Well got back from good old Sooke this weekend and as usual we enjoyed ourselves very much. As everyone is saying she is a little slow this summer but the fish are there if you work for them and pay attention to detail it definitely separates the boaters from the fishermen that’s for sure lolol. Anyways we did pretty good we came home with 9 nice Chinook not bad for 11 mornings of fishing nothing to big with 24# being the biggest and 10# being the smallest so we have our Salmon for the year now its smoking and canning time with a few saved for the Bar-B. The weather treated us great with only one morning of wind but the little “lake boat†(hey Wolf) handled it not bad.
Once again I would like to thank Wolf for all his help and info you are the man and thx for the loaner flasher buddy got us a couple for sure. And next year we are going to have to do the day trip with Yourself, Colin and Jim and I we just better bring lots oh pop for that one lololo. Anyways thx again Roy it was a blast.
And yah I also saw Gypseas out there one day and tact past reel addiction a few times so good to see some of the boys out there.
Here are just a couple pics from the trip.
And heres one for you Roy,, thx for the lucky hat bro..

Yah it is a tricky one I had to look very hard at it myself when we boated it but I can asure you the mouth was all Chinook. The DFO boys were actually at the cleaning table that day when I was cleaning it so all is well boys no worries. It especially looks like it in the pic I think mainly because of the way the sun light is hitting it.
P.S. I made that mistake once in my life and I let me tell you I make damn sure now before bonking one...

Its a spring if you say its a spring but from sitting here it looks like a Coho,8 years on commercial trollers tells me that it is a male coho also. But then again maybe I'm wrong. Either way.... nice fish.

Coho. Definitely. Square tail. Silver in it with no spotting. Hooked nose white gums. And if you want to get really technical count the rays throughout the anal fin. I have caught hundreds of these big northerns. To the untrained eye you could confuse it for a chinook for it's mere size.

Chinook for sure. The scale pattern is all wrong for a coho & it does have a lot of spots on its back. The poor lighting makes it hard to see the spots, but they are there. Check the pic of my up close coho. note the difference in the scale size.
