When is the best time to come fishing for either salmon or halibut?

When booking a trip for halibut you should watch the tides for the smallest difference between the high and low slack, generally this occurs near the quarter moon phase. If you book during and around this time you should have the most success.
When fishing for salmon the tides are not as important as they are for bottom fish. The salmon start to show up in late May and will continue to be in the area until late September early October.
Peak Season for Salmon fishing June 15th – Sept 1st

Fishing in Port Hardy
We have consistent fishing all season. Our strategic Vancouver Island fishing charter location is the route that most fish pass through.
Salmon fishing on Vancouver Island starts mid May and continues until the end of September.
Early June expect good catches of Chinook (10-45 lbs).
Late June the first Coho arrive, and larger ones in mid July to early August (8-12 lbs).
August is excellent for larger Chinook (60 lbs), Coho (20+ lbs) and Pinks as well as the occasional Sockeye and Chum.
Bottom fishing for Halibut, Lingcod and Red Snapper is excellent from May through September. Enjoy a superb fishing experience with Codfather Charters.
