Has anybody been out salmon fishing around Church rock / Whirl Bay / Pedder Bay lately?
If all goes to plan I am going to try Whirl Bay tomorrow.
P.S. Why is this thread not sticky? Brian????
Good luck out there Englishman. I might make it out there too.
Cheers
Fished whirl bay last night got double header just of church lost one got the other. Full of herring. Going to Constance today good luck everyone
Out off Sooke Bluffs today. A nice 14-18 lb to boat. Alas and so sad to let it go. Catch and release salmon fishing is alive and well on SCVI. Lost a smaller one on way to boat.
“The Gods do not subtract from men’s lives - the time spent fishing.”
Fished whirl bay and pedder bay today. Picked up a 6lb wild and a 5lb hatchery at low slack. Both on coyote spoons, 150ft on the sounder and 130ft on the rigger.
No more action from salmon for the rest of the day but bottom fishing was decent.
Sammyslabber and I changed our minds about Whirl Bay today and instead trolled up and down from Sooke Harbour Mouth to Otter point and back a few times. It was definitely a very Good Friday as we had four hits and boated two beauty fish of 13lb and 15lb plus a small one of 5lb. Best pair of winter fish to my boat to date!! All on anchovy on green/glo teaser heads in the 100 -140’depth range and all three were hatchery!
I think holmes grabbed my junk in the "pile on" though....I found it inappropriate but I was released gently; given what we were piling on about I found it educational as to a good release.~ Pip
And Lipripper - until you have been there, I would strongly suggest you STFU. ~ bigbruce
