Howdy,
Out Sat am at the Head. Fished through the tide-change @ 9:45. Saw one small salmon caught - size of my shoe - and nothing else. Guy back at the marina said the 'bite' came on and that they saw several fish caught. Guess I was in the 'wrong-place' again. Did manage to sacrifice another whack of tackle to the 'reef-Gods'.
Been away from this for too long; haven't found my stride yet I guess.
Cheers,
Terry

Fished Secretary on Sat from 6 am to 2 pm, saw several fish caught between 8 am and 12 pm on the east side of Possesion. Hit a 25 pounder at 10 am, Betsy, green chrome head, 6.5ft leader, 81 ft. Managed a 23 pounder at 10 15 am, same combo and depth.
Fished Secretary on Sun from 7 am to 12 pm, foggy but flat. Hit a 21 pounder right away and saw one other caught shortly after. Green haze flasher, white glow head, 6 ft leader, 70 ft. Lost a good one off the point at Secretary at 9 am,played fish for a while and got broken off, first time in years. Saw very few fish being caught today compared to Sat, 3 fish in the 30's weighed in over the weekend at the marina, far from hot but better than its been lately.
Back out tomorrow, weather looks to nice to pass up, any reports on Otter or Muir?

Was just out this after noon (Sunday), 12:00 - 6:00pm.
We started at Muir for about 2 hrs, nothing ! notta ! 4 rods down, not one hit !! pretty discouraged so we hit Otter for some flood tide action.. several boat there.. did not see one net out there for about 2 hrs.. got outta there and headed to Possession... 30 min. there we had a pin popper right in front of possession, big spring on for about 15 sec. before it shook the hook !! Ughghgh.! Saw no one else with fish on while we were there.. we did managed to scrape up a 25lb. halibut on the salmon gear by the Possession reef.. a little bonus.. at least some thing fresh for dinner. Over all.. very very discouraging for Spring fishing in Sooke considering it is Aug !! looking back on previous years fish stats I keep... this year is the worst on record !! where are the fish !!??
Yesterday I was up fishing up at Renfrew, fished Logan first light.. a zoo of boats every where... we managed to land a double header two 28'lbers.. other than that.. no other hits all day long.. with the amount of boats that were there.. only say a few other boats land fish.. back at the Marina the fish stat. girl was there.. under 12 springs had come in.. ! OUCH !! very disappointing and discouraging to see..

i fished in that fog from 7am till almost 2pm at possesion, not one hit, and did not see but one fish landed(hard to see much in that fog), the fog lifted for about a half hour so decided to head out , got in about 250ft of water and hit something, followed up with a nice 11lb spring and more hit, all down deep 120ft
the chatter on the radio made the trap shack sound like it was on fire, heard of a couple over 40 there

Dohboy: you didn't miss much at the trap today.... we trolled almost 7 hours at the trap this morning and didn't get a single strike.

Hey, that's great, was this the weekend that your son was visiting and if so please tell me that you let him bring those fish in. Can not believe I 'll be back in the action by the end of the week. Hope you got room in your boat for an extra person, should be able to play by sun if everything goes well with preparing my boat for launch Fri and Sat.

Hey Roy, nice fish.. today sounds a little better than yesterday out there.. any sort of bite going on or was it just the odd one here and there scratch all day long that you saw? You get it on the Morning ebb or after noon flood? At least you got one.. though we should be limiting out this time of year like we always do in previous years.. its still slow by the looks of things..... hope it picks up in the weeks to come.. keep up the reports..
