One hook-up last season, not landed.
The condition last year was absolutely perfect. The water was clear, the amount of fish coming through each tide was thick, but they were sure tight-lipped.
Right now, because the water is so dirty, only bait fishing is possible at Garry Point Park. Fishing with dough, worm or shrimp under a small float can produce peamouth chub, northern pikeminnow, sculpin, largescaled sucker. These are your typical food fish but they provide some good entertaining in the evening after a warm day like this.
Once the water gets clearer in August, that's when the fun begins.
We usually like to throw small spinners and spoons during the incoming tide in the bays. Northern pikeminnow, especially large ones, would bite it.
Starting in the end of August for about 3 weeks, you'll also be able to catch pink salmon from there this year. With 20.5 million fish expected to return, some will definitely pass through Garry Point Park. The best period starts two hours before flood tide.
In October and November, when freshwater discharge is lower from the Fraser River, many saltwater species often move in with the incoming tide too. If you cast a heavily weighted rig far out from the rocks, you have a chance of hooking a pacific tomcod, flounder and dogfish. Chum salmon also pass through there during those two months and can be targeted by spoons.
Come out to Saturday's event at London's Landing and you can ask me about it more.
Have fun.
