Winter Chinook Fishing Report – The Bite Is On!
The winter Chinook are on the prowl in Campbell River, the Salmon Capital of the World! On a recent trip, Captain Dan delivered an epic day on the water, locking into a hot bite at Shelter Point during the ebb tide. Fishing at 200 feet in 230 feet of water, the custom Purple Demon stuffed hootchie was unstoppable, triggering strike after strike.
Six powerful Chinook hit the deck, their fierce runs and tail-thrashing fights a true test of skill. Two prime keepers – gleaming silver slabs – came home for fresh, melt-in-your-mouth meals, while the others were released after unforgettable battles.
The scene was unbeatable: golden sunshine, calm seas, and rods bending left and right. This is winter fishing at its finest – the kind of day anglers dream about!
But time is ticking – the season is short, and these winter Chinook won’t wait. Whether you're chasing your first salmon or adding another thrilling story to your collection, this is your chance.
Don’t miss the action! Secure your spot with Captain Dan now and experience the adrenaline, beauty, and bounty of Campbell River's world-class waters. Your next fishing story starts here!
