Search:		Fishing BC Online Charters Fishing Report for April 11th 2008 As daylight stretches into early evening and the spring colors start to show, there is great early season angling to be had here on Vancouver Island. It is this time of year that some find most rewarding. With most of our salmon now out in the open north Pacific, our resident stocks can provide anglers with some great action and some of the best tasting seafood of the year. Prawns, oysters and winter springs make for a great trio on the dinner table. The pursuit of them can be a rewarding and frustrating, but always enjoyable. With good number of winter Chinooks in area 14, pick any have decent day and get out and try your luck. We have not had a day this spring without landing at least two nice sized winterer springs. Lambert Channel has always been a favourite, not just because of the fishing but the nature of the area provides much better conditions should wind become an issue. The one spot not to be over-looked is the deep hole out in front of the Hornby Ferry dock. Trolling deep with silver spoons should result in a hook up, just stay on the bottom and use nice long leaders (6 ft ) behind a small flasher of try a spoon on its own. If no luck comes your way there troll straight down the middle of the channel heading towards Norris Rocks with one line at 150 ft and the other at 90-100 ft using the same set ups. These two tracks should result in you putting a fish or two in the bucket. Most fish we have encountered this year have been in the 10-12 lb range with plenty hitting the scales at close to 20 lbs. Oysters are by far the best tasting this time of the year. Take the time to stop by the Deep Bay spit to add to the days quarry. There are oysters a plenty there and in all sizes. This should take no more than five minutes or so to collect your limit. If time is on your side drop a crab trap just off the north end of the spit, there are good numbers of both Red Rock and Dungeness crabs in the area again this year. again this should take just an hour or so to add to the days plentiful harvest.
