    Does anyone know how the seals know I have a fish on? Do they hear the reel? The fish struggling? Or smell my fear that I am going to lose another fish to them

    Harbour Chandler Black Friday

    I got smart tabs for $110. Was quoted $250 at Tro. That was a great deal. I drove up from Victoria and bought a ton of other things which totaled out to what the tabs would have been here. Even when they are not having a sale they can not be beat for service and price.

    Nice to hear about someone using a plug. I have a number of old plugs that I got from my grand father and yesterday I decided that I would make it a mission to catch something using one of these. Nothing yesterday but I am sure it will happen. More so having seen your fish Bugs.

    You are right about it being an awesome day in the water. I am out on the waterfront as I type. Only one small winter for the day. Some awesome video of the whales. My net was a little too small to get one of them in the boat.
