when fishing up north (charlottes, central coast and north coast) the majority of the time i felt more fish were caught fairly in close to the shore... near walls, points, hump, in bays, etc... basically anywhere with structure.
as the summer approaches, i am looking at my third summer fishery here in victoria... i always felt more confident in close, but its seems that lots of boats fish farther off shore here than what i'm used to... its pretty regular to see more than half of the boats i see fishing 200 + feet, which i wouldn't have expected... and i could be wrong, but it seems people do pretty well farther out.
what do people here in sooke/victoria prefer? do people have more luck in close or farther out? almost all of the biggest fish i caught up north were in tight, and the biggest one in sooke was in tight, but it seems guys do really well farther out as well...
anyone care to shed some light on this topic? any prefences on ocean depth? i know different locations fish differently, but just was wondering if anyone had some thoughts they'd be willing to share....
thanks
