I took a walk out on billing spit sunday and seen fish jumping all over.I'm guessing they aint biting to much.Was thinking of getting out the dinghy and seeing if any of these guys will bite.

Had to inform a few people of the change. Most didnt seem to care as I still havent seen the notice posted anywhere yet
 
I've not thrown any lines inside this year. .......and the change is?

All I see on the notice is Chinook non retention.

What ammendment have they made?

No trebles.... people are still ripping buzz bombs though.

I actually witnessed a 13 pound coho clipped being taken off billing spit last week! Almost got me excited to give it a try. Just so sad to see people snagging with buzz bombs. On a side note. The only 2 i saw caught that day both bit the hook! Green and white 4 ounce buzz bomb!

Good Luck!

Booked to take an out of town friend out in sooke on Sat.

Any recent reports? Highlights...saw in renfrew thread you've been out offshore Sooke...tips on what's the latest?
 
Still lots of coho out off S.I. and the bluffs, west to tin shed. Fished 350 to 500 feet tack, 70 to 120 down. Played over 20 coho, most 10-12 pounds, 1 went 16. Kept 5 hatchery from 6 to 9 lbs. Shakers still around but not as bad as 2 weeks ago.
 
awesome, thanks to you both!
Sounds like I can show my guest a good time out there.

I assume you're still using artificials, hootchies, spoons, etc? With that many bites, I doubt it's worth rolling anchovies.

Coyote spoons. #4-5 Stacked 30/60 70/100 with two more flat. No flashers. 3.5kts- 4.2kts We limited in hatchery Ho's smallest being 12lb. Biggest low twenties


I'm hitting Renfrew for those bigg'ns later next week.[:p]

***** smaller springs were taken early while we were hunting for the school. At first every rod had a differant offering. Hootchies and bait took those smaller fish. Once a descent school was located all gear was replaced with the spoons.

Heres a recap JS

Hope it helps:D
 
fast troll, spoons...check.

and wow, if 12 was smallest and biggest in low 20s, that's pretty great for Sooke! You must have very BIG hopes for Renfrew! Save some of that luck for the coho derby and you could bring home some dough.

:D
