Just wondering........how do all you guys run your bait down there in Sooke......one treble etc. in the side and that's it.....or.......do you hang a stinger off the back end as well for the short-biters?
There's a good video on youtube shows how a guy runs a hook out right through the tail on a cutplug to get the shorties... even cuts the tailfin mostly off to get abetter roll....
I imagine this could be adapted very easily to a bait in a head.......using a treble in the side and a stinger outback......

Hey guys... My son is Zach has been glued to this forum all the time and I just wanted to say thanks for all the advice he gets off of here. He also plays high level baseball and when the season finally ended, we had to get out a few days before school started up.We recently sold our little hardtop Lifetimer, and were just out this weekend in Andy's Lucky Rentals boat and had a nice weekend.
Profisher that must have been you talking to my son at the cleaning station. It's nice of the guys who've been around for awhile to say a few kind words to the kids who like fishing.
He's been a fishing nut since he was about 3 years old and he's now 15. I actually never owned a rod before he was born. He has me hooked now and we've spent many 100's of hours on the lakes, and rivers. He listens well and we caught and landed 4 springs on Monday and 2 on Tuesday. We also released a few wild coho. The highlight was the last fish at around 4pm, a 28-pound spring
Here's a couple of pics from over the years. The one with Roy was in '06 when he was 9. The other pic was in '03 when he was 6, standing next to a 26 lber.
Thanks to all you guys for the generous info.
Ken.

Saw you guys out there. Well done. Better then we did. My dad got me into fishing. But he was very select in the fishing he did. Now Ive got him using a fly rod and fishing for trout from a boat.

Fantastic hot calm day again today so was forced to go out again. 
Just me and my better half for a relaxing day on the water. Started late at 10:30 am and stayed round Possession, the Bluffs and Secretary till 5:00pm. Got a couple of hatchery coho in the regular chinook spots close in. One on anchovy and one on army truck hootch. Got a few more hits all at 80-90 feet, some of which were contacted but got off. Were probably all coho.
Later in the afternoon went waay out to 400 water but only got wild coho out there so came home. Wilds out in the deep, hatchery fish close in...go figure!!

Seafever,
Saw your earlier post and meant to reply. I put a single treble in the side but close to the tail. Judging from what I have observed of the other forum members I have fished with to date, most guys on here do that. However, one guy ran a stinger and one guy ran two trebles but he was using 8 pack anchovies (the BIG bait), so that makes sense in that case.
No doubt other forum member will jump in on this but topic deserves a new thread to keep this one for fish reports......
