April 4 Seawind Fishing Report

Steve@SeaWindfishing.com (Seawind Fishing Charters) — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 07:31:00 +0000

We had some fun early season salmon fishing in Sooke today. In just a few hours out, we landed 4 nice springs, with the biggest a 25lb beauty. Unfortunately it was wild, with only hatchery spring salmon allowed for retention, so we had to release it. The next three caught were 20lbs 13lbs and 8lbs. A great few hours of fishing all on anchovy, at 100 foot depth off the Trap Shack. We saw a couple of others around 20 pounds caught as well.

A few more weeks of Sooke salmon fishing, then we'll be heading up to Port Renfrew for another season. Looking forward to some fun fishing adventures this summer! Hope to see you in Port Renfrew.

Tight lines!

Thanks for a good day's fishing

A nice thank you from Alan Yee for some fun Port Renfrew fishing.

Thank-you for your patience and understanding. Always, look forward to the Aug. trip with you and Seawind Fishing.

I have always appreciated your professional skill, knowledge, personal care and extraordinary efforts extended on your Charters all these years. I know there is quite a lot of time and a multitude of considerate work/effort, that goes on before/after each season, as well as the daily operational work involved for each/every Charter. Personally, it has not gone unnoticed. I sincerely appreciate Seawind Fishing, Tammy and you, Steve, for always providing such exemplary care and service yearly, to the my friends and myself, whenever we are fishing onboard "The Optimist".

Best Fishes to all of you for a most Safe and Prosperous upcoming Fishing Season 2010.

Warm Regards, Alan

August Swiftsure Bank Fishing Trip

Steve@SeaWindfishing.com (Seawind Fishing Charters) — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 06:06:00 +0000

A successful Swiftsure Bank fishing trip with Gerry, Kevin, Trevor and Gord.

Gord says: "Hi Steve, we just wanted to pass on our thanks for a most excellent fishing adventure last Sunday. Have not had a day of fishing like that in a long long time. We all appreciate the extra effort you put in (especially Kevin) to get us that last big one to make the day a perfect limit catch of Big Springs and Halibut. I have attached some photos of the day (hopefully they all make it), and although we may not be all smiling on the outside (pretty tired) we were all extremely happy with the day of fishing you provided. As, well please pass on to Cody a big thank you from all of us for the bait, cleaning up after us and all the help he gave us on the docks. We are looking forward to doing it all over again next year, Cheers."

That's a great day's fishing on the south-west coast of Vancouver Island!

June, 9, 2009 Port Renfrew

Steve@SeaWindfishing.com (Seawind Fishing Charters) — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 03:41:00 +0000

Fishing was great. On a day when other boats were getting skunked, Steve had the skills and knowledge to fill our boat with a limit of Hali's and 3 good size Spring Salmon. The sirius radio, breaching humpbacks, porpoises, and the crab feast were superb bonuses on an already memorable day. It was comforting to have the "Optimist" in the rougher water. I would highly recommend Steve and plan to be in his boat again in the future.
