Oak Bay Sea Rescue is on the water today from Oak Bay to Sooke. We will be doing joint training with the boys from Sooke. We are doing safety checks for our gas money . They gave us bling to hand out for each check we do. If you don't mind, wave us over.
I promise not to GPS your favourite Hali hole.

No need to run to the bank, there are fish close to shore...
What depth were you guys finding them and what time?? I tried yesterday from 930-1130am. I was only running one downrigger....which could only get down about 110' so I pretty much ran that line from Esq Anglers to Flagpole and back and nada...

Go deep Andrew ! my best depth was between 150- 170' dragging the balls just off bottom.

Argghhh!! That is what I figured! I need to drop my one rigger off at scotty and add some length to the other one. I thought about going out to those depth lines but didn't see a point if my gear was only getting down 110'(w 145' of braid out).
Thanks!

Good to hear someone got the right spot! We managed 100 in 6 traps and everyone i talked too out there was doing worse than that.

Yep, 135 - 140 off the rigger for us in 130ish feet of water.

Is that 35-100 each trap? Went out today and tried a few unconventional spots and nada. Found some off Coles but Pat Bay and Moses were a bust for us.

Our best set was out front of deep cove, 50 between 6 traps, so we shuffled off to bamberton and picked up the other 50 after a couple of dead prospect strings

Ever notice how often you get a fish on and only get a few head shakes and a small run before the seal gets it ?
I think they follow the boats hanging just far enough back to see & hear the action when a fish bites.
They then swim up fast and take the struggling fish and the fight is on.
