Fishing Techniques for Salmon Fishing

Our salmon fishing techniques are quite different on the Sunshine Coast than most areas, we Mooch for the Salmon, this means we locate the bait fish with sounders and anchor the vessel over the bait fish and use live herring, the natural food for the Salmon. We use 10 ft light salmon rods with a 3 ounce weight, about 8ft of light leader and a single #10 treble hook in the nose of the herring. This offers a natural light tackle fishing method for the Salmon and is a fun way to fish for these powerful fish.
Ocean Conditions - Georgia Strait, Secret Cove

Our area offers relatively protected waters for sport fishing on Georgia Strait because Vancouver Island protects this area from the rough water, the numerous islands also protect us, where you are not subject to the high seas of the Pacific Ocean (no swells or fog)Most summer days the water is relatively calm with light westerly winds.

What to expect in Weather Conditions
Temperatures on the Sunshine Coast range from freezing in winter to highs of 30+C (90F) in summer. The annual rainfall is about 100cm (40 inches). The Sunshine Coast boasts 14 more days of sunshine per year than HAWAII. The Sunshine Coast has approximately 270 growing days per year. Areas such as Davis Bay and Wilson Creek support growth of tropical trees & shrubs such as palm, eucalyptus, apricot and fig.

Summer Month's ( June thru August )
Secret Cove enjoys warm, comfortable summers that are rarely scorching but can get up to 29 degrees Celsius (85° Fahrenheit), it seldom rains but a shower can happen. June to August daytime temperatures linger just above 20° Celsius (70° Fahrenheit). Evenings, especially close to the Ocean, and the mornings before the sun is up are a bit cooler so it's best to pack a light jacket and sweater.
Fall Month's ( Sept. thru November )
Autumn on the coast is very mild with summer-like weather often stretching into October, fall can be quite wonderful on the Sunshine Coast. By November, the air turns crisper in the mornings and the leaves have started to fall. Bring warm, waterproof clothing if you are visiting at this time of year.
Winter Month's ( Dec. thru February )
Our winters are mild and wet-it rarely snows in this part of Canada except, of course, at our local ski hills. The Sunshine Coast, they say, is so named because it's sunnier than Vancouver. From November to February, temperatures average from 0° to 5° Celsius (around 45° Fahrenheit). The Rain generally starts in November and lasts until March and it does occasionally snow during the winter. To stay cozy and dry, you'll need warm clothes, a raincoat and an umbrella. Waterproof footwear is always a good idea.
Spring Month's ( March thru May )
The fresh spring air blows in early to our seaside Cove. Spring generally means a mix of warm, sunny and rainy days.February or March start to see the early crocuses and daffodils popping up, quickly followed by an eruption of spring blossoms. Active locals suddenly emerge from hibernation. Temperatures average from 13° to 16° Celsius (around 55° to 60° Fahrenheit) Pack light clothing along with a few sweaters for good measure.

What to Bring on your Trip
Be sure to dress warmly and in layers, the mornings are cool even in the summer. White-soled running shoes or other non-marking footwear (soft-soled). Sunglasses and camera, with lots of film to record your catch of the day. On our fisherman special package lunches are not included, so bring a lunch and beverage. You can bring Beer if you wish. You will need a BC Saltwater fishing license with a Salmon Stamp, this can be purchased in advance at most BC fishing tackle outlets or you can purchase when you arrive. Don't forget a cooler to transport your catch, or we have styro coolers at the marina that work well even if you flying home.
