Totally agree highlights. You can kid yourself as much as you want but at the end of the day we all fish to catch. Not all do catch to eat but that's everyone's own decision. Without the catch success you will see people dropping out or look somewhere else and that's when the economic down-spiral sets in. Also, you will lose every interest in salmon fishing by our future generation which prevents any near-future recovery of this particular sportfishing type in this area.

Nobody is saying there aren't fish out there. ( I've got a fish every trip out this year)) but you have to admit Roy, you have to work damn hard and put in some long hours between them most times. Bottom line it's quiet at this point.

Guides livelihood depends on customers who want to fish. A guide is not going to come on here and tell you the fishing is terrible. They might as well quit if they were to post that kind of information.
When they get fish, they post. When they don't they are pretty much silent.

Well call me different but I have told my clients fishing is slow but everyday is different I let them know fully whats going on as I like to be open and upfront with people they are paying for a adventure and the chance at "catching" a fish you have to remember alot of these people havent ever been fiishing they just want to be on our beutiful ocean and see seals and whales,eagles the whole thing!!!!! cant tell you how many times they burn up 40 pics of the seals and the scenery.
Well ive been skunked with clients only 2 times this year, ive been able to scrape up 1 or 2 fish since we were really able to fish june 18th, the season is really only less than 4 weeks old cmon guys give it a chance IT WILL GET BETTER ill take the 2 bits now, LOL LOL. And like chicken little said the sky is falling you and I know its not !!!!!!!!And you might as well say only about 2 and a bit weeks of fishig as the killer whales have hammered this area quite a few times and has effected it.
If you look back I have written "SLOW" on a few occasions al im saying is YES you have to work for them and maybe try a few new things "think outside the box".
YES I HAVE HAD to work hard to get them who ever said fishing is "EASY" LOL its called fishing not catch.
TRUST ME ill admit it has been a horrable start to the year thanks to DFO and it has all left a very bad taste in our mouths.
Go out enjoy the fact we can fish not with the mentality I have to fill the boat enjoy the time with your friends and family life is too short and before you know it people in your life pass and then you will be saying damn if we only spent more time out fishing with each other. do it now before its all gone.....GET out and fish quite being sooo damn negative

Totally foggust out there. Ran all the way to the light at Wiffin Spit at lunch. Didn't see the point till I was turning the corner. Radar run out and back today. Out from 6-12 and got 2 about 20#-22# about 8 am at Otter. Didn't see any other fish caught, but only about 5-6 boats there in the fog.

Had the opportunity on Tuesday to fly over the area in a friend's private plane from Sooke to Renfrew at about 4pm. It was very interesting to see things from that perspective.
I'm not completely certain what part of the cycle the tides were at, but it looked like things were on a major hard flood. Very interesting that I could see tons of green algae or plankton in the water at the tide line. The water went from bright green to blue about 1/2mi off shore and the line of crap in the water was visible from 2000ft up.
No bait balls or obvious surface activity around the area. At Sheringham onward, you could see some strong wave action still coming in from the Pacific which I'd guess is residual from the windstorm last weekend.
