Fished from 9:30-3 today for 1 25 lb red and 3 coho. The spring was out in the deep--350 ft of water midway between the head and the shack. We went down as far as PP but by then it was too gnarly so we went back to the Head with
the flood and lost a nice one to a broken hook.

Awsome, will do, il post back tomorrow night with the results! I was planning on running bait, gold betsey setup and silver betsey other side, whats everyones leader lengths lately? I have 5' wasnt sure if thats been working for people....cheers!!!
Last year was a banner year for me springs every trip but one and that was a Morning trip on a full moon the Sunday of the bite me derby. I had limit catches on most august trips without working too hard.
This year hasn't been too bad for me either but almost all my springs were hatcherys that's why I feel the American runs (springs and ho's) are saving the season... for me at least.

This has been my best spring fishing in the sooke area to date. I don't have much to compare it too but I know I put in my time last summer and was not finding them. The new boat and lots of new knowledge has been key. Confidence helps too. If your second guessing things all the time, switching gear, depths, etc, not gonna help. OR maybe I've picked up some tips watching Dylan @ Nice Fish JR. That kids rules!
We went out on Aug 7th with a Guide in the afternoon for a 4hr trip. 3 Adult and 2 Kids. The wind picked up and we were not sure how long we could stay out there, but we made it almost the 4hrs.
We caught 3 Spring (this one is white), 3 Hatchery Coho and one pink
On the way before heading in we had another 'big' one on line, but lost it due to our inexperience (Angler didn't keep the line tight )
By then we were the only boat out there and the boat moved heavy in the waves.
Was a great afternoon.
