Thanks Steve! Seems bait is the way to go. Been fishing spoons with very little luck on connstance.

Where you fishing Steve? Constance?

Out today on Constance from 4:30 - 7pm. One hatchery Coho. watermelon coho killer. Missed another. Pretty slow but at least ended dry streak.

What's the science behind fish holding in certain places and not others? As a child I fished Oak Bay flats often. Hardly ever came home with much. Now, I fish mostly Constance bank and the waterfront. Seems better in August, September, October. But this year it's been dry for several months...

Out today again at constance from 11 till 4. Not a bite. Didn't see any other nets come out on the other boats either. Fair number of seals tho one of which took off with flasher and all. Waiting on those Sooke fish to come thru.

Not sure if this plays a factor for Salmon but Saanich Inlet is Seasonally Anoxic (depleted in oxygen) in Spring & Summer. Fishing Bamberton or just outside the inlet itself could yield results. Or maybe just the top layer of water...

With there being herring in Saanich Inlet does that imply winter springs & halibut there as well? (assuming they follow the feed) Just moved my boat to Christmas point (mother-inlaws dock) but have always found saanich inlet to a bit dead for winter springs. Never heard of halibut fishing in...

Thanks for the awesome explanation. I get it now. March 8 has a 0.3m fluctuation. Today we had almost 2M fluctuation...not so good.

What makes a good tide? One low & high in the same day?

Great. Thanks for the info. I'm a beginner when it comes to Hali. Appreciate it!

Fantastic! Looks chilly but might be worth a try. Curious - Is there a Halibut season on the south island similar to the summer salmon runs?

Out from 1 till 3 on waterfront. Clover to Mcaughly. Not a bite.

Whoever you go with ensure it covers "Hull & Machinery". I use Coast Claims. Had an excellent experience having a complete inboard covered due to catastrophic failure.

Out for 1.5 hours between clover & inner harbour. 3 keepers. 1 @ 15# :) 120' of water dragging bottom. HOT out there.

Some good instructions & ideas here on how to rig plugs below. Can't say I've tried any of these. Guess it's time to experiment. http://tomiclure.com/instructions/stacking/ http://tomiclure.com/instructions/flashers-dummies/...

Tried Constance today. Came up empty. Ended up bucking the afternoon tide for a couple hours. Black/whigd, green/silver spoons & coho killers. No dice. Nice sunset tho.

Hey, Sorry to interrupt this discussion. I'm new to this forum but have been fishing Victoria area for a while. Just wondering if anyone is having success at Constance? Heading out over the next few days but have been skunked various times in October. Thanks!
