Main targets
Coho Salmon
Oncorhynchus kisutch
Acrobatic and aggressive, coho are the shore angler's salmon. They push baitfish against beaches in the fall and hit fast-moving lures.
Lingcod
Ophiodon elongatus
An aggressive ambush predator of rocky structure. Lingcod hit jigs hard and fight dirty around the reef — heavy tackle and quick pressure win.
Rockfish (Sebastes spp.)
Sebastes spp.
Dozens of species share one habit: structure. Rockfish are the reliable backbone of BC bottom fishing and perfect for new boat anglers.
Pink Salmon
Oncorhynchus gorbuscha
The smallest and most numerous Pacific salmon, famous for huge schooling runs every second year. Pinks bite small pink lures willingly and are the easiest salmon for beginners to catch from shore.
Chum Salmon
Oncorhynchus keta
A big, hard-fighting fall salmon that fills coastal rivers in October and November. Ocean-bright chum strike chartreuse and purple lures aggressively; coloured river fish are powerful and acrobatic.
Cutthroat Trout
Oncorhynchus clarkii
A native coastal trout that hunts fry and shrimp in estuaries, beaches and small rivers. Sea-run cutthroat follow the tide, ambush baitfish along shore, and rise eagerly to flies and small spinners.
Kelp Greenling
Hexagrammos decagrammus
A colourful nearshore fish of kelp and rock, catchable from shore, piers and small boats on light tackle. Males are blue-patterned, females rusty-spotted, and both peck at small baits fished tight to cover.
Starry Flounder
Platichthys stellatus
A hardy flatfish of estuaries and sandy bays that even ventures into fresh water in lower rivers. Starry flounder are easy for shore anglers to catch on small baits fished on the bottom.
