Your welcome. It was my first time fishing that area. What a great place with lots of small reefs and such. I will be down there some more to learn it.
It was great day and cannot wait to go back.

Fished Conny today and managed a 7# and 11# on a mongoose coyote at 130 ft.. Saw a couple of other fish taken and lost to seals, but over all pretty slow.

I concur with that, we put in a 4 hour shift off the waterfront
and bagged one about 10 lbs.
That was the only hit we had on a "cricket" squirt fished deep
about 170' off the rigger.
the crabbing has been good [8D]

went out today from 11:30 to 15:00 (the warmest time 
Decided to waste 15$ in gas to go all the way to the sooke bluffs from Cheannuh.
only got one fish around 6 pounds. Hatchery spring. Watermelon spoon at around 115 ft.
Did some 'hand signals' to a couple of other boats, one got 2 one got none.

did you send the head in? I'd be very curious to hear what area these winter springs come from?
On that note has anybody sent in a hatchery winter from sooke and found out what system it was from?

I sent a head in on Sunday, so will report back with the data. Last time i sent a head in it came back no data. I talked to the creel guy and he said most are coming back saying Columbia river ?? If that's the case just another great job of salmon enhancement...

There are numerous hatcheries in the Puget sound area that produce
hundreds of thousands of returning salmon.
Most winter fish in our local waters are from these hatcheries.
I would hate to think how bleak the fishing would be if not for their
programs.

I used to send my heads in for clipped fish and many were Washington and Oregon fish. Caught them on both sides of the island up to north of Campbell River. I agree, if they didn't have such a good fishery it would be bleak around the south and central island particularly in the winter.
