Late post from yesterday:
Left the dock at 6:15 to battle the fog and head out to Otter. Started on the outside and worked my way into the tack, and as I got closer to the shore, the boats started appearing out of the fog, and appearing and appearing. Too many boats for my liking, I lasted about 15 minutes and started to head out to Muir with the tide. Fished the top of Muir, hooked into a couple of shaker springs, released a pink and then landed a 7-8 lb wild coho that lived to see another day.
After a couple hours we headed to Sherringham, on the way, about 1/4 mile before the lighthouse, double header, 1 long release, the other was another wild coho about 5 lbs. not much going on for us there, seen a few fish caught, but nothing of size when we were there. About 1:30, decided to go a little deeper, 70', rewarded with a nice hit on the rod immediately after we had noticed it on the finder ( which never happens to me), handed the rod to my son who made the trek, fight was short live, a long line release.
Packed up around 2, headed back to sooke, passed Otter, really surprised at how the water was ripping through Otter compared to Sheringham.
Fished from 35-75' with chrome green, bloody nose, and purple haze all with anchovy, purple haze had a few more hits than the other two.
