July 29 Sooke Fishing Report
A fisherman from Washington caught a 50 pound salmon in Sooke today. WOW!In general, fishing around Sooke continues to be spotty. There's a good day here and there, and the fish are around, but you have to work for them. It has been very WINDY, keeping many anglers off the water.
Mark and Sharon Price report a good haul last week, 3 chinooks up to 28 lbs, and a halibut caught off Otter Point area. Monday, Mark and Neil (from Salty Towers) caught this 32 lb spring and his little brother.
Sockeye fishing is open in Sooke waters, max 4 per license per day.
Below is last week's report from the July 15 Sooke News Mirror:
