Seems like fishing is very hot off Sooke. Got off work early today and tried Otter for the first time this year. Started off slow with 2 shakers, but when the tide change came had a double header, was by myself so only was able to land one. Dropped the lines again and within five minutes had my second fish. One was a 28# and the other a 27#.

Nice job Riptide!!

You must have got off real early to be posting at 9:56 with 2 in the bucket.

Wolf, good to hear you nailed some coho. Decent sizes too!

This work thing is over rated. I need to get on the water!!!

Hunting season starts next week. Gonna put another dent in time on the water.

Didn't get to otter til 7:30 or thereabouts. Not much for me, shaker spring, 1 sockeye lost at the boat. Went down as far as Muir by 9:30 but it was too snotty there for my craft. Tacked back into the lee of Otter and fished between 2nd and 3rd rock until 3:30 when the easterly backed off. Then back to Cheanuh. Note to self, when making the trek to Otter, make sure the weatherman is not calling for an easterly.

Saturday Sept.2/06 Fished Otter from 6am till 9:30am. Released 1 small spring and managed to get a 20lb spring in the box.
Seemed pretty slow out there not much going on around us or on the radio.
80ft deep and Betsie/glow head.

Fished the trap for an hour 7-8,slowww! moved to Otter and managed 4 Springs to 23lbs, 1 sockeye from 820- 1130. Had to work for them but was very happy to get this group into some fish! Deep lines hit most at 79' and 84' with lots of purple haze teasers and Betsy flahers in Silver n Gold combos! Out again Tomorrow.

Fished Otter friday evening and got 20 and 15 lb springs
not much of a bite. talked to a few guys who were skunked!
saturday, pretty slow but we got a 14-1/2 spring and a
beautiful hatchery coho the same size.
we thought it was a foul hooked spring at first the way it jumped !
Saw some nice slabs from an early bite at otter

[wishingfishing]

Fished Possession from 7:30 - 11:00. Some guys did quite well right off the point. Picked up one about 18, only hit. Was a bit of a bite just as I started. Most guys picked up something.

 

[codfish]

Fished Muir and Ottter from 12-4 Muir was great picked up a 25 and a 33 within half an hour of each other the I talked with wolf who said otter was great but by the time we go there bite was over. No fishing for me tomorrow, my brother is getting married.
