    Howe Sound alternatives to chinook?

    Thanks for the vote of confidence...at least confidence in the boat ;). I was planning on venturing further afield this late spring if I see a good stretch of weather When regulations give you lemons...

    Howe Sound alternatives to chinook?

    I have a 22' alumaweld blackhawk 202 that I have been using in Howe Sound for the past 5 years. I've made one trip up to Desolation Sound but, aside from that, I've always stayed tucked in behind Bowen and up to Squamish. I commute almost daily in the boat between Gambier and Lions Bay...

    Howe Sound alternatives to chinook?

    I thought my words might come across that way, and was going to write a disclaimer. I do know the regulations and check for updates before I go out on the water hence why I wrote "without chinook as an option" but I do see I wrote "assuming Chinook is closed again??" so I can see how I might...

    Howe Sound alternatives to chinook?

    I've lived on Gambier Island for 4 years now and have had good luck prawning and crabbing. When the pinks run, I usually head out for a few trips to the mouths of various creeks and manage to bring a few fish home. Over the past few years I've picked a few calm days and tossed my manual...

    Transducer location question

    Finally about to install my new fishfinder (Elite 7 Ti2 HDI) and transducer. My boat is an Alumaweld Blackhawk so it has the extended transom (Alumadrive?). I've read lots of tips and tricks about transducer placement to avoid prop wash, about install height, about avoiding areas of...

    Hi Alex! I might be interested. Can you name your price on the 7Ti plus transducer? Is it new or used? My email is robcocquyt at gmail.com

    Time for a new fishfinder

    Thanks All!! I will definitely check out all the options suggested. Does anyone know if the Lowrance® Elite-7 Ti² 3 in 1 with Nav+ comes with a transducer? It says 3-in-1 ready, but no mention of transducer on the product info. There is a $400 rebate on the HDS 7, but I also can't tell if...

    Time for a new fishfinder

    Hi All. My 13-year-old Lowrance elite 5 finally kicked the bucket. Not sure if it is the transducer or the unit itself, but it only picks up depths 5% of the time. I'm ready for a new unit. I currently use my boat for prawning 90% of the time and fishing 10%. Now that I live on Gambier...

    Kayak Trolling on Kootenay Lake?

    Thanks, Dogbreath. Since I am a complete noob at freshwater, would I put the Apex behind a weight like a banana (maybe someone can chime in with a good weight size) and simply let out 100 foot of line paddling at a moderate speed? Close to shore? Middle of the lake? Does it help to be...

    Kayak Trolling on Kootenay Lake?

    Hi All, I just made a temporary move from the coast to Nelson, BC from September to July. I brought my Alumaweld Blackhawk and my fishing kayak with me. I was lucky enough to score a lakefront rental about 6 miles from Nelson towards Balfour. I have committed myself to paddling for an hour...
