Shane Day reeled in and brought back to the dock the largest Chinook to hit the dock this
season. Weighing in at 39 lbs. this big fish was caught in Browns's Bay on Friday afternoon with the expert assistance of Doug Taylor.
The dock has been getting lots of September Sockeye and the Chinooks are beginning to reapear. The weather of course is cooling down but mother nature has been kind enough to hold off the rain.

You wouldn’t really think that there are very many benefits to getting up at 5:00 am and being at work before the sun is even awake, but that is exactly what the benefit is. I came in at 6:00 am the other morning to help send a group out fishing. I was very tired and not really awake yet until I walked over to the Marine Centre and saw the sun rising. I walked right back to my office to grab my camera and spent the next 20 min ignoring the fact that I was so tired and took about a hundred photos. These are my favorites…
I know that when you’re here on vacation and most people don’t want to wake up at 6:00am unless it’s to fish, but I highly recommend you pull yourself out of bed just long enough to witness the beautiful sunrise.

Regular visitors to OBMG websites will have noticed an addition to the resort pages...Pedder Bay RV Resort & Marina in Metchosin, 35 minutes from Victoria. Last summer, OBMG opened a brand new, 78 site RV park to compliment the full-service marina and boat rentals. This year, we added a Coffee House to make the Resort & Marina a hotspot for RVers, campers, anglers and boaters.
Shaw TV (the local cable company) visited the resort last week to shoot a short video on the property. Have a look and we hope to see you soon at Pedder Bay!

Congratulations to Malcolm Pye hoisting two of the three Chinook he caught at Painter's Lodge earlier this summer. These beauties where the first Chinook he ever caught. A special thanks to his dad Jamie for taking this great photo. We hope to see you out on the water again soon.
