    Pirate has always been a favourite. Used to start mid June for springs before the libs got the hate on for all things boating. If you approach running down from Epsom to the south and cut through between Bertha Island and Thormanby look for seals, if the are thick just before the entrance or...

    Motoring from Tofino to Tahsis

    My advice do it! Take all precautions as suggested. Reading this bought me back to our July 1993 circumnavigation of Vancouver Island (We still enjoy use of the same 1991 Doral 25.5 Sunbridge, even towed it down to Cabo and did the sea of Cortez) I reread the 1993 logbook and what stood out...

    Howe Sound halibut

    Back when we could fish more than a couple of months a year I worked a lot more hours than I do now on the Epsom flats, drop off's and canyons seeking salmon bottom bumping. It is mainly sand (and lost traps) off Epsom. Every year up to 2019 or so we would encounter a Hali. I say encounter...

    Crabbing fundamentals

    I make my own holders with stainless hog rings and plastics dog fence, fill them with every part left after cleaning salmon. Put a zap strap on the bottom so it freezes in place ready to attach to the bottom of a weighted trap, put in a bag and freeze until ready to set. Sunshine coast crab...

    Sadly we lost Jerry Mercer in March, the family is still doing a fantastic job of looking alter all of us locals and... the summer influx.
