Sidney/Satellite Channel

[Bodie]

Any reports of decent fishing in this area right now? We were going to run our boat from Sidney around to Victoria/Sooke area this weekend, but now the forecast is for storm conditions all weekend. We're now thinking of trying some of the old "hotspots" in the Sidney area: Coal Island, Arbutus Island, Wain Rock, Separation Point. I did hear of a 17# Salmon caught at Arbutus Island last weekend...I just spent the last few days feverishly trying to get our new boat ready to fish, and now the weather turns

Might be able to pick up a coho - clipped only for retention.

Looked at the weather myself and I think I'll be ashore.

Yeah, I know about the chinook non-retention, I was asking if there was any other action, ie: coho. How about the Pender Bluffs? It's always been known as a good spot for pinks and sometimes sockeye, so do coho run through there too? I guess I'm just looking for somewhere to fish...
