Pacific Ocean Adventure Off Vancouver Island

The Pacific off Vancouver Island has teemed with salmon all summer long in recent years. Another banner season this year persuaded me to hightail it up there for a few days of early August action, fishing with old friend (well, he’s not that old) Capt. Josh Temple (primetimeadv.com) from his 24-foot Grady-White cuddy. I was glad I did, as these photos suggest. See more photos and read the entire account in the Sport Fishing magazine feature next spring.
