Fished Sooke for the first time this season (Becher to Secretary Isl from 6:30 to noon). 4 Chinook, released two little guys, kept one in the mid-teens and another beauty just shy of the 85cm max. Fat football that peeled line with a few huge runs ... great fight. Also caught 8 coho, two hatch and 6 wild. All fish caught from 40-80 ft and on bait, hootchies and spoons. The big Chin was on bait, other decent Chin hootchie and the Coho loved the spoons and hootchies. Lots of large debris in the water for the ride back to Victoria. Also saw a dingy floating in the middle of nowhere past Race Rocks. I towed it in and will contact the police to see if someone reported one missing. If you know of anyone missing a little inflatable let me know. O, was also boarded by RCMP to check for safety gear, got a note saying I was "fully compliant" to avoid future fishing interruptions. A little sloppy at times with gusts of wind but all in all a great day!
