Becher Bay

Salmon fishing has been SLOW according to Cheanuh Marina. The best fishing has been near Whirl Bay where a 22 lb spring was caught this past week. Some small winter springs are moving into the bay and it should pick up soon between the breakwater and Fraser Island. Anchovies have provided the most consistent results and green glow teasers have produced the best. Good spoons have been Skinny G’s, Coho Killers and Coyotes with Gold//Silver the best producer.  Needlefish hootchies in White, Glow/Green and Purple Haze are the top choices in plastic baits. The GIBBS Highliner Guide Series Outfitters, the Bon Chovy, and Gold Fever Hot Spot flashers had been working well.

Oak Bay

Chinook fishing was SLOW in Oak Bay. The Gap and the Flats produced only a little action with mall springs. 3” AP Tackleworks spoons, Wee G’s and Skinny G’s have been good spoons for trollers. Squirts will also work with Jelly fish and Electric Chairs good bets. Jiggers do best fishing near Brodie Rock using Deep Stingers and Point Wilson Darts.

Pedder Bay

Salmon fishing has been SLOW at Pedder Bay. A few feeder sub legal springs have been caught close to the bottom in over 100 feet of water by Pedder Bay. Nothing over 5 lbs has been caught recently. Anchovies and herring are usually the best baits for salmon. Good choices for teaser head colors were Glow Chart, UV Green and Bloody Nose. Spoons have been very effective with Skinny G’s, Wee G’s and AP Tackleworks spoons catching fish. The smaller spoons have been working the best. Green and glow or green and silver have been the best color combinations.  Hootchies and squirts were working with Pink, Purple Haze or UV Green good color choices.  Flashers that are popular include the Guide Series Madi, Bon Chovy Green/Glow Hot Spots. There have been some large Dungeness crabs caught in the bay this past week

Sidney

Salmon fishing was SLOW this past week. We’ve haven’t heard of a single legal spring being caught this past week in the area. We did hear that there are under size springs around Fairfax Point. Suggested spoons are Coho Killers, Gibbs Skinny G and Wee G spoons and AP Tackleworks Sandlance spoons. Suggested colours are Cop Car and Trap Shack. Anchovies and are also good in Glow or Bloody Nose teaser heads. Prawning has also been slow.

Halibut fishing wasSLOW this past week.  Herring was the most popular bait, but bring lots, as there may be a lot of dogfish.

Sooke

Spring fishing was SLOW with hardly anyone fishing. We did hear of one 7 lb spring caught. Anchovies are usually the most effective bait. Good choices for teaser head colors are Bloody Nose, Chartreuse and Purple Haze. Spoons such as Skinny G’s, Wee G’s, Coho Killers and 4″ Coyote spoons have been good too. AP Tackleworks spoons have also worked in Lemon /Lime. If you are using hootchies or squirts, make sure it has glow white as one of the colours. Popular flasher color patterns have been with glow and moon jelly colours.

Victoria

Salmon fishing was SLOW this past week off Victoria. A few salmon have been caught off Constance Bank, but we wouldn’t call it hot. There re also some scattered fish off the waterfront in 120 – 150 feet of water. Very few salmon (if any) were being caught close in by the Harbour. Anchovies and herring have been the bait of choice for those trolling. Good choices for teaser head colors are Chartreuse, UV Green and Bloody Nose. Spoons had been working very well with Skinny G’s and Coho Killers in Irish Cream, Outfitters and the AP Tackleworks 3” Glow White or Neon Army Truck spoons good choices.
