Hello,
Watched the postings for awhile, and had a couple of questions that I thought would be worthwhile posting.
I was thinking about taking my family up to Sooke late this spring or summer, fishing for chinook or halibut, depending on when we go. We have a 15' Arima, which we fish in the Strait on this side (Neah Bay and Sekiu) through the summer. We would tow it across on the ferry and stay a week or so, fishing maybe a day or two.
Just wondering how far people run from the boat launch/marina in Sooke for halibut and chinook? My boat is a small boat, but is fine in the Strait on good days. If it's too far to run in exposed waters (more than 10 miles), we might do the charter boat thing, but that looks pricey.
Also, it looks like you've been having an incredibly winter chinook fishery this year. Does the good fishing generally last until the mature chinook show up in July, or is there a break where the feeders head offshore?
Thanks for the info in advance.
