Playing poker the other night and a guy was trying to convince me that a 67 pounder came into Sooke Harbour in August, and like a high 50's as well to Cheanuh...he swore by it even though we called him on it...anyone heard anything along those lines that could verify??
I did hear of one in Aug. In the mid 50's but personally saw one come in and get hung on the scales and it weighted 49.5 lbs. I believe it came from Secretary. As for me catching one that big.... I can only dream......lol.
thats exactly it...if i caught a 67 pounds, or high 50's, i'd sure of heck headed to outfitters knowing a big prize awaits! The guy didn't 'look' like he was full of it, but we were playing poker after all and that might have been his poker face ...says he lives nearby sooke harbour marina and gets the scoop on most of the catches. I may call out of my own damn curiousity. Never know...some local old guy that doesn't care about the fame or doesn't even know outfitters has a 'leaderboard', just wants to enjoy his catch in peace???
wait a minute now....is this article 'current' as in this year? Does say copyright to 2007....
Sooke Harbour contains a wealth of coves and bays that happily lend themselves to exploration by kayak or sail. But make your way into open waters, and you can see why for some fishing is a highlight of any visit here. To date, the largest salmon caught was 67 pounds; the largest halibut, 206 pounds. And there is far more to experience than fishing in these waters.
