SOOKE AREA FISHING REPORT

January 2, 2007

Local fishermen have been reporting a slight slow down in the frequency of winter Spring Salmon hits over the last week, possibly due to ebbing tides in the morning. Wednesday Dec 27th, I was fishing with Luke and Lauren from 10:45am to 3pm, from the Harbour mouth to the Trailer Park. We were trolling green and white hootchies and green,white and yellow hootchies at 120 to 135ft in 140ft of water. We played 4 or 5 fish releasing one small fish, and landing a nice 9lb'er off the Harbour mouth in 128ft of water. We watched five other boats in the area picking up Springs as well. Good day fishing.
