What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Vancouver, British Columbia for the first time?

I didn't know it was peak season for salmon when I went, and even though we didn't catch anything, I had a great time out on the water with Roy. You can't expect to catch a bunch of fish every time you go fishing, that's not the point. I made a new friend today, and that's more important.

Jacket or light raincoat comes in handy. Know that the seals will nab a meal off your hook when around

Go further out, to Vancouver Island, not just in the Harbour of the city. Use bait.
