2016 Salmon Fishing Season

2016 Salmon Fishing SeasonThe 2016 Salmon Fishing Season has started with a bang, we’ve been busy actively guiding since mid-February. Our area produces consistent chinook salmon fishing through the winter season due to the annual herring migration. We are seeing regular fishing patterns evolve as spring and summer approach. Like clockwork the sandlance have showed up in their usual haunts as of mid April. In our opinion they are the favourite bait fish for just about every species of fish we have here on the west coast – especially salmon. The fish are getting bigger by the week.

We are pleased to welcome back all our staff from last year. Adam, who has fished these waters for over 25 years, Temple, who has been an outstanding member of our team for 6 years and Chase, who is back for his 2nd year, are all eager to get you out on the water. Whether it is a family outing, friends ticking things off their bucket list or diehard anglers itching to get into some fish, we are here to host you and show you a fantastic time on the waters off of beautiful Victoria BC. We are prepared to make the 2016 Salmon Fishing Season our best yet.

We offer full and half day trips. Our half days are 5 hours and leave at approximately 7am and 1pm daily, full days are 8 hours departing at 7am. All trips are fully guided, all the bait tackle and gear are provided as well. We have several convenient pick up locations with our main departure dock being located just below Tourism Victoria’s Visitor Information Centre at 812 Wharf Street.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask, your 2016 salmon fishing season adventure awaits you!

More big Springs

Nice Spring Salmon off Victoria BC July 2015

Nice Spring Salmon off Victoria BC August 2015

This has been an incredible year for fishing, more big springs yesterday in Oak Bay. We have been super busy and the fishing has not disappointed our guests this year. Still targeting pinks and springs but we have been consistently finding nice fish everywhere!

We have been fishing with this client since the late 1990’s, it is always so good to see them and catch up on their lives and ours. There is something about spending 5 + hours together that really helps our guides create lasting friendships with our regular customers.

The last few weeks of August are upon us we expect the fishing to be consistent until the end of September.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask, your fishing adventure awaits you!

Salmon Fishing has been solid

Chinook and Pink SalmonSalmon Fishing has been solid the last few days! All of our guides are finding fishing from Oak Bay to near Sooke. The pinks are so fun to catch as they school up and if you find one you will likely find many. When our clients choose to go salmon fishing with us they are in for a great experience, one they will not soon forget! Lately the guides have been finding a combination of pink and Chinook salmon. As you may know there are 5 species of Salmon, Pinks are the smallest but they are tasty and Chinook, also called King Salmon, are the biggest. We have caught several Chinook in the 25 pound range, what a thrill!

Our guides will talk to you about the current conditions and give you their best suggestion of what to target. As both species favour different environments and eat different food, the manor in which you fish for them is also different. You will like choose between targeting the more prolific Pinks or the harder fighting Chinook.

You will also be asked if you want to retain the fish or catch and release. We encourage our clients to catch and release if they don’t intend to eat the catch so these amazing fish can live another day! However if you wish to catch and eat your fish we can suggest some great ways to prepare them. You can also choose to have your fish processed – canned or smoked – at a nearby fish store.

But first you have to catch them, what are you waiting for call us now to book your trip. 250-370-2326

Salmon Fishing Video

We recently took out three great guests who made this Salmon Fishing Video documenting their experience with us. July has been super solid in regards to salmon fishing but unfortunately our site was hacked this week and we lost most of the posts. We will recreate them over the coming days but for now check out this video. Salmon fishing is a really great way to relax, hang out on the ocean and enjoy one of the most beautiful parts of the world. It is awesome to think that within 5-20min of Victoria’s inner harbor you can have access to all five species of salmon. The five species are Chinook, Coho, Sockeye, Pink and Chum. Right now we are mostly catching Chinook and Pink Salmon – the biggest and smallest of the species. Pink are highly schooling fish so when you are on them it can be quite chaotic! Chinook (also called King and Spring salmon) are more solitary. Adam describes these fish as quality not quantity. Our guides will work with you to determine the best approach for your day on the water.

You can view the video and see for yourself how we operate!

Adam’s Fishing Charters has been introducing people to fish for over 25 years! Email us or give us a call at 250-370-2326 to reserve your day on the waters.
