Sewell's marina Winter Report

Winter sniffles getting you down? Nothing lifts spirits like hooking into a winter spring salmon. Usually these aggressive fighters are caught on the Westside of Bowen Island, near Hutt Island and in Tunstall Bay.  Burrard Inlet and the Bell Bouy can be an option as well. Larger fish (10-20lbs) are generally found in the previously mentioned locations. Fish the bottom in 120'-200' of water.

 

Prawning has also been excellent as I write this and will continue into the spring. Pacific Spot Prawns are actually the largest shrimp species in the world and we can catch these delicious guys right in our backyard. Stagger your traps in 180-330 feet of water and you’ll be sautéing with garlic butter before you know it!

 

The Hole in the Wall is always a standby for Horseshoe Bay fisher people. Especiall y at this time of year.
