Another one from the water 🎣
This one came in from a weekend fisherman who normally relies on bait — but after putting the spoons to work, he says that might be changing.
The Limelight Bloody Anchovy absolutely produced, with multiple fish landed, released, and plenty more hits and losses throughout the day.
Then, for the final 15 minutes before heading in, he switched over to the Sooke Saltwater Special with a flasher he’d never paired it with before.
Two quick hits — including one released right at the boat.
What makes this report even cooler is how they were fishing: a 13' Zodiac, no downriggers, mooching with a slip weight while chasing fish offshore between Beechy and Trap.
He’s already planning to put the Sooke Saltwater Special back to work next time — and give the purple a shot too.
Thanks for sharing the report and the photos. This is exactly the kind of real-world feedback we love seeing.
Made by fishermen, not factories.
