Thursday morning in the fog tried mooching off the south corner of Secretary. A big fish pounded the cut plug right off the kelp. Enough pressure to pull my little tinner into the tide and away. Fortunately the seals were still sleeping. A decent scrap and I got the fish near the boat. Clearly over. I was alone. Played yo yo with it as I tried to grab it with 6oz weight bashing everywhere. The leader eventually parted. Since I lost the fish, I'm going to say it was 25#. 
After that, a school of black bass ate most of my herring. Tried Possession but it was busy and I'm sure I was annoying to trollers. Nothing on the sounder.

Looks like Sealeggs
I can't believe the amount of crab traps in Sooke harbour. Both my traps were loaded with females and undersized with only a couple of keepers. I can't help but assume that a lot of those traps in Sooke and elsewhere are derelict. Perhaps there should be an occasional closure to identify and remove such traps.

Just to be clear, if the earth was flat a lunar eclipse would appear as a linear shadow across the equator of the moon. I'm just saying.

Anyone brave the wind this morning?
Hoping to bring the kids down for a fish Sunday weather permitting and they generally only have a couple hours in them. Trying to figure out if I should launch at spirit bay and fish beachy head to secretary or launch in sooke and head up towards otter point/muir creek.

First current change (ebb to flood) just happening wait for it. Pretty sure there will be some fish caught. Be prime time also mid day bite.
In response to question above go out of spirit bay. It's better for the kids and you tuck into bay if fog gets nasty.
You can also jig for some rockfish to make it fun for them
Tommorow the ebb current slows down mid morning so will be very flat with the light west wind. Might be a bit bumpy first thing going into the ebb with opposing west wind. At least in bay you can decide which way to go.

thanks a lot：）sounds great
Great day at Otter today with my "little" son. 4 good springs, kept 2. Had another mature spring (already getting dark) but only 5# - must be a jack. 2 Cohos (one super fat one) but both wild. Lost at least 2 more good springs. Bait outfished hardware hands down today. And my son me! At one time I lost 3 fish within 10 minutes, Jeez! None of the fish clipped. One of the springs was white. And almost the entire SVIAC executive on the water today!
