Sooke is a great place for anglers of all ages with or without experience. Also the ocean doesn't have the big swells like in open waters so you'll be less likely to get sea sick.

Don’t forget sunscreen and a hat. Prepare for a good time. Don’t forget it’s fishing, and not catching. Some days you get lucky, other days you gotta put in the work and it still might not come together.

Lots of fish and quickly had our limit of chinook salmon. The fishing area can be crowded with other boats so expect some congestion in the fishing ground.
