Oh yeah , burnt the candle both ends that’s forsure . Much different now apparently but those were great days. Edited above , still went home with lots of cash . That was just off my wage .

Seen a good handful in the charlottes , seemed like 1 - 2 a year would be brought to the dock or released . Many guys had trouble identifying them. I’ve never had the chance to catch one but my old man has a photo of a 18lber he retained off Langara in the 90’s.

Looking to do something different while working out of town in victoria . What is smallie fishing like this time of year at elk and beaver ? Spots , techniques ? I have only fished smallies on vaseux and osoyoos back in my youth . Fished allot of tubes back then.
we keep it pretty classic. On anchor we’re able to fish 1- 4 oz banana weights tied into the same leader setups i describe , all tide dependant . The chinook tend to hit from below so it really doesn’t make a difference . Most bites you get a slack line bite .
Should be either at thrasher or porlier for first light tomorrow , after today’s fishing and reports I’m not too sure where to start . Bit of a ghost town
