Vancouver Island Reports

[bcprofisher]

I've missed a week in reporting here because I'm in the middle or organizing a Father's Day Weekend fishing derby and my free time has been minimal these days. Both salmon and halibut fishing has been excellent the last while. We are still fishing for immature feeder Chinook (King) salmon for a couple more weeks and then the big mature summer fish will arrive. I was out the past 2 days on salmon trips at Constance Bank which is 4 miles offshore of Victoria. We took 3 on Saturday, 14, 12 and 10 pounds and 3 more today, also loosing 2 to seals and 2 more that shook the hooks. Saturday we had 16 guys out on 4 boats, all part of a stag weekend and a picture of my crew is below. Also a pic of a very busy local boat ramp as the weather is low 80`s and flat waters. the 3rd picture is of Mt Baker in Washington State. (behind the tanker hard to see with the bright sun) Mt Baker is a dormant volcano in the same chain that includes Mt St. Helens.
