I have a few general questions about pink fishing
1 - I know the pinks only go down the west coast of the island (sooke) on odd numbered years. My question is can you catch them all over the sooke area or are the just out in the shipping lanes? Anytime I have fished for them we have gone way out, I only have a small boat (8.5 ft.) so I can only go out on very nice days and can't venture far from shore. This should be alright for some spring/sockeye fishing but will I be able to knab some pinks as well?
2 - Do pinks only go up the inside of the island (Campbell River) on even years or are they there every year?
Thanks for the info. I know we are 10 months away from any pink fishing but I just got my boat (or dingy if you want to call it that ) and I am excited to catch a salmon in it.
