Sooke Report -- 2008 season

[Tailspin]

Crabbing was decent 3 7" dungees in each, not the usual 5 or 6 like last the end of August. That was what was left of the chicken backs and a salmon head![]

Was out Saturday from 0700-1300. Spent most of my time between the Head and the Trap Shack 200 ft of shore. Several shakers and one 14 lb coho released. Most at 55 ft on a pink/white squirt. This is the worst year I have seen in 25 years fishing the area.

Well i was talking with a buddy about how fishing was for him this year . A very nice lady butts into are convo . I was shocked at what she said! Her and her husband got a 30 lb and 35lb off beachy! bull$#!t or not i was in shock. Are they just comming in late and we`re missing them ? how much fishing pressure is there really out there that can say this is a lie or not? i dunno !!! any other ideas or opinions?

tight lines

 

[Fins -n- Skins]

Rumour has it that some big chrome has moved into local streams. Lets hope they are late.

Tournament Proven !

There are some around for sure. An HONEST fellow worker of mine pulled in a 29#,and a 36# of the Head Tuesday morning. We have so many doubters/jealous ones these days that the guy brought in the heads the next day and placed them on the lunchroom table during morning coffee. The look on the faces of the non-believers...priceless.

Springs or Halibut ??? and where were you fishing??
