Two nights ago,finally calmed down,nothing. Few night before that,rough,nothing. Havent seen many boats out here. Could be same as last year, hurry up and wait.

Another week,sounds good, Im looking forward to the Coho season. This year I am going to concentrate on some bucktailing as I used to few years ago when I fished Qualicum area.

 

[siwash]

[islandphile]

went out off the head and trap shack Monday, nothing. Personally didn't see a net raised that morning. Caught a couple of greeners over the bow when the we got caught into that nice tide off the head though. That's always fun, didn't like that ghetto blaster anyways.[:I]

 

[scott craven]

off the topic somewhat, but have fished every day this week
off Oak bay and only 2 fish for 7 trips, 6lb and 10lb springs
the guide boats have been working it pretty hard , no sure
how their success has been.
this is usually the peak season for Oak Bay...
not too impressive !

Craven, whatcha usin. Maybe its too big.

 

[scott craven]

4.0 coyote's in glo/green and blue/chrome
squirts and hootchies in purple haze , and glo/green

maybe it's time to bring out the bait ?[?]

Seen lots of longweekenders,boats,campers arriving in Sooke. Problem is the winds are up,probably for the whole stretch, keeping me off the water too. Check your weather or its a wasted trip

 

[scott craven]

yup, 25 knots at race rocks...
make for a lumpy fishing trip

[rockfish99]

yes, it was around 20 knots in Beecher Bay too Saturday morning, not too nice. no fish, didn't see any get caught. We thought that since it was ebbing current we would try the 'lee side' of the Bentnick Islands? (just sort of at the mouth of Beecher Bay). maybe less current? salmon would like it better? any ideas?

 

[scott craven]

if you read the times colonist, dc reid says
put down the hallie gear and start chasing the
big springs which arrive this weekend.
how would he know that

 

[wolf]

Just look at his web site the guy is GOD and for the mere price its well worth it to go out with him!!!!!!!


I dont think so!!!!!!!!!!!

[scott craven]

did ya know he catches more than 500 salmon a year ?[:0]

 

[Red Monster]

Did you know he talks to the fish. Some call him AC, others DC ...not that there's anything wrong with that.[]

 

[scottyboy]

lol[)]

 

[scott craven]

i challenged him on the 500 salmon a year statement...
think about it, thats 1.5 salmon a day every day of the year!

 

[Tailspin]

Snagged Springs as dark as boots on the Nitty Flow count for at least 450 of them i'd suspect![:0]
