Group of Washingtonians coming up to Vancouver Island for the first time. This charter was the perfect way to end the trip, as we were treated to an easy, enjoyable, and epic adventure around Sooke Bay with Captain Josh. Going for all things salmon, he got us on some beautiful wild Chinooks in the first thirty minutes before we reeled in our third fish, and first keeper. Once the bite slowed, Capt Josh immediately kept the momentum up by trolling us faster and shallower to see the Coho bite. It was a slow but consistent bite, with some small Chinook shakers and Native Coho going back before we got a nice keeper Coho. On the way back in to the bay we also got a nice pink #bonus! Into the smoker sheโll go. Finally, the crab pots only yielded one male, but such does it go these days. Overall, even beyond the satisfactory performance of fishing Capt Josh yielded, he was a pleasure to be with and was a helpful guide who let us get to see what this island is all about!
