Springs were in @ Renny on Thursday...it was hot & heavy all morning at East Point and Logan was pretty good as well until about 1 pm.
Saw a 45 on the hook on Weds, and heard of another 45 caught on Thurs. Tons of fish between 20-30, and a good bunch over 30.
Limits of sockeye Wed & Thurs... halis great on weds little slower Thurs.

would it make more sense to drive and launch from renny or can it be reasonbly done from sooke.
I run a 20'lund fisherman w/ GPS/Sonar and backup engine... just asking because we are heading to sooke next week and if the fish are not in yet might have to go where they are.
we have cabins booked at Sunnyshores already so we are dedicated to use them.
Hoping the fish will move in by then but you never know. It does sound like it is starting to heat up around sooke.
And how far out would a guy be looking at going.

it's a 70 kilometer run.
on a nice flat day, no problem, but if wind comes
up you're pooched !
would not wanna run 70 k's in 25 knot winds in too many boats !

Awsome engine.. pushes my 20'along at 52mph GPS's w/20deg prop with all five of us (family) in it. Pulls my boys out of the hole sking no sweat oldest is already 17 and a husky boy.
And believe it or not I was trolling for lakers with it at 2.0 to 2.5 no prob. I put on a 9.9 also. Mostly so I don't HR out big engine and it never hurts to have back up.
It is new yet I only have maybe 30hrs on it so can't give a comment on reliability yet but so far the stories i've heard are all good.

No it's not a repower she's a brand new toy all around... Boat, 2 electric 1100 scottys 175 E-TEC, 9.9 Johnson 4 stroke, seperate GPS & sonar radois she's a sweet thing [8D]
This will be her maiden voyage out west [
] [] so you can emagine the excitement...
Fuel usage seem's to be good and will improve while trolling now that I have the 9.9 on.

A perfect example of Rennie's 'on again', 'off again' fishery this year. We were there Friday and it was SLOW! No real bite period at all. Charter chatter indicated most boats fishing and getting some some sockeye just to put fish in the boat. We managed 1 and lost 1 in the space of 20 minutes and then nothing. Still not the numbers of fish we're used to seeing out there.
What was your most productive depth 'islandphile' for the springs?
totally tyee
