Coho Fishing in Victoria BC

As much as we love the summer fall brings with it Coho Fishing in Victoria. These fun lively salmon travel in schools so when we are on them the catch is usually good. Coho Fishing in Victoria is usually strong from mid September through early October.

It is a great time to get friends and family together to experience some of the best fishing the west coast has to offer. Typically Coho salmon range from 6 – 15 pounds and they are a great fighting fish. We will troll for them in 30 -150 feet of water using a variety of baits and lures. The anglers shown here were in Victoria as part of a conference. They found some time to pull a group together and we arranged for 3 boats to take the group out.  Everyone had a great day and it’s a nice a group activity to do with colleagues. We work with groups as small as 12 or as large as 80.  Large groups take some organization so early booking is key!

For friends and families the booking window is much closer, unlike the summer months when we are booked weeks ahead of time the fall allows for a bit more flexibility. Having said that it is best give us a call early so you have the best choice of dates.

As you will see from our website our guides are expert fisherman that will do their best to get you into fish.

This might be the most technical post yet but fishing guides in Victoria play a delicate line between touch and knowledge. Fishing guides in Victoria are constantly changing their approach in order to consistently catch this amazing fish. We are apt to put down hoochies, lime green flashers, herring and on occasion anchovies! We use downriggers to get the lines straight down 50 to 150 ft and flashers to attract to the salmon to the bait.  More importantly is the gear our fishing guides in Victoria use to land these fish for our guests. We use Islander reels that are second to none in these waters and offer the angler a real challenge but also the opportunity to really feel the fish. We pair those with long limber fishing rods to maximize the sport fishing experience.   This group booked a full day and managed to land 2 nice 20 pounders. Our clients are given the opportunity to book 5 hour trips or full day trips which are 8 hours. If you have the time a full day will give you the most opportunity for success. We can cover more ground, use the full compliment of gear and you get a truly West Coast experience. All our guides have been fishing these waters for more than 10 years, some even longer. When it comes to choosing your fishing guide in Victoria make sure you secure someone who has both experience and knowledge partnered with all the latest equipment.

We caught these Springs while salmon fishing off of Victoria a few weeks ago.  We would have posted it earlier but we have been super busy, which is great! Initially this trip was for the husband and the wife was keen to be there but not terribly interested in reeling in a fish.  Justin took that as a challenge and slowly started to talk about how to play a fish while salmon fishing and what to expect when the bite comes on. It wasn’t long before the first of these fish hit and Justin instinctively gave the first fish to the wife!  She was amazing, listened carefully to Justin’s instructions: keep the rod tip up, let the fish run – be patient.  After a great battle, the angler won and the fish was in the net.  The next fish struck and the husband played it like a pro.  It’s not everyday you get a combination of great fishing and calm seas but this picture captured the glory of moment perfectly. We are salmon fishing from Oak Bay to Sooke. We have several great spots just outside the harbor mouth so travel time is almost always under 30 minutes, more typically it would be 15 to 20 minutes to get to the spot the guide thinks you’ll have the most luck on the given day. The waters we fish are protected from large ocean swell because of our proximity to the Olympic Peninsula – which by the way add a dramatic backdrop when you are salmon fishing off Victoria, BC.

Three generations

Truly a family friendly salmon fishing outfit, we love taking young people fishing and sharing our passion for this remarkable fish. Adam caught his first salmon in Oak Bay in 1978 on Thanksgiving Day with his father. They hopped in their lime green Glastron with a 35 horse Merc and headed for the flats. Using a polar bear buzz bomb they jigged his first salmon and a passion was born.

This past Sunday we were honoured to guide 3 generations from Quebec. Not all the anglers we take fishing are families, we caterer to couples, special occasions, friends, conference groups and tours but when three generations get together for a family friendly salmon fishing trip we are a great choice.

Temple guided this group into fish about 5 miles off the harbour mouth. Obviously as fishing guides we are much more technically savvy now than we were in 70’s but the beauty of deep sea fishing remains the same. You just don’t know how things are going to go. We use top of the line gear, we have radar, sonar, GPS and our guides are out there everyday. If there are fish to be caught we will find them.

Some of our enquiries about fishing ask about how we approach the family friendly salmon fishing experience we are proud to offer. The answer is simple your success is our success. If we can show your family what it is like to troll for fish, reel in fish, make the decision to keep the fish (or not) and then present it to your family for dinner – we are stoked. The cooking is up to you! Give us a call at 250-370-2326 or 250-727-5575 or send us an email.
