5 hrs on the flats and the gap today...not a sniff. Jigged and trolled. Nice morning though.
Fished for Hali out of Pedder as well. Lost a 25-30lb one at the boat but we did manage to get two smaller ones before noon. We also got our share of dogfish as well. Reported earlier on the Sooke Report page.Fished for hali out of Pedder today. The parking lot was a ghost town at 7:30. Solid dogfish action for 5 hours but a pretty nice day on the water.
What depths were you at?Fished Sunday Flats, 12 lbs and 6 lbs and released two others and lost one and had two other hits. Beautiful day. and fishing was pretty good. Bait everywhere but on the small side.
Trail islandFished the waterfront 7-12 on Sunday. First time in a month or more in that area for me. Picked up a 6lb hatch off of brochie right at the bottom 120ft. Purple haze flasher and cop car spoon. That was the only it.
Picked up the 3 grandkids, son and daughter in law at 1pm and went to Albert Head as the kids wanted to jig for rock cod. The youngest (8) got his first ever ocean fish, a rock about 10-11" long but no way was he releasing it. Wanted it for dinner,,,,he said to his siblings, "I caught my dinner, don't know what you guys are eating". Ha ha. They also pulled the crab pot. Lots of undersized but did have 3 keepers. Love it when they want to go on the boat with me but I prefer one at a time. A 8,9 and 10 year old make quite a chatter when they are on a small boat.
Are there places around the waterfront, other than Albert Head, where you can pick up rockfish? The few that I've picked up at Albert with the kids have been really small.
Right on bottom, dragging bottom all the time 70-90 ft depth on sounder but with blow back on riggers about 117 - 121 ft of line out.What depths were you at?
Grey C-Dory fishing 3 rods ?
Yeah he was pretty hot Sunday.Yeah, and you probably saw us with the hay nest of tangle lines once as well! Looking for a house in Cadboro Bay these days too if you have any neighbours selling a bigger lot to park the boat. Bonk anything? Pretty tough to keep up to NB!
