Sooke 2014 Fishing Reports

[SpringVelocity]

Out yesterday in the new boat for sea trial/fish day.

Got one Chinook about 5 lbs and that was it for us. Fished from trap and tried whirl for a few minutes on way back. Was nice to get out and a lot of fish out there which is nice to see...

 

[trendsetter]

Nice work guys! Bigger then I thought!


My Grandfather Let a 30 wild go and boated a double of 15pound hatches byhimself lastnight. Great start to the year!


Today was slow this AM hit it for a 3 hour stint with only one 6 pounder released to show.

Where was the tyee caught? Was it weighed, measured or just eye-balled? Nice to hear that some slabs are coming through this early.

Today was a great day, Took a buddy out and was into 12 springs all on spoons no flasher. All fish were 8-13 pounds. 81-88ft

So much bait the rods were shaking a few times oh and then after the bait stopped shaking the rods, we doubled up! SWEET!

Nauti, that fish belongs to the guy I was fishing with. Most the fish I post about are his, but I do a damn good job netting them.

That's awesome Steve.

Not sure that I got my info right but isn't not a good idea to use fly rods when the majority of the fish have to be released. No offense KK, just something I have heard.

I dont fish with flashers and find I can normally land the fish equally as fast with my 9wt as I can a mooching rod. I am using an Islander MR3 drag is the same. Not much difference other then the flyrod doesent bother my Dads hernia. Its a great way for him fish pain free.

Steve, that is awesome catching fish on spoons like that. Are you using dummy flashers? Anyway, I have not had much success with spoons (except in winter) but it would sure save a lot of money on anchovies. Guess I''ll have to try it some more, either on the rigger or maybe over the back with banana weight - that way, since I'm not confident, I won't "use up" one of my rigger slots!!
