Sortie d'une demi-journée - Saumon kéta
Chinook Salmon Charter le août 28, 2025

Nous avons quitté le quai à l'heure et avons voyagé environ 30 minutes jusqu'à l'endroit où nous avons pêché. Jason avait tout le matériel installé et prêt à l'emploi. Il était très patient et nous a laissé l'aider à mettre les lignes à l'eau tout en nous montrant quelques astuces. Il nous a été très utile en nous donnant des conseils pour faire de notre journée un grand succès, et nous a laissé vivre l'expérience complète de décrocher la ligne du clip du downrigger, de ferrer le poisson et de le ramener. Son bateau était très spacieux pour 4 personnes et en bon état de fonctionnement. Il avait des boissons fraîches sur de la glace, et la meilleure attention était sa boîte à leurres remplie de bonbons à un sou, que mes deux petits-fils (et moi-même) avons savourés avec grand plaisir. Jason était très sympathique et adorait nous raconter ses histoires de pêche les plus palpitantes, accumulées au fil de ses nombreuses années de travail en tant que guide. Heureusement, les poissons mordaient bien ce jour-là et nous avons eu 5 heures d'action non-stop, ferrant beaucoup de Saumons kéta et de Saumons argentés sauvages sous-taille, mais nous sommes rentrés à la maison avec 3 beaux Saumons kéta et 3 Saumons argentés. Nous réserverions certainement à nouveau avec Jason et recommandons vivement Fishing Storie Charter si vous êtes à Campbell River et souhaitez passer une sortie agréable.

Vraies prises par ce capitaine

  • Two anglers proudly displaying a large Chinook Salmon on a fishing boat, enjoying a successful day on the water.
    Fish 1
    Saumon kéta
    Two first-timers from New Orleans got the full Campbell River welcome this morning. Kirk and Shu had never salmon fished before, and by the time we ran back to the dock they had a chrome 15-pounder in the box and were already asking about next year. Conditions were kind. Overcast skies, 12°C, and a light NW breeze at 2 knots kept the water calm — one metre or less across Discovery Passage. Good visibility, no fog, and easy, comfortable fishing for two newcomers finding their sea legs. We stayed off Seymour Narrows while it ebbed and worked the red can instead, trolling 603 Tomic plugs on the downriggers between 80 and 120 feet. Water temp was a warm 16°C, so the Chinook were up and eating. We landed a bunch — 6 released and 2 kept — with that 15-pounder the standout. Most fish this time of year run 12 to 16 lbs, with a genuine shot at a trophy 30-plus pounder. September is Tyee season, so there's no size limit and you can keep the big ones. We fished from the 27' Boston Whaler Conquest — heated cabin, private washroom, Starlink WiFi, and room for up to 4 guests. All gear provided, no experience needed. If Kirk and Shu can go from never-fished to first Chinook in one morning, so can you. Tyee season spots are filling fast for late September. Book at **hidden content**
  • A group of three anglers proudly displaying their catch, including a large Cod and Salmon, aboard a fishing boat on a sunny day.
    There's fishing, and then there's watching a grandfather, a father, and a son land salmon side by side for the first time. That was this morning aboard the Boston Whaler Conquest. David, Mike, and Mo came up from Washington State for their first day on the water in Campbell River together — three generations, one charter. Captain Jason had them off Coast Marina A Dock at first light and pointed south to the historic Tyee grounds off Cape Mudge. Conditions were kind. Overcast skies, 13°C, and just a whisper of NNW wind at 3 knots. Discovery Passage delivered flat calm to light chop, comfortable running all morning. That soft grey overcast light is exactly what salmon like. We trolled hoochies behind flashers with downriggers set at 180 feet, and the bite ran steady on the tail of the morning ebb after the 6:54 AM slack at Seymour Narrows. Six salmon in the box, eight released, with the best Chinook hitting 14 lbs — chrome bright and right in the Tyee-season pocket. Coho joined the party too, silver and full of fight. The Conquest offers a heated cabin, private washroom, Starlink WiFi, and room for up to four — perfect for family trips like this one. September is Tyee season, and spots are filling fast.

    Some mornings the strait hands you everything. Today was one of them. Captain Bruce ran the 6am trip on the 17' Boston Whaler Montauk with Gian, visiting from Saint Louis for his first crack at Campbell River Chinook. We rolled out under clear skies, 14°C, calm north wind, and 10km of visibility — you could see the mountains clean across the water. The forecast promised northwest wind later, but the seas we fished were flat, one metre or less, glass in every direction. We worked the historic Tyee grounds off Cape Mudge, trolling Tomic plugs on the downriggers between 80 and 120 feet. The flood tide built through the morning toward the 10:16 AM high, moving bait and turning on the bite. Water temp held warm at 16.8°C, so the fish were up and eating. The day gave up five Chinook — one kept, four released. The keeper was a chrome bright 17-pounder, thick and fresh with sea lice still on her. The rest were solid feeders in the 12-16 lb range, sent back to keep the run healthy. The look on Gian's face told the whole story. The Montauk is nimble and perfect for one or two anglers who want an intimate, hands-on day targeting specific spots with a veteran guide. Solunar rating was Good today and September's Tyee season is running strong. Spots are filling fast for September. Book your trip today at **hidden content**

    A bluebird Sunday on Discovery Passage, and a full-day salmon charter that delivered. Captain Jason ran the 27' Boston Whaler Conquest out to Grant's Reef with a crew of five from Winnipeg — a father and son among them, and first-timers on our water. What a way to spend a day with Dad. Conditions were about as good as September gives you. Air temp 16°C, light ESE wind at just 2 knots, scattered clouds and 10km visibility. Flat calm seas, a metre or less, and warm water at 16.5°C had the fish active and feeding. We trolled Tomic 602 plugs 80 to 120 feet down at 2.5 knots. The morning tide did the rest — Seymour Narrows slack before ebb at 8:13 AM, with the building flood pushing bait through the passage. The bite ran hot. Chinook and Coho both, chrome bright and mostly 12-16 lb feeders, with the best fish of the day going 17 pounds. Solunar forecast rated good, and the fish agreed. The Boston Whaler Conquest is built for days like this — heated cabin, private washroom, Starlink WiFi, and room for a group up to four. Ian, Chris, Marshall, Chris and Rick got the full Campbell River Tyee season experience. September is prime time. No slot limit now, so there's a real shot at a trophy Chinook.

    Some days the ocean gives it all up. Saturday was one of them. Aboard the 27' Boston Whaler Conquest, Captain Jason and a party of four limited out with eight Chinook and eight Coho by 10:30 in the morning. Conditions were flawless. Clear blue sky, 24°C, a light north wind at 3 knots, and glassy calm water across Discovery Passage. Seas held under a metre and visibility ran 10 km. With a new moon and an Excellent solunar rating, the fish were switched on from first light. We trolled Tomic 602 plugs on downriggers at 180 feet through the main channel between Vancouver Island and Quadra Island. Water temp sat at a warm 16.4°C, keeping the fish active and feeding hard. The morning flood tide through Seymour Narrows pushed bait and the rods answered — chrome bright Chinook in the 12-16 lb range with the best fish going 16 lbs, and silver Coho right alongside. The day belonged to Shane, who treated his parents to a full day on the water. Returning guests from Alberta, they got the full Campbell River experience. Yvonne, Dan, and Mom each felt a rod load up, and the smiles in the photos tell the rest. Boy, did it pay off.

    A fine day on Discovery Passage. Martyn and Helen joined Captain Bruce for a 4-hour introductory trip aboard the 17' Boston Whaler Montauk, and Martyn brought a chrome-bright Chinook to the net that made the whole outing. Conditions were kind. Overcast skies, 17°C, and a light north wind at just 2 knots — quiet, fishable, and comfortable. Seas ran a metre or less through the Passage, near flat with only a light ripple. The kind of calm midday that lets you work a spot right. We trolled hoochies on the downriggers at 80 to 120 feet off Cape Mudge, fishing the ebb as it ran toward the noon low. Water temp read 16.4°C — warm and the fish active. The timing was the story: the new moon had them feeding, the solunar forecast rated Excellent, and the major feeding window landed dead in the middle of our trip. When it lines up like that, you fish it hard. Martyn's rod buried and stayed down. The fish fought through the current before coming up silver — roughly 16-18 lbs, fresh from the salt with sea lice still on her. A trophy Tyee is always a chance this month, but a bright feeder like this is exactly what September delivers. The Montauk is nimble and perfect for two anglers who want an intimate day on the water with a veteran captain. Departs Coast Marina A Dock, free parking at Tyee Plaza.

    September delivered. William and Pat, brothers down from Washington on their first trip with us, joined Captain Jason aboard the 27' Boston Whaler Conquest for an early morning start in Discovery Passage. Conditions couldn't have been better. Clear sky, 13°C, and a light west wind at just 7 knots. Visibility ran a clean 10 km and the seas stayed under a metre — flat, easy water for a morning of trolling. Bright, calm, and comfortable. We ran hoochies behind flashers deep on the downriggers at 220ft, right in the feeding zone. Water temp sat at a warm 16.5°C, and the fish were on it. The bite built through the morning as the tide moved bait through the main channel, and it lined up perfectly with an EXCELLENT solunar forecast — the major feeding window ran 9:43 to 11:43 AM, and that's when it fired. Fourteen Chinook to the boat. Most were solid 12-16 lb feeders, with the best of the day a trophy pushing 22 lbs. This is Tyee season in Campbell River — the time of year when a real bruiser is on the table. The Boston Whaler Conquest kept us comfortable all morning: heated cabin, private washroom, Starlink WiFi, and room for up to four guests. A perfect boat for a brothers' trip.

    The Green Can delivered this afternoon. Luke and his dad Peter came out for their first-ever charter aboard our 27' Boston Whaler Conquest, and they left with a spread of Chinook and a story to tell. Conditions were textbook September. Clear sky, 13°C, west wind at just 7 knots, and visibility out past 10 km. The Discovery Passage forecast held seas to a metre or less through our afternoon window, so it fished flat and easy. We had the boat back in before the overnight northwest wind and fog moved in. We trolled hoochies and Tiger Prawn behind flashers, downriggers set 80 to 120 feet, working the flooding tide building toward the 5:03 PM high. Slack before ebb at Seymour Narrows hit at 5:04 PM, and with a New Moon overhead the solunar forecast was rated Excellent. The minor feeding window at moonrise lined up with high slack, and that's exactly when the rods started dancing. Twelve Chinook came to the boat — three kept, nine released. Most were solid 12 to 16 lb fish, chrome bright and fresh. The best taped 16 pounds. Luke and Peter had so much fish they're taking it straight to the local smokers.

    Some days the water just gives it up. Tuesday's midday trip aboard the 17' Boston Whaler Montauk was one of them. Captain Bruce ran Paul and Kim, visitors from White Rock, out to the red can on Discovery Passage for the 11 AM departure. Conditions were rewarding — 20°C under overcast skies, a light north wind at 6 knots, and seas of 1 metre or less. A comfortable, fishable day with 10 km visibility. The timing worked in our favour. Slack before flood at Seymour Narrows landed at 10:32 AM, right as we set lines, and the building flood tide turned the bite on. We trolled hoochies behind flashers with downriggers set 80 to 120 feet. Water temp read a warm 17.3°C, keeping the fish active. The action was electric. Three Chinook kept, four released — and the headline fish was a chrome bright 28-pounder, a true Tyee-season trophy. Most fish ran in the honest 12-16 lb range, exactly what September delivers here. Solunar forecast was rated Good, with the morning feeding window flowing right into our start. Best of all, this was Kim's first fishing trip ever — and it was a huge success. She and Paul are already planning their next one.

    The Tyee season is delivering. This morning Captain Bruce ran the 6 AM trip aboard our 17' Boston Whaler Montauk with Bonnie and Bruce, a party of two, and put a 23-pound chrome Chinook in their hands to start their day right. Conditions were about as good as September gives you. Air temp of 19°C, broken cloud, and a light easterly wind at 8 knots. Seas ran 1 metre or less with clean 10 km visibility — comfortable, fishable water all morning. The forecast called northwest 10 to 15 knots and it laid down nicely. We trolled Tomic plugs, the 602 pattern, down 80 to 120 feet through Discovery Passage. The bite tracked the tide, best around the 8:36 AM slack before flood and into the early push, which lined up with a Good solunar window and a major feeding period from 7:30 to 9:30 AM. Water temp of 17.4°C kept the fish active and higher in the column. Four Chinook came to the boat and all four were released — the 23-pounder was the standout, with the rest solid feeders in the 12-16 lb range. In Tyee season (Sept 1+) there's no maximum size, so a fish like that trophy is a keeper if you want it. These two chose to send them back.

Tyee season is on, and Friday's evening run proved it. We ran the Boston Whaler Conquest out to the Hump on Discovery Passage and found chrome bright Chinook waiting for us. Conditions were soft and easy. Air temp held at 13°C with a steady moderate rain — the kind of grey September evening that keeps the fish comfortable and biting. Wind was light out of the north, barely a whisper, with seas 1 metre or less. Flat, calm, and easy fishing all session. Visibility stayed clean at 10 km right through to sunset at 7:59. What was biting: feeder Chinook, mostly 12 to 16 lbs, with the best going 15 lbs. We trolled hoochies behind flashers down 80 to 120 feet, and the Army Truck pattern earned its keep. Our best window lined up with the late slack before flood at 6:23 PM — the hour either side turned the bite on. The Last Quarter moon and a Good solunar rating had the fish active into the evening. Three in the box, eight released to keep the run strong. Glen, Helen and their crew came up from Vancouver for their first time out with us, and they got the full Campbell River experience — a full deck of fish and a story to take home. The Conquest kept everyone dry and warm with the heated cabin and private washroom, and Starlink WiFi meant the photos went out before we hit the dock.

September 1 marked the opening of Tyee season here in Campbell River, and it opened right. Captain Bruce ran the evening trip aboard the 17' Boston Whaler Montauk, with Jay along solo to celebrate his wife's birthday out on the water. The conditions were about as good as it gets. Air temp held at 18°C under scattered clouds, with a whisper of ENE wind at just 2 knots. Visibility stretched clean across the strait to the mountains, and the marine forecast delivered seas of a metre or less — near glass at times. We fished the flood tide building toward the 7:37 PM high, right into the golden sunset bite. We worked The Hump in Discovery Passage, trolling Tomic plugs in blue glow on the downriggers at 80 to 120 feet. The blue glow lit up as the light faded and the Chinook responded. Fish ran the classic Tyee-season 12-16 lb range, chrome bright and full of fight, with a chance at a trophy 30-plus pounder any cast this month. Best window lined up with the building flood in the late afternoon and evening. The Montauk is nimble and made for this kind of trip — perfect for one or two anglers who want a focused, intimate day targeting specific spots. Captain Bruce brings decades of local knowledge and a calm, patient hand, ideal for first-timers. September is prime time. The Tyee are in and the limit is now 2 per day with no size max.

A fine morning on Discovery Passage. Captain Bruce ran the 4-hour introductory trip aboard the 17' Boston Whaler Montauk with James, visiting from Mississippi for his first Pacific salmon. Conditions were about as good as they get for late August. Air temp of 16°C, a light NNW breeze at just 6 knots, and clean 10 km visibility under a few high clouds. The marine forecast held with seas one metre or less — a gentle chop, comfortable water all morning. Sunrise at 6:31 AM gave us that soft light off the passage. We worked the green can, letting the morning ebb push bait through. Trolling Tomic plugs on the downriggers at 80 to 120 feet, we put eight Chinook to the boat over four hours. Seven released clean under the summer slot rules, and one chrome bright keeper in the 12 to 14 lb range for the box. Every fish came up bright and pulled hard. The timing helped. A Full Moon put the solunar forecast at Excellent, and the early feeding window lined right up with our first passes. For a first-timer, James picked it up fast and had the grin to prove it. The Montauk is nimble and perfect for one or two anglers — a classic open boat that gets you right on the fish. We depart Coast Marina A Dock with free parking at the south end of Tyee Plaza.

août 24, 2026
Ten fish to the boat and a chrome 17-pounder to headline the day. That was Sunday's afternoon introductory trip with Captain Bruce aboard the 17' Boston Whaler Montauk. Conditions were as good as summer gets. 21°C under broken clouds, light ESE wind at just 3 knots, and 10km visibility. The water carried a light chop and read a warm 17.7°C, which kept the Chinook active and feeding high in the column. Nothing better for a first-timer. We worked the Hump in Discovery Passage, trolling Tomic plugs — the 602 pattern did the damage — at 80 to 120 feet on the downriggers. The afternoon flood tide pushed bait ahead of the 4:34 PM slack at Seymour Narrows, and the fish came with it. Best window was the couple hours either side of that tide change. Kevin made the drive over from Revelstoke for his first shot at Discovery Passage salmon, and he got the full experience — steady action, ten Chinook to the boat, most in the honest 12-16 lb range with that 17-pounder standing above the rest. One kept, the rest released strong under the summer slot limit. Good fishing and good conservation, hand in hand. The Montauk is nimble and made for this — perfect for one or two anglers who want to target specific spots without the crowd.

Some mornings the water just gives. Friday delivered clear skies, 28°C, and a light east breeze at 5 knots — flat, fishable, and about as pleasant as a summer day gets on Discovery Passage. Seas held at a metre or less with just a light chop. You could see the treeline across the Passage clean and sharp. Captain Bruce ran the 6am departure aboard the 17' Boston Whaler Montauk, a nimble open boat built for getting into the right water and staying on the fish. Aboard was Renee, up from Vancouver for her very first day of salmon fishing. We worked Seymour Narrows and timed the passes to the tide. The flood pushes bait through the Narrows and the Chinook stack up to feed. We trolled hoochies — plastic squid lures — behind flashers on the downriggers, running 80 to 120 feet down. The morning bite lined right up with the solunar feeding window, and the rods delivered. Water was warm at 17.9°C, which had the fish active and holding higher in the column. We released plenty and kept a couple of clean feeders in the 12-16 lb range. There's always a shot at a trophy 30-pounder out here too, and those go back to keep the run strong. The look on Renee's face when the rod loaded up said it all. First Chinook, first day, bright fish to the net. Summer spots are filling fast.

Some trips you remember. Kristy brought William and Alexander out on the 27' Boston Whaler Conquest for one final salmon session before summer wrapped — visitors RVing Vancouver Island, first time on the water with us, all the way from Grand Forks. Conditions were about as good as August gives you. 18°C, overcast, and a whisper of wind — N at just 2 knots. Flat calm water, 1 metre or less, with 10 km of clean visibility. We ran the afternoon-into-evening window on purpose, timing our troll to the building flood and slack before flood at 6:36 PM. The major solunar feeding period fell 4:21 to 6:21 PM, right on top of the best tide. When the numbers stack like that, you go. We trolled 602 Tomic plugs down at 220 ft on the downriggers through the main channel between Vancouver Island and Quadra Island. Water was warm at 18.2°C and the fish were up and feeding. Steady action all evening — mostly clean 12-16 lb feeders, plenty of them. The fish of the day was Alexander's: a chrome, heavy Chinook that measured 91cm, right around 24 lbs. Over the summer slot limit, so we got the photo and released her strong to keep the run healthy. A great fish for a first-timer. The Conquest keeps you comfortable — heated cabin, private washroom, Starlink WiFi, room for four. As Kristy put it: "We will be calling you when we come back."

Birthday Chinook: Calgary First-Timer La
Birthday Chinook: Calgary First-Timer La
juillet 26, 2026
Some mornings just come together. Sunday brought Tyrone over from Calgary to celebrate his and his wife's birthday, and Captain Trevor put him on the fish aboard the 17' Boston Whaler Montauk. His words after: "Biggest fish they ever caught." Conditions were fair for late July. Overcast skies, 17°C, and 10 km visibility. Wind sat ESE at 15 km/h, gusting a little, but Discovery Passage gave us the shelter we needed. The marine forecast called for southeast 5 to 15 knots and seas a metre or less, and out there it was light chop. Easy water for a first-timer to find his footing. We trolled hoochies behind flashers at 75 feet on the downriggers, working the run toward the Seymour Narrows slack at 9:51 AM. As the current eased, the bite firmed up. The fish came chrome bright and healthy, most in that solid 12 to 16 lb range, with the best one going 16 lbs. Water temp read a warm 18.3°C, and the fish were active and feeding. A humpback whale rubbed the rock wall in the bay while the rods bent. That's Campbell River in summer. The Montauk is nimble and perfect for an intimate one or two person trip. Captain Trevor is a laid-back local who's great with beginners, so if it's your first time out, you're in good hands. Three departures daily at 6am, 11am, and 4pm.

Chrome Chinook off Cape Mudge - Returnin
juillet 17, 2026
Another solid day in the Tyee waters. On today's 4-hour introductory trip, Captain Bruce ran the 17-foot Boston Whaler Montauk out to Cape Mudge, the southern tip of Quadra Island, and put Samson on a chrome bright Chinook. Conditions were forgiving summer grey. Air temp held at 16°C with a light rain that never bothered the bite. Wind was near flat early, just a whisper from the east, and the marine forecast kept seas at 1 metre or less through Discovery Passage. Comfortable, easy water for a single angler. We trolled Tomic plugs at 80 to 120 feet, following the bait through the Cape Mudge tide lines. Water temp was a warm 17.4°C, which had the fish up and feeding. The timing helped too. The afternoon slack window lined up with the major solunar feeding period under a waxing crescent moon, and the solunar rating for the day read Good. Samson, a returning guest from Vancouver, came tight on a clean summer feeder in the 12 to 14 pound range, exactly the kind of chrome fish these waters are known for. Landed inside the slot and into the box. The Montauk is a nimble, classic open boat, perfect for one or two anglers who want to work specific spots with a veteran guide. We depart Coast Marina A Dock with free parking at the south end of Tyee Plaza. Three trips daily at 6 AM, 11 AM, and 4 PM. Summer Chinook are here and the water is warm.

There is no better welcome to Vancouver Island than a hot summer bite, and that is exactly what Paul and Breanne got on their first day on the water. Conditions were about as good as summer fishing gets. Air temp of 18°C under broken clouds, light easterly wind at 7 knots, and seas of one metre or less through Discovery Passage. Morning fog patches burned off early and left us with 10 km of clean visibility. The 27' Boston Whaler Conquest ran smooth and comfortable all morning. The Chinook were on the chew. We trolled hoochies and Tomic plugs on the downriggers between 80 and 130 feet, with the warm 17.2°C water keeping fish shallower than usual. The best window lined up with the slack before flood at 9:10 AM, when the tide change pushed bait into the channel and the rods started firing. The solunar forecast rated Good and the major feeding period fell right on that slack. By the end of the morning the boat had touched twenty-one fish, keeping our limit and releasing the rest. The headline catch was a chrome bright 16 lb Chinook that gave Paul a fight he will not forget. A Coho joined the box too. Most fish ran the honest 12 to 16 lb range typical for July. A family trip from Ottawa, a first-timer on the rod, and a trophy-class Chinook to show for it. That is a Campbell River memory. The Conquest offers a heated cabin, Starlink WiFi, and a private washroom, perfect for groups up to four. Summer spots are filling fast. Book your trip today at **hidden content**.

What a morning. Captain Jason took a boys trip out on the 27' Boston Whaler Conquest for a 5-hour half-day salmon charter, and Seymour Narrows lit up. Conditions were made for it. A comfortable 14°C, few clouds, and a light WNW breeze at 11 km/h with 10 km of clean visibility. Seas ran 1 metre or less — easy, workable water. Summer means long days here, and with the sun up at 5:18 AM we had all the light we needed. The fishing spoke for itself: nineteen fish to the boat, a mix of Chinook and Coho, with 4 kept and 15 released. The headline was a chrome-bright 16 lb Chinook — silver, fat, and fresh off the bait. Most Chinook ran the solid 12-16 lb range typical this season, with the water sitting at a warm 17.6°C and fish holding shallow. We trolled hoochies behind flashers on downriggers at 50 feet, working the window around the 9:40 AM slack tide when the current turned the bite on. Patrick's crew got the full Discovery Passage experience — the pull of the current, the scream of the drag, and a lot of thumbs up. We released a good number to keep the run strong, and taught the young anglers why that matters. The Boston Whaler Conquest keeps everyone comfortable with a heated cabin, private washroom, and Starlink WiFi — perfect for families and groups up to 4.

A bluebird summer morning on the water. Captain Bruce ran the 6 AM introductory trip aboard the 17' Boston Whaler Montauk with Maxime and Eliott, first-timers up from Montreal. Conditions were about as good as July gives us. Air temp climbed to 21°C under scattered clouds and clear blue sky, with a light east wind at just 5 knots. Seas ran a metre or less — light chop, nothing more. Visibility stretched past 10 km, mountains sharp across the strait. Easy, comfortable water for two guys learning the ropes. We fished the green can in Discovery Passage, trolling hoochies behind flashers with UV cuttlefish down 80 to 120 feet. Water was warm at 17.9°C, so the fish were active. We picked away at feeder Chinook in the 12-16 lb class with Coho mixed through, timing the morning around the 9:40 AM Seymour Narrows slack when the bite settled in. One bright hatchery fish in the box, seventeen released — steady action all morning. The last quarter moon had the solunar rating sitting good, and the fish cooperated. For two first-timers, it was the full Campbell River experience: chrome fish, wide grins, and hands that smelled of the sea. The Montauk is nimble and perfect for two anglers — a classic open-boat experience with a veteran captain who knows this water cold.

What a way to spend a birthday. Ron and Donna joined us aboard the Boston Whaler Conquest for a half-day morning charter, their first time on the water with us, and the salmon were in a generous mood. Conditions were postcard-perfect. Clear sky, 22°C, and a feather-light easterly breeze under 9 km/h. The Passage lay flat calm — seas one metre or less — with the Coast Mountains sharp on the horizon and visibility out to 10 km. You could not ask for a better first day on the salt. We worked the red and green cans on the early flood, trolling hoochies behind flashers with downriggers set deep at 220 feet. Water temp sat at a warm 16.8°C and the fish were active. Slack before flood at 6:11 AM lined up with the major solunar feeding window, and the rods started firing — lots of doubleheaders, two fish on at once, hands full and grins wide. By the end of the morning: 4 kept, 15 released. A healthy mix of Chinook and Coho, most Chinook in the 12-16 lb range, topped by a chrome-bright 16-pounder fresh from the salt. The bigger fish went back to keep the run strong — conservation matters to us, and Ron and Donna got the full experience of feeling that power on the line. The Conquest is built for days like this: heated cabin, private washroom, Starlink WiFi, and room for groups up to 4. Free parking at Tyee Plaza, departing Coast Marina A Dock.

Fifteen Chinook salmon released on a Monday afternoon half-day charter out of Campbell River, with a chrome bright 24-pounder headlining the day. The summer bite in Discovery Passage is delivering. Conditions were near-perfect: 22°C under overcast skies, light WNW winds at 8 km/h, seas under 1 metre, and 10 km visibility. The kind of afternoon where the water barely moves and every rod bump gets your heart going. We fished the red can area on the flood tide following a dead-low 0.0-foot tide at 12:56 PM, and the incoming current pushed fish right through our zone. The new moon had the solunar forecast rated Excellent, and the fish responded. Captain Jason ran the 27-foot Boston Whaler Conquest with downriggers set at 220 feet — deeper than typical summer depths, but the warm 16°C surface water pushed the Chinook down. Army Truck hoochies behind flashers were the ticket. The bite was steady through the afternoon, with most fish in the solid 12 to 16-pound range and that standout 24-pounder that had the whole boat cheering. Today's guests were the Spragg family — Jamie, Kathryn, Owen, and Alison — visiting from Australia on their first fishing charter. Owen, the youngest of the crew, landed the biggest fish of the day and declared it the best day of his life. The Boston Whaler Conquest's spacious deck, heated cabin, and private washroom made it a comfortable family outing, and Starlink WiFi meant the photos were heading back to Australia before the fish were even released. All 15 Chinook were released in excellent condition. Conservation is part of the story here, and watching those chrome bright fish swim back into Discovery Passage is its own reward.

Captain Bruce had a strong morning out of Campbell River on June 6th, working the historic Cape Mudge grounds off the southern tip of Quadra Island aboard the 17' Boston Whaler Montauk. Conditions were textbook early summer — 14°C air temperature, northwest winds at a gentle 6 km/h, overcast skies with no rain, and seas at 1 metre or less across Discovery Passage. The grey light that marine anglers know and love. Visibility held at 10 km throughout. The morning's low tide at 6:30 AM transitioned into the day's tidal rhythm, with the key slack before ebb arriving at 10:01 AM at Seymour Narrows. Captain Bruce positioned at Cape Mudge to intercept the tide change — and the fish responded. Six Chinook salmon were hooked, fought hard, and released in excellent condition. The Army truck hoochie pattern behind flashers did the work in the 80-150 foot depth range where summer feeders are holding. The hatchery coho — a chrome-bright, healthy fish confirmed on photo — was retained for the table. Tonight's destination: the Rip Tide Pub. Today's guests were first-timers from San Diego experiencing Discovery Passage for the very first time. Two people, one nimble Boston Whaler Montauk, and a morning that delivered everything Campbell River fishing promises. The Montauk's open-boat design is ideal for two-person trips — every cast feels personal, every fish is right in front of you. Water temperature measured 15.4°C — warm and active. The solunar forecast for the day rated Good, with a minor feeding window at moonrise running 10:29 to 11:29 AM overlapping the post-slack bite. Summer Chinook are running 12-16 lbs with a real shot at a 30+ lb trophy. Coho are showing up alongside them at Cape Mudge. This is the season. Spots are filling fast for June and July morning departures. Captain Bruce runs three departures daily — 6 AM, 11 AM, and 4 PM — perfect for 2-person intro trips or couples wanting the full Discovery Passage experience. Book at **hidden content**

7 Fish to the Boat on Discovery Passage
7 Fish to the Boat on Discovery Passage
juin 5, 2026
Some days on the water remind you exactly why you made the trip. Thursday morning on Discovery Passage was one of those days. Captain Bruce headed out of Coast Marina on the 17' Boston Whaler Montauk under overcast skies with the air sitting at 12°C and a light southwest wind barely ruffling the surface. Seas were 1 metre or less — comfortable, calm, and perfect for working the main channel between Vancouver Island and Quadra Island. Trolling spoons through the warm 15.2°C water, the morning produced 6 Chinook released and 1 hatchery Coho kept for the barbecue. The Coho went home chrome bright and in great shape. The released Chinook went back healthy — conservation-minded fishing at its best. The approach of the 8:57 AM slack at Seymour Narrows helped concentrate the morning bite, with the minor solunar feeding window between 9 and 10 AM adding a productive edge to the action. Today's guest was Christine, visiting from Calgary on her very first saltwater charter. Seven fish to the boat on a 4-hour introductory trip — that's a first-timer experience worth talking about back home. The look on Christine's face when that Coho came to the net? That's the whole story. The Boston Whaler Montauk is purpose-built for exactly this kind of fishing — nimble enough to target specific spots in Discovery Passage, stable enough to fish comfortably in the morning chop. Two-person trips on this vessel are intimate and focused, with Captain Bruce's veteran local knowledge guiding every move. June is shaping up beautifully. Water temps are warm, fish are active, and the days are long — sunrise at 5:14 AM gives you a serious head start.

Captain Trevor put the Boston Whaler Montauk right where it needed to be today — Discovery Passage, main channel, working the current seams between Vancouver Island and Quadra Island. Conditions were ideal for a June day on the water. Air temperature held at 13°C under overcast skies with barely a breath of wind — just 4 km/h out of the west-northwest. Seas stayed at a metre or less, making for a comfortable ride in the nimble 17-foot Montauk. Visibility was wide open at 10 km with no fog to contend with. The bite came as the tide drained toward a 2.7-foot low at 2:11 PM, a big swing from the morning high that flushed bait through the passage. Two chrome bright salmon came to the boat, both in outstanding condition — silver sides, clean fins, the kind of fish that make your arms tired and your face hurt from grinning. The bigger of the two had real weight to it, consistent with the 12-to-16-pound fish we've been seeing this early summer season, with always a chance at a trophy 30-pounder moving through. Water temperature hit 15°C, which has the fish active and holding in the 80-to-120-foot range — perfect for trolling. The Montauk's nimble design lets Captain Trevor work specific spots and current edges that bigger boats can't access, and today that precision paid off. The 4-hour trips are running three departures daily at 6 AM, 11 AM, and 4 PM out of Coast Marina A Dock, with free parking at Tyee Plaza.

Six Chinook salmon hooked and released in four hours. That was the scorecard today as Captain Bruce worked the historic Tyee waters off Cape Mudge aboard the 17-foot Boston Whaler Montauk. Conditions were ideal for a midday session. Air temperature held at a pleasant 20°C under overcast skies with light WNW winds at 7 km/h. Seas were calm at 1 metre or less with excellent visibility. The marine forecast had northwest winds building later in the evening, but our 11 AM to 3 PM window was smooth and comfortable — perfect conditions for a first-time angler. The bite turned on right as the tide bottomed out. A 2.4-foot low at 1:37 PM coincided with slack water at Seymour Narrows at 1:43 PM, creating a textbook feeding window that the Chinook couldn't resist. Trolling hoochies behind flashers in the 80-120 foot range, Captain Bruce put the nimble Montauk on productive water along the southern tip of Quadra Island where warm 15.1°C water had fish holding shallower than usual. The best fish of the day was a chrome bright 15-pounder — a thick, healthy summer Chinook that put on a show before being released in perfect condition. All six fish were carefully released, keeping the run strong for the season ahead. Today's guest Joerg traveled all the way from Germany as a graduation present to himself, and Campbell River delivered in spectacular fashion. His first-ever salmon fishing trip turned into an afternoon he won't soon forget — six hookups, six fights, and a 15-pound best fish on his introductory trip. No experience needed, and the ocean provided a world-class welcome. The Boston Whaler Montauk is purpose-built for these intimate 2-person trips. Nimble enough to target specific current seams and structure, with Captain Bruce's decades of local knowledge guiding every move.

Eight Chinook salmon came to the boat today on a 4-hour introductory trip through Discovery Passage, and every one of them went back to swim another day. The best fish pushed 9 pounds — chrome bright and full of fight. Captain Bruce took first-time guests Brendan and Nami out aboard the 17-foot Boston Whaler Montauk, departing Coast Marina at 11:00 AM. Conditions were about as good as it gets for early June: 29°C air temperature, light east wind at 7 knots, seas under one metre, and visibility stretching past 10 kilometres. Blue sky, snow-capped mountains ringing the passage, and calm water from rail to rail. The technique was straightforward — trolling hoochies behind flashers through the main channel of Discovery Passage. Water temperature came in at 15.1°C, warm enough to push the Chinook into shallower feeding lanes. The key window was the slack before flood at 1:06 PM, which lined up with a major solunar feeding period under a full moon. That combination turned the bite on, and the fish cooperated. Brendan and Nami made the drive down from Grand Prairie for their first ocean salmon fishing experience, and they picked the right day. The Montauk is nimble and perfect for a party of two — Captain Bruce can work specific spots and current seams that bigger boats can't access. Every fish was a first for these two, and the smiles told the whole story. Summer Chinook fishing in Campbell River is off to a strong start.

Sometimes the best fishing days aren't measured in what you keep — they're measured in what comes to the boat. Today on Discovery Passage, Captain Jason put first-time guests Rosie, Alex, Michael, and Katrina from Europe onto 11 Chinook salmon in a single half-day charter. Every one of those fish went back into the water, just the way they'd planned it. Conditions were classic spring Campbell River: 17°C air temperature, northwest wind at 10 knots with afternoon gusts to 32 km/h, broken clouds, and 10 km visibility. Sea state was under 1 metre - comfortable fishing throughout on the 27' Boston Whaler Conquest. The heated cabin gave the group a warm base when the gusts kicked up, and the premium electronics kept us dialed into the productive water. Water temperature was running at 15.1°C - warm spring conditions that had the Chinook active and feeding. We ran plugs and hoochies on downriggers at 180 feet and worked the flood tide building toward high water at 5:27 PM. The critical window came right around the slack before ebb at 5:38 PM, when the current transition concentrated baitfish and the bite sharpened. Best fish of the day went 14 lbs - a quality spring Chinook on a catch-and-release mission. Eleven fish to the boat in five hours is the kind of session that turns a first-time angler into a lifelong one. This group came to Discovery Passage for the experience of salmon fishing on Vancouver Island, and Campbell River delivered exactly that. Spring Chinook are running well in Discovery Passage right now, with fish in the 12-20 lb range and plenty of willing biters in the 150-200 foot zone. If you've been thinking about booking a half-day or full-day charter this spring, the bite is on.

What a day on the water. Terry, Montana, and Jason drove over from Kelowna for their first fishing trip in Campbell River with Fishing Storie Charters — and Discovery Passage delivered in a big way. Twelve Chinook hooked and released over the course of a full-day charter aboard our 27' Boston Whaler Conquest. Conditions were near perfect for late May. Air temperature hit 24°C under mostly clear skies with a light west-northwest breeze at 8 knots. Seas were calm at under 1 metre with excellent visibility across the passage. We had a comfortable, fishable day from start to finish. The bite turned on as we approached the slack before flood at 9:21 AM in Seymour Narrows. Fish were holding deep — we ran Tomic plugs on downriggers at 220 feet and the Chinook were there waiting. Water temperature was 15.1°C, and the fish were active and aggressive. The best Chinook of the day went 14 pounds, chrome bright and full of fight on the long pull from depth. Most fish ranged from 12 to 15 pounds — healthy spring Chinook in excellent condition. Every fish was released carefully, swimming strong back into the current. The crew from Kelowna had never experienced anything like it — twelve hookups on their very first Campbell River trip. The heated cabin on the Conquest kept everyone comfortable during the early morning run out, and our Starlink WiFi meant photos were heading home to family before we even got back to the dock.

mai 24, 2026
Sunday, May 24, 2026 — Captain Bruce took the 17' Boston Whaler Montauk out of Coast Marina A Dock for the midday 4-hour trip, and Cape Mudge delivered a solid spring session. Five Chinook salmon were hooked and released, with the best fish of the day coming in at 7 lbs — a healthy feeder Chinook in chrome-bright condition right off the historic Tyee grounds at the southern tip of Quadra Island. Conditions on the water were active but fishable. Air temperature was a pleasant 17°C with an ESE wind running 22 km/h and gusting to 39 km/h — enough to put a chop on the water but well within the Montauk's range. The Environment Canada marine forecast called for 1 metre seas or less, and that held true through our time on the grounds. Overcast skies meant excellent diffused light — ideal for trolling and comfortable for guests. The tide timing worked in our favour. High water at 12:25 PM and a slack before ebb at 12:57 PM put us right in the zone as the current began its afternoon run through Discovery Passage. That ebb flow concentrates bait along the Cape Mudge rip, and Captain Bruce ran Tomic plugs through the zone at 60 to 100 feet in 14.7°C water. The solunar minor feeding period ran right through the first hour — the fish were active and the plugs did their job. Today's guests were on their first fishing trip with us — a 4-hour intro experience — and came away with five bites and a new appreciation for what Discovery Passage can produce in spring. The Montauk is the perfect platform for this kind of targeted fishing: nimble enough to work the specific rips and current seams at Cape Mudge, with free parking at Tyee Plaza and a clean, classic open boat experience. Spring Chinook are in the water and feeding. The Cape Mudge grounds are producing. If you've been thinking about booking a trip to Campbell River, May and June are excellent windows before the summer crowds arrive. Spots available for our 6 AM, 11 AM, and 4 PM departures.

Two Chrome Bright Winter Chinook on a Ra

Captain Bruce and the Boston Whaler Montauk proved again why Campbell River earns its reputation as the Salmon Capital of the World — even in the quiet months. Conditions were honest March fishing. Four degrees, light rain, an east wind barely stirring the surface. Seas stayed under a metre and the Montauk slipped through the chop without complaint. Visibility was low with overcast skies and rain, but Captain Bruce knows these waters by feel as much as by sight. The target was winter Chinook in Seymour Narrows, timing the approach around the 9:20 AM slack before flood. When the current in the Narrows drops from 7.5 knots to nothing, the bait suspends and the Chinook move in to feed. That is exactly what happened. Two chrome bright fish came to the boat, both in the 12 to 15 pound range — healthy, silver, and full of fight. Downriggers were set deep, 180 to 240 feet, where the cold water holds the feeders this time of year. Water temperature was 7.5°C. The solunar forecast rated the day as Good, with a major feeding period from 6:11 to 8:11 AM aligning nicely with the building tide change. The last quarter moon at 35 percent illumination kept conditions favorable. This was a 4-hour introductory trip — proof that you do not need a full day to get into fish when the captain knows where to be and when to be there. The Montauk is nimble, quick to the grounds, and perfect for an intimate fishing experience with one or two anglers. Spring Chinook fishing is underway in Campbell River. Spots are filling for March and April. Book your trip at **hidden content** and let Captain Bruce put you on the fish.

Some days the ocean gives it all up. Saturday was one of them. Aboard the 27' Boston Whaler Conquest, Captain Jason and a party of four limited out with eight Chinook and eight Coho by 10:30 in the morning. Conditions were flawless. Clear blue sky, 24°C, a light north wind at 3 knots, and glassy calm water across Discovery Passage. Seas held under a metre and visibility ran 10 km. With a new moon and an Excellent solunar rating, the fish were switched on from first light. We trolled Tomic 602 plugs on downriggers at 180 feet through the main channel between Vancouver Island and Quadra Island. Water temp sat at a warm 16.4°C, keeping the fish active and feeding hard. The morning flood tide through Seymour Narrows pushed bait and the rods answered — chrome bright Chinook in the 12-16 lb range with the best fish going 16 lbs, and silver Coho right alongside. The day belonged to Shane, who treated his parents to a full day on the water. Returning guests from Alberta, they got the full Campbell River experience. Yvonne, Dan, and Mom each felt a rod load up, and the smiles in the photos tell the rest. Boy, did it pay off.

A fine day on Discovery Passage. Martyn and Helen joined Captain Bruce for a 4-hour introductory trip aboard the 17' Boston Whaler Montauk, and Martyn brought a chrome-bright Chinook to the net that made the whole outing. Conditions were kind. Overcast skies, 17°C, and a light north wind at just 2 knots — quiet, fishable, and comfortable. Seas ran a metre or less through the Passage, near flat with only a light ripple. The kind of calm midday that lets you work a spot right. We trolled hoochies on the downriggers at 80 to 120 feet off Cape Mudge, fishing the ebb as it ran toward the noon low. Water temp read 16.4°C — warm and the fish active. The timing was the story: the new moon had them feeding, the solunar forecast rated Excellent, and the major feeding window landed dead in the middle of our trip. When it lines up like that, you fish it hard. Martyn's rod buried and stayed down. The fish fought through the current before coming up silver — roughly 16-18 lbs, fresh from the salt with sea lice still on her. A trophy Tyee is always a chance this month, but a bright feeder like this is exactly what September delivers. The Montauk is nimble and perfect for two anglers who want an intimate day on the water with a veteran captain. Departs Coast Marina A Dock, free parking at Tyee Plaza.

Some days the water just gives it up. Tuesday's midday trip aboard the 17' Boston Whaler Montauk was one of them. Captain Bruce ran Paul and Kim, visitors from White Rock, out to the red can on Discovery Passage for the 11 AM departure. Conditions were rewarding — 20°C under overcast skies, a light north wind at 6 knots, and seas of 1 metre or less. A comfortable, fishable day with 10 km visibility. The timing worked in our favour. Slack before flood at Seymour Narrows landed at 10:32 AM, right as we set lines, and the building flood tide turned the bite on. We trolled hoochies behind flashers with downriggers set 80 to 120 feet. Water temp read a warm 17.3°C, keeping the fish active. The action was electric. Three Chinook kept, four released — and the headline fish was a chrome bright 28-pounder, a true Tyee-season trophy. Most fish ran in the honest 12-16 lb range, exactly what September delivers here. Solunar forecast was rated Good, with the morning feeding window flowing right into our start. Best of all, this was Kim's first fishing trip ever — and it was a huge success. She and Paul are already planning their next one. The Montauk is nimble and perfect for two anglers who want an intimate, focused day on the water with a veteran guide who knows every eddy in the passage.

Chrome Chinook and an Evening Bite to Re
Chrome Chinook and an Evening Bite to Re
septembre 4, 2026
Tyee season is on, and Friday's evening run proved it. We ran the Boston Whaler Conquest out to the Hump on Discovery Passage and found chrome bright Chinook waiting for us. Conditions were soft and easy. Air temp held at 13°C with a steady moderate rain — the kind of grey September evening that keeps the fish comfortable and biting. Wind was light out of the north, barely a whisper, with seas 1 metre or less. Flat, calm, and easy fishing all session. Visibility stayed clean at 10 km right through to sunset at 7:59. What was biting: feeder Chinook, mostly 12 to 16 lbs, with the best going 15 lbs. We trolled hoochies behind flashers down 80 to 120 feet, and the Army Truck pattern earned its keep. Our best window lined up with the late slack before flood at 6:23 PM — the hour either side turned the bite on. The Last Quarter moon and a Good solunar rating had the fish active into the evening. Three in the box, eight released to keep the run strong. Glen, Helen and their crew came up from Vancouver for their first time out with us, and they got the full Campbell River experience — a full deck of fish and a story to take home. The Conquest kept everyone dry and warm with the heated cabin and private washroom, and Starlink WiFi meant the photos went out before we hit the dock. September is prime — Tyee season means no size limit and a real shot at a trophy 30-plus pounder. Spots are filling fast. Book your trip today at **hidden content**

Tyee Season Kicks Off with Chrome Chinoo
septembre 1, 2026
September 1 marked the opening of Tyee season here in Campbell River, and it opened right. Captain Bruce ran the evening trip aboard the 17' Boston Whaler Montauk, with Jay along solo to celebrate his wife's birthday out on the water. The conditions were about as good as it gets. Air temp held at 18°C under scattered clouds, with a whisper of ENE wind at just 2 knots. Visibility stretched clean across the strait to the mountains, and the marine forecast delivered seas of a metre or less — near glass at times. We fished the flood tide building toward the 7:37 PM high, right into the golden sunset bite. We worked The Hump in Discovery Passage, trolling Tomic plugs in blue glow on the downriggers at 80 to 120 feet. The blue glow lit up as the light faded and the Chinook responded. Fish ran the classic Tyee-season 12-16 lb range, chrome bright and full of fight, with a chance at a trophy 30-plus pounder any cast this month. Best window lined up with the building flood in the late afternoon and evening. The Montauk is nimble and made for this kind of trip — perfect for one or two anglers who want a focused, intimate day targeting specific spots. Captain Bruce brings decades of local knowledge and a calm, patient hand, ideal for first-timers. September is prime time. The Tyee are in and the limit is now 2 per day with no size max.

A fine morning on Discovery Passage. Captain Bruce ran the 4-hour introductory trip aboard the 17' Boston Whaler Montauk with James, visiting from Mississippi for his first Pacific salmon. Conditions were about as good as they get for late August. Air temp of 16°C, a light NNW breeze at just 6 knots, and clean 10 km visibility under a few high clouds. The marine forecast held with seas one metre or less — a gentle chop, comfortable water all morning. Sunrise at 6:31 AM gave us that soft light off the passage. We worked the green can, letting the morning ebb push bait through. Trolling Tomic plugs on the downriggers at 80 to 120 feet, we put eight Chinook to the boat over four hours. Seven released clean under the summer slot rules, and one chrome bright keeper in the 12 to 14 lb range for the box. Every fish came up bright and pulled hard. The timing helped. A Full Moon put the solunar forecast at Excellent, and the early feeding window lined right up with our first passes. For a first-timer, James picked it up fast and had the grin to prove it. The Montauk is nimble and perfect for one or two anglers — a classic open boat that gets you right on the fish. We depart Coast Marina A Dock with free parking at the south end of Tyee Plaza.

Ten Chinook to the Boat — Chrome 17-Poun
août 24, 2026
Ten fish to the boat and a chrome 17-pounder to headline the day. That was Sunday's afternoon introductory trip with Captain Bruce aboard the 17' Boston Whaler Montauk. Conditions were as good as summer gets. 21°C under broken clouds, light ESE wind at just 3 knots, and 10km visibility. The water carried a light chop and read a warm 17.7°C, which kept the Chinook active and feeding high in the column. Nothing better for a first-timer. We worked the Hump in Discovery Passage, trolling Tomic plugs — the 602 pattern did the damage — at 80 to 120 feet on the downriggers. The afternoon flood tide pushed bait ahead of the 4:34 PM slack at Seymour Narrows, and the fish came with it. Best window was the couple hours either side of that tide change. Kevin made the drive over from Revelstoke for his first shot at Discovery Passage salmon, and he got the full experience — steady action, ten Chinook to the boat, most in the honest 12-16 lb range with that 17-pounder standing above the rest. One kept, the rest released strong under the summer slot limit. Good fishing and good conservation, hand in hand. The Montauk is nimble and made for this — perfect for one or two anglers who want to target specific spots without the crowd. Classic open-boat salmon fishing with a veteran guide who knows every eddy in the Passage. August and September fishing is prime, and spots are filling fast.

Some mornings the water just gives. Friday delivered clear skies, 28°C, and a light east breeze at 5 knots — flat, fishable, and about as pleasant as a summer day gets on Discovery Passage. Seas held at a metre or less with just a light chop. You could see the treeline across the Passage clean and sharp. Captain Bruce ran the 6am departure aboard the 17' Boston Whaler Montauk, a nimble open boat built for getting into the right water and staying on the fish. Aboard was Renee, up from Vancouver for her very first day of salmon fishing. We worked Seymour Narrows and timed the passes to the tide. The flood pushes bait through the Narrows and the Chinook stack up to feed. We trolled hoochies — plastic squid lures — behind flashers on the downriggers, running 80 to 120 feet down. The morning bite lined right up with the solunar feeding window, and the rods delivered. Water was warm at 17.9°C, which had the fish active and holding higher in the column. We released plenty and kept a couple of clean feeders in the 12-16 lb range. There's always a shot at a trophy 30-pounder out here too, and those go back to keep the run strong. The look on Renee's face when the rod loaded up said it all. First Chinook, first day, bright fish to the net. Summer spots are filling fast.

Some trips you remember. Kristy brought William and Alexander out on the 27' Boston Whaler Conquest for one final salmon session before summer wrapped — visitors RVing Vancouver Island, first time on the water with us, all the way from Grand Forks. Conditions were about as good as August gives you. 18°C, overcast, and a whisper of wind — N at just 2 knots. Flat calm water, 1 metre or less, with 10 km of clean visibility. We ran the afternoon-into-evening window on purpose, timing our troll to the building flood and slack before flood at 6:36 PM. The major solunar feeding period fell 4:21 to 6:21 PM, right on top of the best tide. When the numbers stack like that, you go. We trolled 602 Tomic plugs down at 220 ft on the downriggers through the main channel between Vancouver Island and Quadra Island. Water was warm at 18.2°C and the fish were up and feeding. Steady action all evening — mostly clean 12-16 lb feeders, plenty of them. The fish of the day was Alexander's: a chrome, heavy Chinook that measured 91cm, right around 24 lbs. Over the summer slot limit, so we got the photo and released her strong to keep the run healthy. A great fish for a first-timer. The Conquest keeps you comfortable — heated cabin, private washroom, Starlink WiFi, room for four. As Kristy put it: "We will be calling you when we come back."

juillet 26, 2026
Some mornings just come together. Sunday brought Tyrone over from Calgary to celebrate his and his wife's birthday, and Captain Trevor put him on the fish aboard the 17' Boston Whaler Montauk. His words after: "Biggest fish they ever caught." Conditions were fair for late July. Overcast skies, 17°C, and 10 km visibility. Wind sat ESE at 15 km/h, gusting a little, but Discovery Passage gave us the shelter we needed. The marine forecast called for southeast 5 to 15 knots and seas a metre or less, and out there it was light chop. Easy water for a first-timer to find his footing. We trolled hoochies behind flashers at 75 feet on the downriggers, working the run toward the Seymour Narrows slack at 9:51 AM. As the current eased, the bite firmed up. The fish came chrome bright and healthy, most in that solid 12 to 16 lb range, with the best one going 16 lbs. Water temp read a warm 18.3°C, and the fish were active and feeding. A humpback whale rubbed the rock wall in the bay while the rods bent. That's Campbell River in summer. The Montauk is nimble and perfect for an intimate one or two person trip. Captain Trevor is a laid-back local who's great with beginners, so if it's your first time out, you're in good hands. Three departures daily at 6am, 11am, and 4pm.

Another solid day in the Tyee waters. On today's 4-hour introductory trip, Captain Bruce ran the 17-foot Boston Whaler Montauk out to Cape Mudge, the southern tip of Quadra Island, and put Samson on a chrome bright Chinook. Conditions were forgiving summer grey. Air temp held at 16°C with a light rain that never bothered the bite. Wind was near flat early, just a whisper from the east, and the marine forecast kept seas at 1 metre or less through Discovery Passage. Comfortable, easy water for a single angler. We trolled Tomic plugs at 80 to 120 feet, following the bait through the Cape Mudge tide lines. Water temp was a warm 17.4°C, which had the fish up and feeding. The timing helped too. The afternoon slack window lined up with the major solunar feeding period under a waxing crescent moon, and the solunar rating for the day read Good. Samson, a returning guest from Vancouver, came tight on a clean summer feeder in the 12 to 14 pound range, exactly the kind of chrome fish these waters are known for. Landed inside the slot and into the box. The Montauk is a nimble, classic open boat, perfect for one or two anglers who want to work specific spots with a veteran guide.

There is no better welcome to Vancouver Island than a hot summer bite, and that is exactly what Paul and Breanne got on their first day on the water. Conditions were about as good as summer fishing gets. Air temp of 18°C under broken clouds, light easterly wind at 7 knots, and seas of one metre or less through Discovery Passage. Morning fog patches burned off early and left us with 10 km of clean visibility. The 27' Boston Whaler Conquest ran smooth and comfortable all morning. The Chinook were on the chew. We trolled hoochies and Tomic plugs on the downriggers between 80 and 130 feet, with the warm 17.2°C water keeping fish shallower than usual. The best window lined up with the slack before flood at 9:10 AM, when the tide change pushed bait into the channel and the rods started firing. The solunar forecast rated Good and the major feeding period fell right on that slack. By the end of the morning the boat had touched twenty-one fish, keeping our limit and releasing the rest. The headline catch was a chrome bright 16 lb Chinook that gave Paul a fight he will not forget. A Coho joined the box too. Most fish ran the honest 12 to 16 lb range typical for July. A family trip from Ottawa, a first-timer on the rod, and a trophy-class Chinook to show for it. That is a Campbell River memory.

What a morning. Captain Jason took a boys trip out on the 27' Boston Whaler Conquest for a 5-hour half-day salmon charter, and Seymour Narrows lit up. Conditions were made for it. A comfortable 14°C, few clouds, and a light WNW breeze at 11 km/h with 10 km of clean visibility. Seas ran 1 metre or less — easy, workable water. Summer means long days here, and with the sun up at 5:18 AM we had all the light we needed. The fishing spoke for itself: nineteen fish to the boat, a mix of Chinook and Coho, with 4 kept and 15 released. The headline was a chrome-bright 16 lb Chinook — silver, fat, and fresh off the bait. Most Chinook ran the solid 12-16 lb range typical this season, with the water sitting at a warm 17.6°C and fish holding shallow. We trolled hoochies behind flashers on downriggers at 50 feet, working the window around the 9:40 AM slack tide when the current turned the bite on. Patrick's crew got the full Discovery Passage experience — the pull of the current, the scream of the drag, and a lot of thumbs up. We released a good number to keep the run strong, and taught the young anglers why that matters. The Boston Whaler Conquest keeps everyone comfortable with a heated cabin, private washroom, and Starlink WiFi — perfect for families and groups up to 4.

A bluebird summer morning on the water. Captain Bruce ran the 6 AM introductory trip aboard the 17' Boston Whaler Montauk with Maxime and Eliott, first-timers up from Montreal. Conditions were about as good as July gives us. Air temp climbed to 21°C under scattered clouds and clear blue sky, with a light east wind at just 5 knots. Seas ran a metre or less — light chop, nothing more. Visibility stretched past 10 km, mountains sharp across the strait. Easy, comfortable water for two guys learning the ropes. We fished the green can in Discovery Passage, trolling hoochies behind flashers with UV cuttlefish down 80 to 120 feet. Water was warm at 17.9°C, so the fish were active. We picked away at feeder Chinook in the 12-16 lb class with Coho mixed through, timing the morning around the 9:40 AM Seymour Narrows slack when the bite settled in. One bright hatchery fish in the box, seventeen released — steady action all morning. The last quarter moon had the solunar rating sitting good, and the fish cooperated. For two first-timers, it was the full Campbell River experience: chrome fish, wide grins, and hands that smelled of the sea.

What a way to spend a birthday. Ron and Donna joined us aboard the Boston Whaler Conquest for a half-day morning charter, their first time on the water with us, and the salmon were in a generous mood. Conditions were postcard-perfect. Clear sky, 22°C, and a feather-light easterly breeze under 9 km/h. The Passage lay flat calm — seas one metre or less — with the Coast Mountains sharp on the horizon and visibility out to 10 km. You could not ask for a better first day on the salt. We worked the red and green cans on the early flood, trolling hoochies behind flashers with downriggers set deep at 220 feet. Water temp sat at a warm 16.8°C and the fish were active. Slack before flood at 6:11 AM lined up with the major solunar feeding window, and the rods started firing — lots of doubleheaders, two fish on at once, hands full and grins wide. By the end of the morning: 4 kept, 15 released. A healthy mix of Chinook and Coho, most Chinook in the 12-16 lb range, topped by a chrome-bright 16-pounder fresh from the salt. The bigger fish went back to keep the run strong — conservation matters to us, and Ron and Donna got the full experience of feeling that power on the line.

Fifteen Chinook salmon released on a Monday afternoon half-day charter out of Campbell River, with a chrome bright 24-pounder headlining the day. The summer bite in Discovery Passage is delivering. Conditions were near-perfect: 22°C under overcast skies, light WNW winds at 8 km/h, seas under 1 metre, and 10 km visibility. The kind of afternoon where the water barely moves and every rod bump gets your heart going. We fished the red can area on the flood tide following a dead-low 0.0-foot tide at 12:56 PM, and the incoming current pushed fish right through our zone. The new moon had the solunar forecast rated Excellent, and the fish responded. Captain Jason ran the 27-foot Boston Whaler Conquest with downriggers set at 220 feet — deeper than typical summer depths, but the warm 16°C surface water pushed the Chinook down. Army Truck hoochies behind flashers were the ticket. The bite was steady through the afternoon, with most fish in the solid 12 to 16-pound range and that standout 24-pounder that had the whole boat cheering. Today's guests were the Spragg family — Jamie, Kathryn, Owen, and Alison — visiting from Australia on their first fishing charter. Owen, the youngest of the crew, landed the biggest fish of the day and declared it the best day of his life. The Boston Whaler Conquest's spacious deck, heated cabin, and private washroom made it a comfortable family outing, and Starlink WiFi meant the photos were heading back to Australia before the fish were even released. All 15 Chinook were released in excellent condition. Conservation is part of the story here, and watching those chrome bright fish swim back into Discovery Passage is its own reward.

Captain Bruce had a strong morning out of Campbell River on June 6th, working the historic Cape Mudge grounds off the southern tip of Quadra Island aboard the 17' Boston Whaler Montauk. Conditions were textbook early summer — 14°C air temperature, northwest winds at a gentle 6 km/h, overcast skies with no rain, and seas at 1 metre or less across Discovery Passage. The grey light that marine anglers know and love. Visibility held at 10 km throughout. The morning's low tide at 6:30 AM transitioned into the day's tidal rhythm, with the key slack before ebb arriving at 10:01 AM at Seymour Narrows. Captain Bruce positioned at Cape Mudge to intercept the tide change — and the fish responded. Six Chinook salmon were hooked, fought hard, and released in excellent condition. The Army truck hoochie pattern behind flashers did the work in the 80-150 foot depth range where summer feeders are holding. The hatchery coho — a chrome-bright, healthy fish confirmed on photo — was retained for the table. Tonight's destination: the Rip Tide Pub. Today's guests were first-timers from San Diego experiencing Discovery Passage for the very first time. Two people, one nimble Boston Whaler Montauk, and a morning that delivered everything Campbell River fishing promises. The Montauk's open-boat design is ideal for two-person trips — every cast feels personal, every fish is right in front of you. Water temperature measured 15.4°C — warm and active. The solunar forecast for the day rated Good, with a minor feeding window at moonrise running 10:29 to 11:29 AM overlapping the post-slack bite. Summer Chinook are running 12-16 lbs with a real shot at a 30+ lb trophy. Coho are showing up alongside them at Cape Mudge. This is the season.

Some days on the water remind you exactly why you made the trip. Thursday morning on Discovery Passage was one of those days. Captain Bruce headed out of Coast Marina on the 17' Boston Whaler Montauk under overcast skies with the air sitting at 12°C and a light southwest wind barely ruffling the surface. Seas were 1 metre or less — comfortable, calm, and perfect for working the main channel between Vancouver Island and Quadra Island. Trolling spoons through the warm 15.2°C water, the morning produced 6 Chinook released and 1 hatchery Coho kept for the barbecue. The Coho went home chrome bright and in great shape. The released Chinook went back healthy — conservation-minded fishing at its best. The approach of the 8:57 AM slack at Seymour Narrows helped concentrate the morning bite, with the minor solunar feeding window between 9 and 10 AM adding a productive edge to the action. Today's guest was Christine, visiting from Calgary on her very first saltwater charter. Seven fish to the boat on a 4-hour introductory trip — that's a first-timer experience worth talking about back home. The look on Christine's face when that Coho came to the net? That's the whole story. The Boston Whaler Montauk is purpose-built for exactly this kind of fishing — nimble enough to target specific spots in Discovery Passage, stable enough to fish comfortably in the morning chop. Two-person trips on this vessel are intimate and focused, with Captain Bruce's veteran local knowledge guiding every move. June is shaping up beautifully.

Captain Trevor put the Boston Whaler Montauk right where it needed to be today — Discovery Passage, main channel, working the current seams between Vancouver Island and Quadra Island. Conditions were ideal for a June day on the water. Air temperature held at 13°C under overcast skies with barely a breath of wind — just 4 km/h out of the west-northwest. Seas stayed at a metre or less, making for a comfortable ride in the nimble 17-foot Montauk. Visibility was wide open at 10 km with no fog to contend with. The bite came as the tide drained toward a 2.7-foot low at 2:11 PM, a big swing from the morning high that flushed bait through the passage. Two chrome bright salmon came to the boat, both in outstanding condition — silver sides, clean fins, the kind of fish that make your arms tired and your face hurt from grinning. The bigger of the two had real weight to it, consistent with the 12-to-16-pound fish we've been seeing this early summer season, with always a chance at a trophy 30-pounder moving through. Water temperature hit 15°C, which has the fish active and holding in the 80-to-120-foot range — perfect for trolling. The Montauk's nimble design lets Captain Trevor work specific spots and current edges that bigger boats can't access, and today that precision paid off. The 4-hour trips are running three departures daily at 6 AM, 11 AM, and 4 PM out of Coast Marina A Dock, with free parking at Tyee Plaza.

Six Chinook salmon hooked and released in four hours. That was the scorecard today as Captain Bruce worked the historic Tyee waters off Cape Mudge aboard the 17-foot Boston Whaler Montauk. Conditions were ideal for a midday session. Air temperature held at a pleasant 20°C under overcast skies with light WNW winds at 7 km/h. Seas were calm at 1 metre or less with excellent visibility. The marine forecast had northwest winds building later in the evening, but our 11 AM to 3 PM window was smooth and comfortable — perfect conditions for a first-time angler. The bite turned on right as the tide bottomed out. A 2.4-foot low at 1:37 PM coincided with slack water at Seymour Narrows at 1:43 PM, creating a textbook feeding window that the Chinook couldn't resist. Trolling hoochies behind flashers in the 80-120 foot range, Captain Bruce put the nimble Montauk on productive water along the southern tip of Quadra Island where warm 15.1°C water had fish holding shallower than usual. The best fish of the day was a chrome bright 15-pounder — a thick, healthy summer Chinook that put on a show before being released in perfect condition. All six fish were carefully released, keeping the run strong for the season ahead. Today's guest Joerg traveled all the way from Germany as a graduation present to himself, and Campbell River delivered in spectacular fashion. His first-ever salmon fishing trip turned into an afternoon he won't soon forget — six hookups, six fights, and a 15-pound best fish on his introductory trip. No experience needed, and the ocean provided a world-class welcome. The Boston Whaler Montauk is purpose-built for these intimate 2-person trips. Nimble enough to target specific current seams and structure, with Captain Bruce's decades of local knowledge guiding every move.

Eight Chinook salmon came to the boat today on a 4-hour introductory trip through Discovery Passage, and every one of them went back to swim another day. The best fish pushed 9 pounds — chrome bright and full of fight. Captain Bruce took first-time guests Brendan and Nami out aboard the 17-foot Boston Whaler Montauk, departing Coast Marina at 11:00 AM. Conditions were about as good as it gets for early June: 29°C air temperature, light east wind at 7 knots, seas under one metre, and visibility stretching past 10 kilometres. Blue sky, snow-capped mountains ringing the passage, and calm water from rail to rail. The technique was straightforward — trolling hoochies behind flashers through the main channel of Discovery Passage. Water temperature came in at 15.1°C, warm enough to push the Chinook into shallower feeding lanes. The key window was the slack before flood at 1:06 PM, which lined up with a major solunar feeding period under a full moon. That combination turned the bite on, and the fish cooperated. Brendan and Nami made the drive down from Grand Prairie for their first ocean salmon fishing experience, and they picked the right day. The Montauk is nimble and perfect for a party of two — Captain Bruce can work specific spots and current seams that bigger boats can't access. Every fish was a first for these two, and the smiles told the whole story. Summer Chinook fishing in Campbell River is off to a strong start.

Every one of those fish went back into the water, just the way they'd planned it. Conditions were classic spring Campbell River: 17°C air temperature, northwest wind at 10 knots with afternoon gusts to 32 km/h, broken clouds, and 10 km visibility. Sea state was under 1 metre - comfortable fishing throughout on the 27' Boston Whaler Conquest. The heated cabin gave the group a warm base when the gusts kicked up, and the premium electronics kept us dialed into the productive water. Water temperature was running at 15.1°C - warm spring conditions that had the Chinook active and feeding. We ran plugs and hoochies on downriggers at 180 feet and worked the flood tide building toward high water at 5:27 PM. The critical window came right around the slack before ebb at 5:38 PM, when the current transition concentrated baitfish and the bite sharpened. Best fish of the day went 14 lbs - a quality spring Chinook on a catch-and-release mission. Eleven fish to the boat in five hours is the kind of session that turns a first-time angler into a lifelong one. This group came to Discovery Passage for the experience of salmon fishing on Vancouver Island, and Campbell River delivered exactly that. Spring Chinook are running well in Discovery Passage right now, with fish in the 12-20 lb range and plenty of willing biters in the 150-200 foot zone. If you've been thinking about booking a half-day or full-day charter this spring, the bite is on. The Boston Whaler Conquest holds up to 4 guests in comfort, departs from Coast Marina A Dock, and offers free parking at Tyee Plaza. Spots are filling fast for June.

What a day on the water. Terry, Montana, and Jason drove over from Kelowna for their first fishing trip in Campbell River with Fishing Storie Charters — and Discovery Passage delivered in a big way. Twelve Chinook hooked and released over the course of a full-day charter aboard our 27' Boston Whaler Conquest. Conditions were near perfect for late May. Air temperature hit 24°C under mostly clear skies with a light west-northwest breeze at 8 knots. Seas were calm at under 1 metre with excellent visibility across the passage. We had a comfortable, fishable day from start to finish. The bite turned on as we approached the slack before flood at 9:21 AM in Seymour Narrows. Fish were holding deep — we ran Tomic plugs on downriggers at 220 feet and the Chinook were there waiting. Water temperature was 15.1°C, and the fish were active and aggressive. The best Chinook of the day went 14 pounds, chrome bright and full of fight on the long pull from depth. Most fish ranged from 12 to 15 pounds — healthy spring Chinook in excellent condition. Every fish was released carefully, swimming strong back into the current. The crew from Kelowna had never experienced anything like it — twelve hookups on their very first Campbell River trip. The heated cabin on the Conquest kept everyone comfortable during the early morning run out, and our Starlink WiFi meant photos were heading home to family before we even got back to the dock. Spring Chinook fishing is firing right now in Discovery Passage. Full-day charters are available for groups up to four guests, departing from Coast Marina with free parking at Tyee Plaza.

Sunday, May 24, 2026 — Captain Bruce took the 17' Boston Whaler Montauk out of Coast Marina A Dock for the midday 4-hour trip, and Cape Mudge delivered a solid spring session. Five Chinook salmon were hooked and released, with the best fish of the day coming in at 7 lbs — a healthy feeder Chinook in chrome-bright condition right off the historic Tyee grounds at the southern tip of Quadra Island. Conditions on the water were active but fishable. Air temperature was a pleasant 17°C with an ESE wind running 22 km/h and gusting to 39 km/h — enough to put a chop on the water but well within the Montauk's range. The Environment Canada marine forecast called for 1 metre seas or less, and that held true through our time on the grounds. Overcast skies meant excellent diffused light — ideal for trolling and comfortable for guests. The tide timing worked in our favour. High water at 12:25 PM and a slack before ebb at 12:57 PM put us right in the zone as the current began its afternoon run through Discovery Passage. That ebb flow concentrates bait along the Cape Mudge rip, and Captain Bruce ran Tomic plugs through the zone at 60 to 100 feet in 14.7°C water. The solunar minor feeding period ran right through the first hour — the fish were active and the plugs did their job. Today's guests were on their first fishing trip with us — a 4-hour intro experience — and came away with five bites and a new appreciation for what Discovery Passage can produce in spring. The Montauk is the perfect platform for this kind of targeted fishing: nimble enough to work the specific rips and current seams at Cape Mudge, with free parking at Tyee Plaza and a clean, classic open boat experience. Spring Chinook are in the water and feeding. The Cape Mudge grounds are producing. If you've been thinking about booking a trip to Campbell River, May and June are excellent windows before the summer crowds arrive. Spots available for our 6 AM, 11 AM, and 4 PM departures.

Captain Bruce and the Boston Whaler Montauk proved again why Campbell River earns its reputation as the Salmon Capital of the World — even in the quiet months. Conditions were honest March fishing. Four degrees, light rain, an east wind barely stirring the surface. Seas stayed under a metre and the Montauk slipped through the chop without complaint. Visibility was low with overcast skies and rain, but Captain Bruce knows these waters by feel as much as by sight. The target was winter Chinook in Seymour Narrows, timing the approach around the 9:20 AM slack before flood. When the current in the Narrows drops from 7.5 knots to nothing, the bait suspends and the Chinook move in to feed. That is exactly what happened. Two chrome bright fish came to the boat, both in the 12 to 15 pound range — healthy, silver, and full of fight. Downriggers were set deep, 180 to 240 feet, where the cold water holds the feeders this time of year. Water temperature was 7.5°C. The solunar forecast rated the day as Good, with a major feeding period from 6:11 to 8:11 AM aligning nicely with the building tide change. The last quarter moon at 35 percent illumination kept conditions favorable. This was a 4-hour introductory trip — proof that you do not need a full day to get into fish when the captain knows where to be and when to be there. The Montauk is nimble, quick to the grounds, and perfect for an intimate fishing experience with one or two anglers. Spring Chinook fishing is underway in Campbell River. Spots are filling for March and April. Book your trip at **hidden content** and let Captain Bruce put you on the fish.
