Fishing off Sooke continues to produce some nice catches of Chinooks up to 30 pounds. Secretary Island and Otter Point seem to be the hot spots. The fish are being caught anywhere from 35 feet deep to close to the bottom. After spending time in the Queen Charlotte Islands the past week where fishing is not what it’s suppose to be as in slow. Sooke and Port Renfrew fishing is where it’s at. There are reports of lots of coho off Otter Point as well. Remember hatchery mark coho can be retained, and  ones with a fin have to be released. Same said for Port Renfrew — lots of coho heading down the straits as well. It’s nice see the abundance of coho showing up in our waters. Until next time.

Keep your rod tip up!
