? TD Coastal Adventures – Fishing Report ? The Hump – Lower Section, Campbell River BC ?️ July 15, 2025 ? Target Species: Chinook Salmon ? Lure: Custom No Bananas Spoon ? Depth: 195 ft ? Zone: The Fish Highway ⸻ Report: The Fish Highway was firing today off the lower section of The Hump, and two seasoned guests — Oleg and Igor from Toronto — made it count in true TD Coastal fashion. Both Chinook strikes came on a custom “No Bananas” spoon running deep at 195 ft, dialed in tight just above the shelf. These were classic Campbell River fish — 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 — 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 — 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 you’ve got a No Bananas spoon — use it. If not, book with Captain Dan and I’ll bring one. ⸻ Current Notes: • Bait balls showing tight to bottom in 180–210 ft • Best bite time: 7:30–9:15 AM • Tide swing: Moderate flood tide • Water clarity: Good • Wildlife seen: Eagles, porpoises, and one curious seal ⸻ Captain’s Note: “This wasn’t just a good day — it was a day the sea remembers. Oleg and Igor brought patience, power, and respect. That’s what Chinook fishing on the coast is all about.” — ? Now Booking: Chinook runs continue strong through late July. ? Sunset Big Fish, Morning Missions, and Salmon & Seals charters available. ? **hidden content** |
