Went out to do some test fishing in and around Oak Bay just to see what shaking as Sooke has been good. The fish are around. Tried Ten Mile Point for about 2 Hours after ling cod fishing. Got 4 nice fish all in the 9-14 lbs 3 were hatchery and 1 wild, also had a huge pound and gone. Tried flats and got 3 more fish a bit smaller 8-10lbs but good spunky fish. 2 hours on flats, then was moving over to the Gap, but noticed a ton of bait and birds out Discovery way, dropped the lines high, pick up a couple under sized Lings, one I thought was a salmon as it was just under 62cm. Kept trolling Bam double header, One hit and gone the other stuck beauty 14lb hatchery released. Never got to the Gap as my time was up. But I am sure they were there as well.
