Since the last update we landed a lot of Halibut a few over the 133cm mark that were released and a lot under the 133 mark that made it home to clients freezers for many future meals!.
Last week a good run of hatchery coho salmon arrived making for fun action and great eats (we can keep 1 hatchery coho per person) and the Pinks have arrived as well (4 pinks per person). The Chinooks remain steady and are increasing in size and make for great fun and wonderful catch and release opportunity for the pure sportsman out there.
Rockfish and Lingcod have not let us down either with great catches of both on almost every trip we made for them.
The main thing is lots of action for everyone in the boat.
Fingers crossed that the fog bank hanging out south of the shipping channel that has a 40kmh wind in it burns off this week so we can make it back out to the halibut holes and the better pink fishing areas without being tossed around. Thankfully we have The largest sport fisherman boat in Victoria lessening the impact of bad weather but even the big 330 Express is no fun in 40Knot winds against the tide!
There are still some days and 1/2 days left in July and a few left in August but not many. With any luck our good friends from the USA will be back after labour day making for a busy fall.
Thankfully all the wonderful Canadians from Alberta and the rest of the province are now allowed to visit Victoria and we welcome all of you with open arms!
Hope to see you on the water soon.
Captain King.
