    Pender Bluffs

    Out this morning 6:30-12:30, two sockeye on, one bit thorough the leader and the other came off next to the boat. Then all went quiet and a the whales turned up, so many boats following the whales! We called it a day after that, dead calm, dead fishing.

    Out this morning at 7:30-2:00pm, one good size sockeye in the boat and 3 smaller ones released. Lots of boats but not much action. Hopefully it will pick up as the days pass. The keeper was in bloody nose anchovies, 90ft.

Two small springs, then a third about half an hour later which we released as it was undersized. We were all alone to begin with then 4 other...

    Fished Fairfax this morning 6am right at the tide change, got a 12lber in the first 15min, then another one on shortly after but it came off, chewed through the leader. Then it went quiet, saw one more salmon picked up around 9am. A few boats out at Coal but didn't see any action. Cheers

    Do you plug your boat into shore power at the dock? Do you run a battery charger when you leave the boat? Are you using your original 4 position switch? If so, you need to get rid of it and get an emergency combining switch.

    Fished Fairfax on Friday, one bite right at the point and then nothing. Kicker steering unit disconnected right in the tide rip, boad spun round and I had a nice mess of lines to deal with! Nasty dead head bobbed right past the boat, reported it to Victoria Coastguard, hopefully they flagged...

    Elk Lake

    Hey Twinwinds, was down at the fishing pier on Elk lake last week. If you want him to catch fish fast, worm and bobber right off the right had side of the pier. We were fishing power bait with about 6 other guys and a girl with a worm and bobber was having all the fun! They might not be trout...

    Great looking boat. Question for you in the know, I currently have the use of a 28ft fishing boat, too big to trailer and tricky to fish out of when alone. I live in North Saanich and I'm looking for a smaller boat to trailer out to Sooke and beyond, not out to Swiftsure or anything like that...

    Pender Bluffs Sockeye

    Fished Pender yesterday, one sockeye for me, tons of fish around and 5 longliners fished it all day. Didn't see that many people catching, I got mine at 160ft on the rigger! I was getting desperate and decided to go deep. Cheers,
