Prince Rupert, British Columbia - Saltwater Fishing Report
Prince Rupert Area
Fishing Halibut yesterday with 5 guys from Vancouver proved to bee very good. The seas were a little choppy but we did manage to pull in 6 nice Halibut ranging from 25 to 50 lbs. No one on the Orca Mist had ever caught a Halibut before so it was great to see so many large Halibut brought to the side of the boat. After the day was done we pulled our Dungeness Crab traps and cooked up 20 nice keepers. Join me for some early season Halibut and Ling Cod fishing aboard the 30ft Orca Mist.

Bio: 21 years guiding experience on the west coast. We specialize in catching large and agressive Salmon and Halibut. Welcome to the Deep Spring Charters home page. My company specializes in catching large and aggressive Salmon and Halibut. These are not our only targets though. I love seeking out Lingcod, Snapper and Rockfish where they live. These fish are not safe when I am on the water. It is not uncommon to have all my fish coolers filled to the top by the end of the day. I call this food gathering.
