2025 Victoria and Oak Bay Reports

[kaelc]

What's wrong with Red Rocks? When they're a decent size they have quite a bit of meat on them and they are tasty.

It’s the work to weight ratio, I do love the big claws on some and the taste but dungees are so much easier to open.

I was almost crazy enough to run all the way out from Steveston today, conditions look good but cooler heads prevailed lol. It’s a long run to reel up a bunch of dogfish. Didn’t even realize Hali was still open… Kinda mismanaged this year with the size limit and TAC not reached but what are ya gonna do

If you stay a night at the oak bay beach hotel or poets cove it would be worth it for the warm pool and hot and drop the crab prawn traps on the way for a soak. Wish it was like the old days when you could bank on limits or a couple Hali. They are out there but not as easy as it used to be.

Agree with Scott, today was awesome. 3 springs kept, up to 11lbs. 5 fish released. All caught on the waterfront on the bottom, 140 to 180 ft of water. This week has been on fire. Happy new year to all.
