I don't think so Andrew! His post was about a p.m. session and I was there a.m. He did not say if he fished a.m. but if he did, guaranteed he caught more than I did!! LOL
Sooke 2014 Fishing Reports
- Thread starter Last Chance
- Start date
Tips...it was old news as I went there the same afternoon and the fish had moved on. If I was out this morning (which I wasn't) I would have tried the beach at Otter for a few passes to see if they stopped there. As said by others...when you are on the water lots of hours you have a big advantage at planning where and when for the following trips. It isn't a guarantee but it does increase the odds of success and consistency of catches.
Nice fish, English! Enjoyed watching you land this slab! See, you did outfish profisher today - he had nothing
We ended up with a 15.5 and a slightly larger spring that we let go. We also released one about 7 lbs spring, a pink and one wild coho. Missed another better fish that only stuck for a few seconds. Not a consistent bite but a bit here and there according to the motto: find bait - find fish. As tips said, we were out west, early to noon. Gorgeous day.
Was there yesterday as well and just missed profisher's show in the morning. There were still a few snaps after that but we lost two nice ones, one because it ran into the rocks and kelps and one because a damn commie boat almost ran us over and threw a wake that almost flipped us while playing a large fish. Ticked off was an understatement! Managed a 14.4 spring beside a pink and small clipped coho. Released a bunch more Cohos and tons of shakers that day too.
To note, Andrew's spoon outfished bait yesterday, today slightly behind. Nice piece of a lure! Thanks Andrew!

Out on Tuesday...for a not so early morning and had a rough go of it. Couple of good hits, but nothing stuck. My theory is Profisher took them all!
Still a good day out sunny with no fog in sooke...but sure lots of boats for a Tuesday!

Nice work Englishman, and nice to meet you at the launch in the morning. We also went west to Muir and dropped our gear there , picked up a 7-8 pounder at the light. Looped around there for a bit then kept heading west with just a few taps and a couple of small wild coho. We ended up back at the light and did manage a scrappy 15 lber at about 1:00 pm. Trolled all the way back to the trailer park without a sniff of nothing. Did not see much caught.

Ive been keeping 2 overs since the 18th. If DFO wants to dick us around and not give info out. I assume when the slot say until July 18th that if it continued past that time it would be posted.

I called fisheries on Monday, 2 over 45cm from now till year end according to the lady on the desk.
I phoned today to and was told the same. The local office is taking lots of calls and knew why I was calling before I asked. Seems that Ottawa is to busy to confirm that we are now back to 2 Chinook no upper limit. I guess they are to busy back there hob knobbing with the Norwegians.
