    2023 Victoria and Oak Bay Reports

    Had the same on Friday. No nibble, no bite. Four in a row came up with no head or bones. Sent a fifth one down scratching my head. Was just about to reel up and check after 20 minutes and Wham!…a 30 lber hit.

    2022 Vancouver-Howe Sound-Sechelt Reports Thread

    1030 Sandheads. 480 feet of water. Got a 10 lber on bait. Same rod hit, lost fish on 2nd run by boat. Orcas everywhere, northbound. They must have pushed fish up as other boats playing as well. Quiet now for 15 minutes…. maybe for a while.

    Best Cellphone reception

    Thanks for your input. Although that's well outside the areas where I usually fish, I do hope to make it there one day. I sure hope more Bell user's chime in.

    Best Cellphone reception

    Hello All, I did a search and found nothing recent. I reside in Vancouver and looking at switching phone plans. I'm looking for experiences with the different providers and see if there's any issues with getting reception while fishing along the Georgia Strait, the Gulf Islands and all the way...

    Discovery Bay Pot Hauler

    Hi CD. Yes, Ive used one for 5 years. I've tried the Scotty and the the Ace, but found them to still be an issue with a fast going current. I figured if the US Navy uses it, it's gotta be good. Never had an issue with this, never blown a fuse. Advantage is also being able to grab traps at waist...

    Mounts for diy tower build

    Hey All, I was gonna build my own tower 3-4 years ago but ended up getting fourfootitis and the new boat had rocket launchers. Made out of aluminum and allows one to fold the arch down for storage. Inside diameter is 1 15/16". I bought these from the US and paid over $100 US. If anyone could use...

    New outboard - extra 2 year warranty worth it

    I have the same 250 hp motor along with a 9.9 purchased in 2015. The 250 has been problem free but the 9.9 trim tilt had to be replaced last year ($800), the idle was too high and had to be adjusted and this year, the 9.9 would not go into reverse. Chose the 5 year warranty and all is good. Not...

    Vainer park boat launch

    West ramp. No barricades... looks open. Pic taken apt 2:15. Guessing tide is at 3 feet. Didn't have boat with me. Stood at the end of the dock and stuck a 6 foot stick in the water, about 4 1/2 feet got wet. Thinking it's launchable at a 3 foot tide now, maybe even less.... perhaps wishful...

    airmar 1k transducer

    I'm not sure what head unit you are running but I just got back from Harbour Chandler and the kind lady behind the counter informed me that the issues they have had particularly with the Lowrance 12 Gen 2 series was that the 1KW transducer kept blowing a diode or something. Apparently a guide...
