Nice video Brandon.

Can't wait till this Aug. have our rooms booked already.

We are headed to Sooke again this year, as much as I love the west side and Ukee the wife doesn't much care for it there. As well the son and daughter inlaw and grandkids are coming so there is a lot more to see and do on this side. I generally have pretty decent luck around Sooke, been on those waters going on 12 years now so I know them well.

We are booked in from Aug 10 - 18 I believe, catch the big floods.

Fishing Sooke is a little different than fishing the outside as the fish, the Chinook in particular come through in waves and not big waves like the outside, the are smaller schools of fish. The big flood tides wash in the bait, the fish follow the bait. If a guy lived there one would be able to get in the schools as they come in in between the big floods but as I don't I use every bit of advantage as I can. As you can attest to it's not a cheap trip out there one has to make it count as much as possible. An big tides wowzers if you've never been to Sooke then yah you've never seen tides, they can rip along only place I've seen with heavier tides is Campbell River through the straights there it can be crazy. You can't fish cur plug in Sooke as the tides are too strong they will just tear the herring to bits. But it's no biggy it's just part of the game.
