[Karma-Kazi]

Addicted-I would love to. But i think im going to wait it out a couple of years. This has been my best year ever. I just hope it doesent one day stop .

Englishmen- It took me 5 years of fishing with my dad befor I had my first multiple spring day. mind you I was only 13 at the time. I had been running my own rod since 8. One day you wil dial it in and have a multiple spring day.

A few from yesterday. A big thanks to Wise buys. Stopped in and grabbed a few new things and this weird green hootchie thing seems to amuse the silver ones!

Fished otter from 630 till noonish. Caught a 10 lb spring around 830. Not too much happening at otter or muir.


Moved to trap down to beechy head where we hit the coho's for some fast action. Three double headers in 20 minutes. 4 hatch 4. Wild.

2 Chinook wild or hatchry over 45 and 2 coho hatchery only and no Sockeye, which is a shame cause they are around right now and 8 to 10 pounds.
As of July 16

Fished the trap from 9-3, went crazy for coho between 10-11 when the flood started, ratio was about 2 to 1 for wild vs. clipped, but managed to get 6 clipped and one 14lb spring. Can't keep bait down when the coho are turned on, had to switch to plastic. Had a couple double headers. Did see a nice 25 & 20 at the dock. Seems the coho that were in thick at Otter last weekend have moved east, by reading the lastest posts for Otter/Muir.

Fogged in clarified that for you, 2 over 45 now.


And to clarify again.... while FFG may be exaggerating the size a whee bit (not by much).. He aint lying... Kids on a roll.

Good fishing, 5 springs to 18 lbs and 10 hatch coho for my group today! All within site of the marina. Some of the wilds released were well over 10lbs.

 

[pescador]

Fogged In, thanks, two wild or hatch Chinook a day over 45CM. Thats great news.

"And to clarify again.... while FFG may be exaggerating the size a whee bit (not by much).. He aint lying... Kids on a roll. "

And he has an uncanny ability to weigh released fish to the lb. with his eyes. LOL

But I know he can count so the quantities are accurate.
Good work FFG

Yup, If he says 15 I say 14

when you catch as many fish as I do you get a good sense of the size in the water. But hey I believe its a right earned by all fishermen to exaggerate the size by a max of 10% nothing more.

It's always nice to get reports, but I can't help but agree with bananas.
I find the BEST fisherment are generally pretty humble.

A fishing report for mind readers like yourself wouldn't leave much to read for the rest of us. People tend to take things with a little grain of salt and enjoy what's left over.

Here we go again,, every time a guy does well we get the few SELF apppionted top rods around Sooke trying to nock them down. I get a chuckle how they let their jelousy show through lol. To me that looks worse than a guy stating the obvious, which is he catches a lot of fish and as such has the ability to tell quite closely the poundage. Really in the end who gives a rats azz about a pound or two, throw your ego in the fish box and just congratulate the guy. I say good on you young man and keep the pics coming.
