Trip 22 guests were in high spirits when they arrived at the MV Salmon Seeker. The Boudreau Group fishing derby participants were eager to catch ‘The Big One’ but Mother Nature had other ideas as everyone was restricted to the Inlet with high winds but many Coho and Chinook were still caught despite the choppy seas.

Day three was a different matter as three new Captain’s Club members were added to the scrolls and many 29 lb. Chinook tipped the scales. Coho are everywhere, so a catch and release program was required.

Clint Capton is the winner of the coveted Oak Bay Clock award with his 38lb Chinook.
