    Best smoker's

    I upgraded from the big chief smoker I’d been using for decades. I have the 4 rack non digital Bradley. I wish I had the digital for better temp control. I assumed the non digital would perform better at managing the temp than what it does. Next time, I’ll go digital.

    How are you setting up spoons?

    I don’t like using the swivel, I feel It alters the action of the spoon a little bit negatively. I won’t argue though, that the swivel does stop lost fish when they start what I refer to as “the crocodile roll”.

    Honda is crapping out

    My Honda 20 was doing exactly this. After much screwing around, I replaced the spark plugs even though they looked great. New plugs, ran like a champ after.

    Right rod to rocks/shore

    Also common at the Victoria waterfront with some guides. Most are good guys though and follow these guidelines of RR2S

    2003 honda 50 - fair price?

    I have a BF20 that’s a 2004. Ina marine offered 400 for a trade in but said I could sell it for 1000 in a private sale.

    Trolling Reels - Anything New?

    One world, one reel. Hardy Longstone. They’ll never win a beauty contest, but they are simple and tough as nails. ….and the sound… nothing sings like a Hardy with a smiley on the other end of the line. :)

    Trying to find sea run cutthroat trout in January

    These fish are followed by people who value them highly. I doubt anyone will tell you where to catch some this time of year, to eat. ;-) I caught hordes of searuns in the 1970’s. They were plentiful in those days and I ate a lot of them. I agree that they are very delicious, but I couldn’t...

    2022 Victoria and Oak Bay Reports

    I ran pink hootchies the other day for a spell, they have never let me down with coho, until a couple days ago. I switched to green spoons and it was game on.

    Best B.C. based fishing show

    Sport fishing on the fly. It’s not all about showing products from sponsors so much. I like Cooper’s shows, too. To be fair, I watch them all and they’re all fun to watch.

    2022 Victoria and Oak Bay Reports

    I saw a red and white float, a newer one, tangled in a kelp island a few days ago right off Macaulay point in pretty tight to shore. I was going to pull it when I went back to the launch but forgot. Could be anywhere now I reckon, unless somebody else pulled it. I’ve pulled a few before...

    SOLD Boat trailer for sale for 12-14 foot boat

    I have a Karavan boat trailer. She needs a bit of TLC. Wheels and springs. I believe it’s rated for 2100 pounds. I have purchased a new trailer so this one must go. The trailer is currently totally functional and even has brand new bearings. The wheels are rusty but they roll and work. 500...

    2022 Victoria and Oak Bay Reports

    It was bad yesterday with people going all over the place, there was no order to it at all. I saw one guy driving up on plane almost hit another boat trolling. I’ll bet it was within 15 feet. Right rod to shore keeps order. Be careful out there.

    Etiquette question: how close is too close off someone's stern?

    I can’t stand it when people drive through the pack of boats that are fishing at just the right speed to throw maximum wake. Extra idiot points if you tear into the middle of the fishing fleet, stop your boat and fight with your crappy kicker while setting up your gear to make sure everyone...

    Wanted - Old Yellow Peetz Rod in good condition

    It’s funny, 10 years ago you couldn’t give this old Peetz gear away. Now…. I use a 6 inch Peetz reel and the Peetz rod with pulley guides as a halibut setup.

    2022 Sooke Reports

    You know the old saying…. “The best time to go fishing is when you can”. And now with these ridiculous rules, we wait all year for August. Make hay while the sun shines.

    2022 Victoria and Oak Bay Reports

    Interesting. I was at the breakwater around 10:30 and saw no bite come on. Perhaps I was just unlucky but saw not one person play a fish today.

    2022 Victoria and Oak Bay Reports

    The Vic waterfront was not good today, for me at least. I had zero hits in a 6 hour shift and didn’t see one person playing a fish.
