Fished the harbour today from 6:30 to 11:30. Released a few big wild coho that we got on the bottom. Minutes before watching Craven battle his big fish my buddy got the 10 lb spring. Back out tomorrow at 6:30 with sister in law from Ontario. If we hook up she gets the rod. Will be fun.

Was out off the breakwater again this am. What a beauty day, calm clear water basking in the sun. 6 lb female hatch on green flasher and spoon about
8;30am got the skunk off again. Was a bit quiet for a while then I think I saw Scott land his fish as well as another boat. We were heading down the breakwater heading towards clover just past the bend in the wall when the stars aligned. My buddy had the first fish so I was on this one and all that good clean living paid off. It started as about a 12 to 15 pound but got a bit more stubborn then a seal showed up so the pressure was on. The drag was on tight, kicker still in forward, I wasn't making much progress as the seal (small one) looked on. The fish got closer to the boat and it appeared this was a good size fish that wasn't ready to get netted as I battled the beast closer we had a chance at her but this fish made my net look small as it wriggled back out and sounded under the boat. Luckily another chance at the side and with a grunt she was in the net and in the boat. On my scale in the boat 26 1/2 wild red female on the same green spoon in 75 ft of water and 54 on the rigger. Take that Sooke hehe.

Thanks for the reports!
Anyone know of good spots to fish from shore off Gordon Head or launch a fishing kayak? Looking at moving to the Glencoe Cove area and it would be great to have my son grow up working for his food rather than just learning from dad trolling. Feel free to PM me, I'll only fish there once or twice a year if I'm lucky but I plan for this to be my last move with any luck!
No fishing reports from me as back to school and house hunting prep has taken all my time.

You could launch the kayak at Telegraph Bay, then paddle out of the bay, turn right and its a short paddle to Ten Mile Point. I'm not sure if many fish are caught off there anymore, but as a young kid, I used to ride my bicycle there and cast off the rocks. It used to be almost shoulder to shoulder there with guys fishing.
There are a few kelp beds around the bay aswell so Greenling could be on the menu.
I also used to cast off the rocks at the bottom of Gordon Head road where it becomes Ferndale.

I occasionally see people casting off Cormorant Point. Not sure if they are catching.

X2 for Ten Mile. Used to live on Smugglers Cove Road and fished there a lot. There is still good jigging around there.

I love guessing weights... a little bit 3D on the hold there, gonna say 13#.
Well done @Stizzla! 14 lbs on the scale. Caught on a medium Herring in a glow green bullet role teaser head behind a green flasher at 58 ft on the rigger. No other hits for the 4 hour tour. Didn't get on the water until 10 am.
Awesome pic Newf. Saw you out there...it's such an interesting place to fish!
