    Squid and Octopus Ethics

    I have heard of people catching these on occasion. I have also heard it mentioned occasionally that instead of keeping the whole thing for bait, you can cut off a tentacle to use. Is this ethical? I know the tentacles will grow back but is it fine to take one?

    New (Old) Lures

    I was recently given a bunch of new and used lures. I don't know what many of them are, or how to use them. So I am asking for help identifying, which ones are good, which maybe not so much etc. And please if anyone knows how to use the 'teardrop' lure of the smallish one that looks sort of like...

    Reel Problems

    I have a small baitcasting reel, that I really want to get working. It is in excellent condition, but it has a strange fault. Whenever you cast, the line in the reel instantly turns into a birdsnest. I am wondering if the line I am using is too heavy (10lbs). Should I go lighter?

    Esquimalt Lagoon and Witty's Lagoon

    Can you fish at either of these places? As a child, I went to both spots in the summer, not to fish but to play. At witty's I remember wading out into water 2' deep, and catching glimpses of large sculpin, 6-8" sole, and what may hae been surf perch. At esquimalt, there is this little stream...

    Best place to fish on the weekend

    Me and a couple buddies (Kadin if you are on this forum, Hi!) are thinking about going fishing this weekend. What is the most productive lake on Vancouver Island? How well are the carp biting at elk lake? I wouldn't mind a light tackle fight with a 10-15lb fish. Is corn the go to bait still?

    Lookout Lake

    While trout fishing a week ago, something nibbled my bait that felt way different than a trout or a perch. I was thinking that if there were bullhead in the lake, that this might be one. I then heard that there was indeed bullhead in lookout lake, up to around 2 lbs. How long have they been...

    Ogden Point/Breakwater

    I want to try fishing there, but I'm not positive my rod is strong enough. It is technically a freshwater rod, and it hyas a spinning reel. It is the rod and line I am worried about though as the reel is meant for saltwater as well as fresh. Is 10lb test strong enough?
