Hey guys, I got Wolf's back.
The reason I went out with Wolf on Saturday.
The first time I went to Sooke, I went with a buddy last year(who's a damn good fisherman), we fished first light til 1600 without a bite. Earlier this year, I got lost in the fog for awhile (skunked again).
I've been reading Wolf's posts, thinking he was being pretty damn generous with advice for a guide who doesn't really need to be generous with advice.
I've learned a lot from Wolf's posts and learned a hell of a lot more from hiring him as a guide.
I know guys that guide with Wolf up Knight Inlet way. They all agree, Wolf is a hell of a good fisherman.
Next time I take my own boat down to Sooke, I'll sure feel a hell of a lot more confident about what I'm doing and won't get all skitterish and start panicking and changing tactics because it ain't working.
I split the charter with a buddy - $300 each. I landed the 35# and a 22#. I got 40# of fillets getting vacuum sealed at St. Jeans. My buddy got about the same. That's about $7 a pound - for a great day on the water with my son.
I don't know what your guys salmon runs per pound, but I know mine has been working out to a hell of a lot more than $7. With the amount I've spent the last couple of years (new motor, kicker, downriggers, every new lure made in the last 2 years), I could have probably chartered out with wolf a half dozen times a year, caught more fish, and still saved money.
