Attended the 2018 BC Sportsmen’s Show
Father & Son Tradition I attended the BC Fishermen's Show this past weekend with my oldest son Asher. It's becoming a bit of a tradition for us as it was our 3rd annual trip (actually 3 times in past 4 years, see past journal here). Even with the...
Vedder River Winter Steelhead Kickoff 2018!
Vedder River Winter Steelhead Kickoff 2018! This trip was special for me for a number of reasons. Two most prominently: 1) It was my first time out fishing in 3 months! It was an intentional step back for family time as I have 2 young boys (3 yrs & 10 mths...
The making of “The Zombie Chum Awakening part 2”
Day of Chum Fishing & Videoing The footage for The Zombie Chum Awakening 2 was captured on two different days: October 6 & 13. Ninety percent of the footage is from October 13, which was fitting as that was Friday the 13th. This day was particularly special as...
Vedder River Salmon Fishing in late September
Trip Summary It's late September and the weather continues to feel like the middle of Summer! Here in the Vancouver lower mainland and Fraser Valley area we've had a string of hot days. Although it's prolonged our summer it has kept our rivers very low and clear. This...
Vedder River Coho & Pink Salmon
Trip Summary It's mid September 2017 and that means Salmon fishing is starting to pick up in the Fraser Valley Area of British Columbia. I went out to the lower Vedder River in Chilliwack for the morning to look for any type of Salmon. The river has been very low with...

Howe Sound Pink Salmon Every odd year during the middle of summer the Howe Sound (Northwest of Vancouver up to Squamish) sees thousands of Pink Salmon returning to spawn. These Salmon are returning to the Squamish River along with smaller connecting systems like the...
Teaching Kids How to Fish
It’s the end of March 2017 and we had a very cold winter so Rice Lake in North Vancouver has only turned over (ice cleared) 2 weeks ago. Additionally, it looks like Go Fishing BC hasn’t yet stocked Rice Lake (or haven’t posted it). Typically, Rice Lake is stocked in the second or third week of March each year, but I’m assuming the late ice has pushed back their schedule. That said, I was unsure on how the fishing would be…
1st Winter Chilliwack River Trip (2016/2017 season)
The Winter Steelhead season has arrived, between now and April Steelhead will be moving into the rivers in the Fraser Valley. This trip was my first outing on the Chilliwack River in late December, 2016. My buddies Neal and Zach came on this trip. We put on a lot of river mileage but came up empty with the Steelhead. All in all, it was a great day with my good buddies.
Maui Fishing – Mahi Mahi & Wahoo Action
My wife and I went to Wailea, Maui for 8 days in November of 2016. One of the highlights of the trip was the overnight chartered fishing trip. We left at 11:00 pm and got back at 11:00 am. We were fishing around 50 miles off Lahaina, Maui for Mahi Mahi, Ahi & Wahoo. Unfortunately, we lost 2 big Ahi tuna’s that morning but got into 20 Mahi Mahi and 1 big Wahoo trolling on the way home.
Harrison River – Sturgeon & Salmon Combo
The Chum action was nonstop in the morning and was one of the best Chum days I’ve ever had! Every other cast was a fish, the four of us limited out on Chum within an hour (all clean doe’s). Not only was the Chum fishing a success but we got into 4 Sturgeon and landed 3. No monsters (the “big one” got away) but Neal and Tweedy both got their first Sturgeon.
The Zombie Chum Awakening! Happy Halloween!
Chum Salmon fishing in the middle of October on the Stave River. We got our arm workout by fighting Chum’s all morning!
