Father-Son First Trip Puts Chinook to 16

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. The Conquest runs heated cabin, private washroom, and Starlink WiFi — comfortable for groups up to 4, departing Coast Marina A Dock with free parking at Tyee Plaza. September is Tyee season, and the fish are here. Spots are filling fast. Book your trip today at **hidden content**.
