Member since May 2017 Richmond, Canada
Background
I have been avidly fishing local waters around Vancouver and Vancouver Island since I was a little boy. I still feel like that little boy when I am out on the water chasing Salmon. I just love sharing, teaching, and guiding anglers of all experience levels. I feel lucky to get the opportunity to share the beauty of our local area as well as the bounty of our Salmon and Crab fishing with guests from all around the globe. I enjoy watching the big smiles of kids of all ages hook into and fight a wild Pacific Salmon. I am an airline pilot by profession but my passion is fishing and in particular Salmon fishing on the ocean. You are in great hands with me or one of my professional guides. Pursuit Sport Fishing has been in operation since 2012.
Techniques
We mainly troll with downriggers with artificial and frozen bait. We will also cast light tackle to schooling salmon seasonally as the runs permit.

Currently, the chinook fishing is exceptional. Although it is catch and release only we are having amazing catches of chinook salmon. Crab fishing has been decent. This is a great opportunity to create memories. Take some great photos and have a wonderful day perhaps doing something youโ€™ve never done before.

Weโ€™ve been having some very good chinook fishing the last month here in local waters around Vancouver. Trolling a variety of artificial spoons and squid patterns have been producing on the Tide changes. Crab fishing has been average and prawn fishing has been good.

Nov 9, 2019 Richmond
We are off to a good start in November. Typically it is a very slow month for chinook fishing but we are already seeing good numbers of feeders in the area. This is a great sign for the winter months ahead. We have started to drop crab traps again which is a great bonus catch to a charter. Book your winter chinook fishing charter now.

Fishing is picking up
Fishing is picking up
Aug 9, 2017 Richmond
Our local half day trips have been a wee bit slow lately but this will pick up over the next few weeks. Our full day charters have been alot better as we are able to get over to fish more productive areas and fish 2 tide changes. Some big Chinook salmon are arriving daily and the huge run of pink salmon should be here in a week or so and last through mid September. Book now as this is prime time in Vancouver.
