2025 Victoria and Oak Bay Reports

[N2013]

A little calmer today, so we got out fishing for Coho just out from Church Rock. Fished 8 to 11 and the only action we had was from 9 to 10.
Kept two clipped and two wild Coho and let go 3 more wild. Fish were caught at 75 ft on the DR, in 400ft of water and using green Alligator squirt hootchies. For some reason white never got a bite..
Pulled the crab trap and got 5 Dungeness and 3 red rock. Lots of females too.

That old boot up top has been up and down the fresh somewhere. Cool.

I agree, it was the first fish of the day and clipped. It also had a good size set of teeth too.

Fished today 8 to 1130, just out from Church Rock (400ft) and the sane location as yesterday. Not a coho bite at any depth but shakers everywhere. Moved out to 550 ft and had some action.

550 ft of water, 75 ft on the dr and using alligator squirts. Ended up with 2 clipped, 2 wild and let go one wild. All the fish were smaller than yesterday and only five Coho all day.

Got 7 crabs today, but there were lots of females, which made the traps (2) hard to pull up from 70 ft .
