    2023 Sooke Reports

    Are the Sablefish of a size worth keeping? I've only ever caught one before and it was about 12 inches so back it went. I would love to get into some larger ones nearby.

    2023 Sooke Reports

    Fished for Hali out of Pedder this morning and left the dock at about 6. Dropped the traps in Pedder on the way out and anchored up off William head. Fished from 7 to 12 with absolutely no action, like nothing, not even a dogfish. I was with a friend who has never caught a halibut before and...

    2022 Sooke Reports

    Out early this morning and tried Pedder Bay from 6:15 till 10:30 am, a couple of shakers, and one pin popper that didn't stick. Gave up on the bay and headed to Beecher Bay. Started in the bay and worked my way around to the head, had another pin popper that didn't stick then finally was able...

    2021 Sooke Reports

    I lost one yesterday when the hook on my Skinny G broke as well, wasn't a huge fish either. Also not the first time this has happened. I guess will change them out straight out of the package going forward.

    2021 Victoria and Oak Bay Reports

    I was out Tuesday and I think I saw your float off William Head, Yellow float with another small one attached to it (red if I remember correctly) I took a quick look at it but there was a boat that was sitting nearby so I assumed it was its owner keeping a close eye on it. If I had to guess it...

    Custom made aluminum top for a 20 foot Thunder Jet

    I would love to hear your guy's opinions on adding a custom-made aluminum top to my 20-foot Thunderjet. The original canopy is getting old and will need to be replaced soon, might be able to get one more season out of it. I keep the boat in the marina for the summer and wrap it in a tarp in...

    2020 Sooke Reports

    Fished Saturday morning around 7 am in Pedder Bay, but nothing going on, no hits, and didn't see anyone else hookup. So headed down to Church Rock and was able to pick up a 4lb hatchery coho and released another wild one. The weather forecast looked amazing today so I decided to give it a go...

    I tried for Hali on Friday at the Mudhole and had the same result as you. Lots of boats out there and it didn't seem like there was much going on.

    2019 Sooke Reports

    Went out solo today and fished Church Rock with a few other boats. No luck and I didn't see the other boats doing much so I decided to troll out deeper and see if I could find any coho. Fished deep out in front of Church and Beecher Bay and got into a some nice schools of Coho. Had four...

    Fished Pedder bay this morning, had the lines in the water just after 6 am, lots of bait showing on the sounder. Picked up a shaker right away and released it, rebaited right away with an extra large anchovy. Minutes later had a great hit and after a great fight netted a nice Chinook just under...

    Too funny, Rockdog I am glad you guys enjoyed the entertainment, you can't have a circus without the clowns. I fish a lot by myself and when fishing solo it doesn't take much for things to go sideways in a hurry. I especially find it challenging when there is any bit of wind, my aluminium boat...

It looked like someone had backed their trailer into the bushes and when they drove away it got caught on a tree branch and ripped it off...
