oh good, not just me...I only saw 3 or 4 small ones caught, hit Secretary hard and trap shack...not a sniff...went to look for pinks and coho, and only had a brief hit on the surface while my released line was coming up. I figured the fact that boats were so spread out said it was slow out there. Waste of a nice day out on the water!
Awful fishing out there yesterday (Sat). Trolled Bechey-Secretary and everywhere in Between. Even worked the bluffs for awhile. One pink to show for it and did not see a single spring hooked. Are they gone already? Was like fishing a dessert. Saw a few on the sonar but not biting. At least the weather cooperated.

Nice and flat out there today, 1 Spring and 15 pinks in the box for us, pretty slow for Springs in general. Seems the further west one goes, the better it gets. Fuel up and run to Sombrio until the big floods hit i guess??? Some guys ran to the waterfront from Pedder today searching hard.Uci is Stacked with fish in the ditch out front, i am fathful that it has yet to turn on heavy[

The Pilchards were incredible today, never seen the schools so thick, at times the sounder signal would not read the bottom through the schools and the deapth would read 30ft! We managed three nice springs in the mid 20lb. range and a 10lb. hatchery Coho.. a fun day out on the water.

Pilchards aka sardines are related to herring. They have a few big spots and are less silvery more goldish. There used to be a number of big reduction plants on the coast that would boil them down into feed/fertilizer until they were nearly wiped out. Apparently they are making a great comeback (40 years later). Saw some 10 inch ones in the bellies of our offshore Ukee fish.
Is it time to try the 7 inch plugs in Sooke?
