When do you guys start fishin for chums out around vancouver? just looking for some action. fished for them over in Campbell River, just wondering what it is like out here?

Fished for them in CR also but i have never heard of anyone trying over here for them.
Not sure if it would work over here as there isnt the the tide rip action here that they get.

You can catch them from late Sept. into late Oct. around the Fraser mouth, Sandheads, North arm, T-10, Q/A, Pt. Grey, West Van shore. They fight great like Coho, and are just super for the smoker. They love chartreuse green but I get them on chovies, herring, spoons and hootchies.
Comeing soon to a river near you ! CHUMS ...... but I'm still waiting for the big white springs to hang out in Numbers .....then the chums .....chum.

I was just in Campbell River today and we were talking about the same thing - I've never fished for them but they were telling me they are unpredictable in their fight and as such are a blast to fish for. I too would like to know how to target them in the QA T10 area after the Whites are done.
