Fishing Techniques for Salmon Fishing
Fishing Techniques Secret Cove
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.
Merry Island Lighthouse Welcome Passage 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.
