    Safety Equipment and Docs

    I got stopped by the RCMP boat yesterday and they checked my safety equipment, boat registration, PCOC, etc. Good thing I had checked all that stuff not too long ago, so I had everything. They said most boats don’t have everything, and fines are heavy...

    Herring in the Gorge

    Has anyone had any luck catching herring in the Gorge this year? I tried the Craigflower bridge this afternoon and got nothing. I haven't seen many people out on the bridge this year. Nothin' says springtime like catching herring off the bridge...

    Fishing in the Fog.

    I'd be interested in hearing any advice about fishing in the fog. I tend to stay close to shore when it's foggy. I'm not worried about finding my way with either my GPS or my compass. I'm more worried about being hit by another bigger, faster boat that can't see my 16 footer. And during coho...
