Winter Reports Sooke and Victoria 2008/2009

[scott craven]

I was tempted to try it this a.m., still looks ok..
but the forecast is for stronger wind picking up.
I don't know anybody who's been out this week [?]

Poor lonely salmon...swimming around down there wondering where all those colourful tasty looking creatures have disappeared to.



Ah well, the weather will warm up soon enough...I hope to get some fishing in over the holidays.

Driving by the waterfront today and I saw a single boat fishing off Clover Point. Looked fairly calm out there.

 

[Last Chance]

Yep, that was us, I had an engine quit on me, so I stuck by the shore. We got a few, weather was great, fishing was fair, and the two inches of ice at West Bay Marina was a little dicey to get in and out of with a single motor! Spoons and strip.

Fuel pump wouldn't spin up. I think it was actually my fault, I wasn't paying attention to the water seperators in my boat, one tank took a gulp of water and I was used to draining the seperator regulaliry. Well, when I got to the boat, instead of being able to drain it (the Racor), it was frozen solid. After I got the damn thing off, and got antoher one on, the motor chuffed and farted for a few mins, and then was dead. I think some ice got in the pump. Just a kick in my arse for being lazy off season.

[Tips Up]

Went out for some winters yesteday (Saturday)
Here are some pics of Cheanuh. You would not have wanted to use the launch.

After warming up the boat we had to poor salt water on the tie downs before we could get off the dock. Ropes were frozen solid.

Once we got off the dock it was nice on the water. Fishing was good but fish were small. Boated 5, lost 3.

Good times!

Tips

At least you got the important thing....the fish....lol, and you didn't fall over board. So I take it your not coming by to shovel my driveway. I sure wish I would have gotten a plow for the quad.

 

[Tips Up]

Jack - No shoveling for me. Father inlaw has a new snow blower. (maybe that should be your next toy??) I may never shovel again! There was a plow on used Victoria. Shawnigan area. Probably gone by now.
Minor set back. I still have lots of ribs that aren't fractured. I'll be good to go fishing next weekend.

Gerry- I wouldn't be towing a boat out there. Roads were pretty slippery. Not worth risking the truck and the boat.

Graham it gives you a week and a bit before skiing, that might be fun

Went out of Breakwater for 2 hours this morning. Managed to pick up a nice 7 pound winter using the trusty Buzz Bomb. Spend hords of $ on lures but that old B/B always comes through.

 

[Gypseas]

Out on the water around noon. Dropped the lines just in the front of Secretary, fish on right away. Glow seems to be the ticket these days.
That looked promising but that was it for couple of hours when the wind picked up and got too sloppy for my liking LOL

cheers

JUST FISHEN'
