Off the water with our limit and home before the wife got up!!!

Now to convince the wife it doesn’t count as a fishing day!

Went out yesterday evening for the high flood. Only saw one OK Chinook taken in the P0ssession Point/Secretary area. For us, nothing but Pinks, a released small Chinook and a released small Sockeye inside. I assume the Sockeye run that is known to follow close to shore inside, rather than way out in the strait has a few going through, I forget which run it is. Back at the dock someone had a nice evening gold 30 lb Chinook that reportedly was caught close off a wall somewhere east of Secretary towards Trap Shack. On the plus side we had 16 keeper crabs in just one old commercial crab trap. I guess filling it up with a large frozen Halibut head and frame, and leaving it down for almost a week is the ticket.

Was fishing at Otter Point last night from 5pm to 8 pm. At about 6pm there was a pink salmon frenzy going on at 3rd rock. Seems everyone got them beside me. Didn't really see any Chinooks being caught. In total I released a small shaker, a little ling and got 3 pin popper that didn't stick.

Morning bite was great for us at the head. 23.5 and 14.7 were the keepers. Derby winner as well! Bait up top for us was the charm.

Slower for springs today. 12lb kept. Lost 2 others. Did not see many springs caught. A lot more pinks around today than yesterday.
I fished the sooke salmon enhancement derby with my uncle and son all weekend. Great weather, great memories and a fun derby.
Thanks to those involved!
