Faack…..motored right by the area to head to Sooke….(because that’s were the fish were) possession was quiet so we went all the way to Otter for 1 spring (3 people)….oh well it’s just gas moneyFished out front of Victoria this morning with Stosh and another friend and we started at 6 and done by 7. Lots of fish around the green can boy and lots of boats landing fish in that area. There were about 14 boats at 6am and by 7am 22 boats.
Fish were caught at 60 ft on the Dr in 70 ft of water. All on bait.
We even got a hatchery fish (79cm) which was dropped off at Esq Anglers.
Fish were all red 79,76,74 cm.
The fish sure like hanging around the can boy and the harbor mouth area this year. Everyone around us had a net out and then the cruise ship came in and we all had to move out of the way. The bite continued on.
Why???Faack…..motored right by the area to head to Sooke….(because that’s were the fish were) possession was quiet so we went all the way to Otter for 1 spring (3 people)….oh well it’s just gas money
No the best fishing in yrs as we were forced by DFO to quite realeasing Nitnat stock 6 yrs ago ! If ant Anglers would turn in any Clipped Heads I could fine out what they came from! as not American as they clip all there’s !I do not fish the waterfront much but this seems to be a much better fishery than past years for this area at this time of year?
Can anyone confirm? any thoughts on why?
There's no fish at the waterfront. All a bunch of lies. Go to Sooke, stay away
Shhhhhh!!! You were referring to the breakwater in Sidney, right? Right???Good please stay at Sooke we had the best returns off our Breakwater in many yrs with Limits every day for last Month
Are the regs going to change on Sept 1st?Fished the water front today, from 6-10am. Lost a few first thing around the green can, then at 7 picked up a nice 10lber 70cm off the break water. Nothing else till 8:30 when we picked up a nice 13 lber 77cm off the can. 69 ft on the rigger in 70ft water. Headed out for some pinks, but couldn't find any, all I got was 3 more Chinook all 77cm. all released and swam away strong. Caught all fish on spoons and pink squirts. Can't wait for Sept 1st.
