Constance was great today once you busted out of the inshore fog bank. limits in a couple hours, finished it with a double header of which one had to be release at the boat as that made one to many.


Yomama, you turned down a great day! Next time.

 

[Fins -n- Skins]

Fished Conny today, but the fish where all small 5-6#. Everybody was banging them, but did not see one decent fish. I guess we should of fished Clover, looked busy.

Tournament Proven !

4 fish for us today off of Clover Pt. All were 6-10 lbs. Pretty nice day too. All on purple haze hootchies on the bottom at 140 ft.

Was surprised to find that two were white springs.

Seafood, eat it, then catch more.

Seems to be better action out there right now than there has been all year long. Nothing big, but plenty.

 

[Poe]

Got a few hours in around sooke today one 9 one 5 and a few that were embarrassing [)] . Yes it seems to be busier than during the regular season. Green jellyfish flasher and pink hoochie off the bottom.

 

[Gypseas]

Another gorgeous morning in Sooke. Got a couple for the barbie Q.
cheers

Great pics Gypseas. You should be framing that one of the sunrise -- give a copy to the Sooke Harbour Marina and maybe they will reduce your moorage fees []

 

[likwit]

wow, was there a lot of boats off the waterfront. we got a late start... at noon i counted over 20. the day certainly warranted it though. it was t-shirt weather!

lost our first one and then my sister landed her first salmon ever. hooray. hatchery 8-10 pounder. army truck spoon on a red flasher. (i don't think it mattered). sounds like most boats were doing pretty well.

called it quits and went to watch the nucks beat the leafs. what a day.

 

[addicted]

Decided to take the two, and five year old daughters out to Constance at 1:30 on Sunday....First time for them but I couldn't pass up the weather! Used some old dried up bait and caught my two in 15 min.... The fish are suicidal...Kids are hooked!

 

[Gypseas]

Yeah no shiat bud... its due next month [B)]

cheers

We fished constance this morning. It was a lot rougher then i expected but calmed down by 11:00. Managed three in the box plowing the bottom. Was a lot of killer whales out there also.

Beutiful out there

3 days and no fish reports!!! We're going out tommorrow morning,no NOT anywhere near Clover Point.Wind warning is still effective but hopefully will be gone by morning. If not maybe a good Canucks game will happen...haha..not. Maple Leafs all the way!!

 

[rico]

I will be going there on sunday, weather permitting of course. Launch at cattle and then around trial and i am gonna try there heading towards clover.
Craven, what do you think? Much happening on the flats? I was also wondering how much leader for the winters...
Thanks,
Rico

 

[Last Chance]

Was out briefly this afternoon, was quite a short swell, we had someone turn green so we had to turn right around after 20 mins. Out there with another crew in the morning, wheather permitting.

Hoochies I bought came stock 36". After 2 hours changing them realized,duh, that the hooch wasn't acting at all right. cut off 12",15 minutes later.. So for me 24" is what i'll go with tommorrow. Good luck.
