Default Personal best White sturgeon

Seeing it's a pink salmon year I made sure well in advance I had some days booked in early September, hoping the bite was going to be good.

2 days 30 fish landed, we only had 5 fish under 7 feet

Went out with Braeden with Streamline guiding, he called it a fish of a lifetime, I called it fish of the month. See you again in October. So close to my 10 footer I could almost taste it

This has been my 5th consecutive year going out and now my 7th trip, the last few have been with Braeden and as long as he is guiding I will continue to peruse my 10 footer with him

Enjoy

Beauty fish all around! I went out for the first time 7 years ago, can't wait to do it again! The boat next to us caught a 11+, we got to see the whole thing, upset we didn't hook into it! Looking forward to the next trip, hopefully sooner than later!

The salmon seem to have just came in the last few weeks. I follow almost all the guide companies on Facebook, lots of big fish being posted. Remember make your guide move if your not catching all our big fish were within minutes of dropping anchor. Our best time was 8-10 with the slacker tide, I have heard that from a few that have fished it now.

Have fun and good luck

I'm trying to figure out a trip for October - not sure what to fish for or where to go - but I will have some time in October. We should really get a couple groups out and go do some fall fishing. BC sounds about right that time of year.
