2025 Sooke Reports

[zfish]

I was there and saw the aftermath after the kayak was upside down. I thought he flipped it himself at first but learned what happened as I passed them. It looked like he was offered a rod and reel but turned it down. With all the small fish to deal with constantly it is easy to get busy and not notice the wind is pushing you off course or that a boat is running you down.

I lost an Islander MR3 and a shortish trolling rod that works with my paddle reach, I was offered a spinning set up.
Also I might add that I was quite tight in, fishing in the shallower water, out of the main trolling area where Rollie passed by, but I was already on the aluminum by that time.
My attention was focused to windward, and on getting my gear back in the water. It was a challenging morning. I looked over my shoulder to see the bow of a 27 footer right there, everything went from slow to fast in a blink of an eye, made two paddle strokes my stern and rudder hung up on the aluminum's bow, then I was in the water.

Was it foggy out?
