Sooke Reports - Spring/Summer 09

[NorthStar]

Thanks. I am used to fishing in the Ocean where we troll at the depth of the bottom of the bait ball on the meter regardless of depth. I am trying to understand that fishery and read that they like structure. I guess bottom dragging is more of a winter/Blackmouth thing? Glad to hear that, now I wont plan on bringing a boat load of downrigger balls LOL. Thanks again!

Fished at Sherringham today from 6am to 9am, had a teenager on by 6 11am and the old man lost it at the side of the boat. Purple hot spot and jdf purple haze head, 61ft in 65ft of water. Landed a teenager around 830am, Betsey and bloody nose head, 8 ft leader same depth. Only 1 other boat there and didn't see anything else, had 1 other bite. Moved down and fished Possession from 930am to 12pm, landed a 10 lber off the front corner of Secretary at 10 20am, 66ft in 140 ft of water. Lots of crap in the water made for hard fishing, saw 2 fish caught in the bay on the west side of Possession. 1 was lost and 1 was giving a solo fisherman a hard time, that was at 11 35am.
