Goalie...
Nope. I ride a red and white double eagle and was at Possesion this morning. Planned to fish there for the tide change before heading to Otter but never left. Been a while since I have fished Possesion but made the right call.
Good job on your fish!
Craven... Hit both fish at 55' on green chrome head. But have been getting fish at varying depths. Green chrome has been hot for me the last couple of weeks.
Hurston... Jocks is OK for a high tide with a small boat. Use Sunny Shores for other tides. It's 5 min extra. Only issue is parking. Getting busy there.
Maddog... Tried you on the VHF. No response.
Sounds like a good bite everywhere this morning. Interesting that Otter was on at the bottom of an Ebb.

was at cheanua first light, line up 10 boats deep. Went straight for sockeye out in the 500 line, only produced one for the whole day, lost about three 
, ok, troll into secretary in afternoon and switched to chovies for the afternoon bite. Not much fish but loved the sun. Trolled into the trap and hit a nice 20 lb spring right off the bat but lost it at the boat[V]. And i was not there in the morning because ....?? Argg, trolled down to head on the last pass before i pull up the gear, bam, both rods go off at the same time, thought I hit bottom or an underwater log. Turned out to be two 20 pound springs, got them both in and went home.
Ahh, life is good

went out this morning at 5:45 am and fished sooke for the first time. hanged around secretary. caught one nice spring and one 7lb sockeye. had lots of bites and lost 2. there were around 50 other boats and they were catching sockeyes and springs (biggest i saw netted was about a 25). i used the silver fever flasher with a chrome red teaser head, and of the fish i hooked were caught on that rig fished 73' on the downrigger. the other fishing rod didnt even get a bite and that one i was using a purple haze plaid flasher and a green glow teaser at 63'

Grew up and learned how to fish in sooke. Beachy Head and trap shack where our haunts. Used to love fishing for springs in the morning then rolling out 4-5 tide lines for the late morning early afternoon.
