They are still a few mature Chinook passing by Sooke. Sunday out with the family, hit 2 springs in successive passes, 520’ water – 115’ on the rigger. Son happy to land both, first was a darker hatchery and an acrobat, managed a couple of nice leaps off the back of the boat. The second spring was larger, less dark and did a couple of nice runs both were mature males. Finished off with an additional limit of hatchery Coho and found fewer wilds in the mix. Hoochies were the lure of choice
All and all it was a peaceful, calm day, with the exception of an irate fisher screaming at the whale watchers, as they passed too close.
Wow SS!!
Springs in 520' of water!!
Your post is the record for the deepest water I have seen anyone put up about catching Chinook I have seen on this forum in 3 years of reading. Did you expect these fish waay out there or were you just coho fishing and along came these two migrants, presumably out of nowhere??
