2025 Victoria and Oak Bay Reports

[A-a-Ron]

Out at Constance today, a few dogfish, maybe this guy had something to do with no halibut as they were doing trials, diving then resurfacing

Yeah I was out near Constance yesterday also, saw that too, pretty cool. I’ll use that as my excuse as well, only a couple dogfish for us.
We bonked a couple chickens (77/80) a little closer to Sooke area Tuesday, but couldn’t get the job done yesterday.

Got out this am and things were quiet with only a flounder and small cod. One of my pals needed to go in at noon so we dropped off and went back out. Within ten mins the rods were going off. A few nice scrappy wilds and 2 nice keeper hatchery. Biggest was 12 lbs.crab traps were loaded but mostly soft. Got a few. We also seen the sub as it moved around, also seen killer whales go by . What beauty day to be out.

Late post,

Left the launch at 8:30 dropped off two traps, headed out to the mud flats. Anticipation was high…….as it always is when you haven't fished in 6 months. I had 1 hit that didn’t stick, two cod, and several bait that were stolen, I assume by dogs because of the small twitch on the rod. Fished with herring. Packed up the halibut fishing at 2:30.

Back at the traps, 1 trap had 11, the other 4, but only 2 keepers.
