Oak Bay - Vancouver Island - September 12th, 2004

FISHING: Good
Salmon fishing has IMPROVED in Oak Bay. We’ve heard reports of some very big springs being caught on the Flats between Discovery Island and Brodie Rock. Anchovy has been the most productive bait for trolling. The best patterns for hootchies and squirts have been Green & White, the Jellyfish and the J79. If you want to troll spoons, use Coyotes, Titans, Devil Tails or Gibbs Gators in Green/Silver or Blue/Silver. Troll about 10-20 feet off of the bottom for best results. The 40 and 60 gram Gibbs Minnows or Stingers have been the best jigging lures. HALIBUT – Halibut fishing was SLOW off Oak Bay last week. Extra Large Herring combined with Octopus and fished off of a spreader bar with a 2 lb weight was the best set up for the big flatfish.
