Sooke Reports - Spring and Summer 2012

- Start date
I forgot to mention my name GDW is short for "God Damn Wind". I find myself saying that a lot when trying to plan a fishing trip on the sourh island - especially for Hali this past spring. I work full time and have a smaller boat so I had to find a weekend day with good hali tides, minimal wind AND not have other family commitments.
I Managed to get out a few times but just as often prime days were cancelled due to wind predictions.

Got out today with a hatchery buddy and his family and had a great day. Boated 4 springs up to 22lbs and 2 hatchery coho. We must of had hatchery karma, the 4 springs we boated were all hatchery as well. It was a bit windy, but fishable. We lost some and lots of short biters.
Out in the AM and lets see what tomorrow brings for wind and fish

Out today the weather was much better and fishing for us was not as good as the day before. A lot of short bites and then gone. A lot more coho around today, we got 3 hatchery coho and another hatchery spring around 22lbs. It is just great to get out there and fish.

Well got to start by saying Fishflys luck may have rubbed off on me as we started the day yesterday with a double header of coho and both were hatchery.....LOL thanks bud still waiting for my 2 bits though LOL
As for springs chipped away at it and managed to get 4 high and low teens before the winds picked up again.
Then notice the engine running a little rough so pulled a few plugs back at dock oh no a a bit of water so already know what that means time for new manifolds got 1 side on already just need a gasket for the other side as I already had the manifolds on hand ready to go was trying to get another season out of the old ones no luck..... ....sat on the boat drinking beer and eating pizza on a nice sunny evening kinda goes with working on engines LOL LOL
