? TD Coastal Adventures โ€“ Fishing Report ? The Hump โ€“ Lower Section, Campbell River BC ?๏ธ July 15, 2025 ? Target Species: Chinook Salmon ? Lure: Custom No Bananas Spoon ? Depth: 195 ft ? Zone: The Fish Highway โธป Report: The Fish Highway was firing today off the lower section of The Hump, and two seasoned guests โ€” Oleg and Igor from Toronto โ€” made it count in true TD Coastal fashion. Both Chinook strikes came on a custom โ€œNo Bananasโ€ spoon running deep at 195 ft, dialed in tight just above the shelf. These were classic Campbell River fish โ€” aggressive, thick-bodied, and built for battle. Igor was up first, locking into a deep-running slab that gave him a full 20-minute slugfest before surfacing. After an epic fight, he chose to release the Chinook with full respect โ€” a true West Coast moment. Oleg followed with a war of his own. Four hard runs and deep dives later, he brought his fish to the boat clean, calm, and earned. Both strikes hit within the same hour โ€” clear sign that the Chinook are staging deep and tight on the bait lanes. The key takeaway today? ? Fish deep. Troll slow. Stay on the seam. And if youโ€™ve got a No Bananas spoon โ€” use it. If not, book with Captain Dan and Iโ€™ll bring one. โธป Current Notes: โ€ข Bait balls showing tight to bottom in 180โ€“210 ft โ€ข Best bite time: 7:30โ€“9:15 AM โ€ข Tide swing: Moderate flood tide โ€ข Water clarity: Good โ€ข Wildlife seen: Eagles, porpoises, and one curious seal โธป Captainโ€™s Note: โ€œThis wasnโ€™t just a good day โ€” it was a day the sea remembers. Oleg and Igor brought patience, power, and respect. Thatโ€™s what Chinook fishing on the coast is all about.โ€ โ€” ? Now Booking: Chinook runs continue strong through late July. ? Sunset Big Fish, Morning Missions, and Salmon & Seals charters available. ? **hidden content** |

Fishing in May is a bit slower than July or August but it is not crowded. The pace of life is slower and the crowds are smaller which is what we wanted. We did not expect to Catch a large amount of fish but wanted the experience of fishing for salmon and being on the spring waters. Chris was a great guide and nice person to meet and fish with in the future. Had a good day and look forward to many meals from our salmon in the summer months ahead!

Take something for sea sickness. No one want to go in cause someone gets sick. Especially when you are 20 miles out
