What a difference one day makes and a different location, out off sooke yesterday,otter point, prime parking spot right close to the hotel. Today, went to Esquimalt this am, had a later start, 8:30, had to park a block away.
Headed out to Constance, yup, it was parking lot. Tried for halibut west of the bank, lots of dogs, we had 1 halibut that hit hard, went to set the hook, nada. Reeled the line up, all that was left was the swivel on the leader. Just my luck!!
We did see the whales go through at about 11:30 ish, on the north part of Constance. Survey folks were at the dock when we got back at 4:30, said that only about 4-5 salmon came in and about 4 halibut. One day the fish will start comimg back.........
