Double Header on Discovery Passage — Chr

Captain Trevor put the Boston Whaler Montauk right where it needed to be today — Discovery Passage, main channel, working the current seams between Vancouver Island and Quadra Island. Conditions were ideal for a June day on the water. Air temperature held at 13°C under overcast skies with barely a breath of wind — just 4 km/h out of the west-northwest. Seas stayed at a metre or less, making for a comfortable ride in the nimble 17-foot Montauk. Visibility was wide open at 10 km with no fog to contend with. The bite came as the tide drained toward a 2.7-foot low at 2:11 PM, a big swing from the morning high that flushed bait through the passage. Two chrome bright salmon came to the boat, both in outstanding condition — silver sides, clean fins, the kind of fish that make your arms tired and your face hurt from grinning. The bigger of the two had real weight to it, consistent with the 12-to-16-pound fish we've been seeing this early summer season, with always a chance at a trophy 30-pounder moving through. Water temperature hit 15°C, which has the fish active and holding in the 80-to-120-foot range — perfect for trolling. The Montauk's nimble design lets Captain Trevor work specific spots and current edges that bigger boats can't access, and today that precision paid off. The 4-hour trips are running three departures daily at 6 AM, 11 AM, and 4 PM out of Coast Marina A Dock, with free parking at Tyee Plaza. The Montauk is perfect for intimate 2-person trips, and Captain Trevor is great with first-timers and experienced anglers alike. June is heating up on Discovery Passage.
