Well went out today and was slow for the first 3 hours, didn't see to much but one salmon caught then the bite seemed to come on and looked like most boats were into fish. We managed to get 6 springs between 5-10 pounds. Usual spots and depths. Any color flasher and teaser didn;t seem to matter.

has anyone tried the bluffs to trailer park lately

 

[Tailspin]

Heard from another Sooke Guide... Notable 18 and 21 lb scrappers a few days back in that general area.

 

[Tailspin]

Any good pics of this? David?

 

[addicted]

Funny that we often hear about these big fish and rarely see them Justin... I've been at it for god knows how long and only topped 19lbs once in the winter. I'd love to see a pic too! And don't get me wrong boys... I'm not calling B.S. on the rumor at all.

 

[Tailspin]

Guess there are a few around Packy. I have had the odd high teen, mostly late Feb early March, no twenties though. Maybe this is our year, Christmas fish! You, Dewey and I, Ah and Shields too if he ever comes outta the bush from hunting! lol.

I found anchoring up off of Church, a float with 160' down to your pencil lead and a BC oragnge Gooey Bob work the best for the big winter springs! Roe Bags showed me that one

 

[addicted]

Ya Justin! I'd love to get a few over Chistmas! Off from the 24 to Jan 6 so we can get out on your boat or mine! Shields will come if we bribe him.... lol

 

[totally tyee]

Out today with Yo Mama. Fished Whirl for 4 hours from 8-12. 2 fish on, both got the bonk, both around 10 pounds.

[Lipripper]

Maybe this should have its own thread?
Sounds like a good idea... 20 bucks for kids too?
Is it a prepay or at Jocks in the morning?

 

[Paul Pudwell]

If you can get Aldin at the shop, you can prepay...if not...in the morning will be fine.
$20 for the Kids if they want in on the big prize money...otherwise...kids are free and there will be a smaller prize given to them for the biggest fish.
