessing it's a waiting game now. Only get weekends off, so I'll try again on Sat and let you know how it goes.

 

[JetBoat Jim]

call in sick! I seen many boats out there today.

 

[TheBigGuy]

I'll probably giver a try on Friday, if it's not too windy. I'll let you know if I make it out and have any luck.

Thanks, Troy
