I will report that the wind has kept us all off the water..lol. Hope to get out on Saturday am to fish a quiet little back eddy in oak bay.

See you there

 

[Humpbubble]

Slept in, but managed to get out for the end of what looked like a good bite in oak bay. Released a couple little fellas, and kept this to go with my Hali n crabs tonight. Meatz back on the menu.

 

[tinboatrobb]

Was that in the quiet little back eddy..lol

 

[Andrew P]

Got a couple nice ones in Oak Bay this morning, 8 and 18 (hatch) in the box and released some others. @tinboatrobb, I think we chatted with you when you left....which was moments before a short bite came on and then was over. Nice to see fish around.

 

[tinboatrobb]

Not I Andrew. We did not get out. I have a black Lund and have the net flying off the back. Maybe tomorrow.

 

[tinboatrobb]

Somebody find the damn wind switch and turn it off....please. lol

Jealous, that was my plan but I'll be working on the old 25 on the back of my tinner. Go get em for the tinner that isn't out!

Rolled through Cattle point on my way to work this morning, **** flat not a breeze. figures. ha ha.

 

[scott craven]

That figures, it's Monday...

 

[Kildonan]

I was out there. I have nothing good to say about the fishing. Still better than working though.

Was out 7-11 with a number of boats off breakwater and Mcaulay. Was a beauty day for boating, fishing not so good but a couple hard dungees made it all worthwhile. Seems the fish and bait are there but have lock jaw or my rookie skills are lacking still. I'm not giving up;-)

 

[tinboatrobb]

Kildonan. what boat do you run?

 

[Jaybones]

Tried for some Hali today in amongst the other boats out there, nothing for us. Stopped in Pedder on the way back to see if I could pick up a quick salmon ,no strikes, I will give it another go again tomorrow for salmon. Probably run down the Sooke way to try my luck down there. I am so overdue for a Chinook..it's driving me crazy.

 

[Kildonan]

Kildonan. what boat do you run?

I'm in a red Lund 14 ssv

 

[tinboatrobb]

we have the 14 ssv in black. Great boats.

Hi I am brand new to this forum but not new to Oak Bay having fished there for almost 50 years and learned from my father in law who started fishing there in the depression.
I have just been out a few times since getting a ,new to me ,old Arima sofar just one 8# spring near Brodie rock. I used to fish from brown shack to the light house at trial but I guess some of that is in the Rock fish protection area.
I haven't seen any one fishing the point near the light house does any one fish there?
I look forward to getting to know you all in the forum, on the water and at Cattle point.
Tight lines

We put in a about 3 hours along the waterfront and a couple at Oak Bay. Saw one fish caught on the waterfront and picked up a barely legal that we released on the flats. Didn't see much activity with regards to fish being caught in either spot. Was great to get out in some decent weather after cancelling a couple previous outings due to the wind!
