Any recent reports of what the spring fishing is like on the Big Q? Would love to take my 2 young grandsons somewhere to do some catch and release on springs using spin casting gear. Little Q is fly only and they are not ready for that yet.
I’ve just had another SeaQualizer fail on me. This one has seen very little usage in past 3 years. First time using it this year and it won’t open at depth to release the cod. Tried it 5 or 6 times and it never did work. Even tried all the different depth settings.
I’ve used them lots in...
I installed Navionics on my cell phone and tablet years ago and just chose to not do any of the updates etc Now my tablet and phone applications are useless as they don’t show any detail. If I pay the annual fee to get it back up and running do I have to do this every year to keep it usable...
Just a heads up that there is a very good garage sale tomorrow with all the fishing gear from a retired high line commercial troller in Nanoose tomorrow. Lots of conventional gear including lots of spoons, flashers and hootchies. It’s listed on Marketplace. Friend is helping organize and...

Making the shift over to the Bauer solid style traps and away from my old commercial stackable ones. A question to those of you fishing these. Is there a significant difference in the catching ability of the 24" traps versus the 18" traps? I don't have unlimited deck space so the 18's take...

-Need 1 single seat on a short swivel base for my main helm in my new personal boat. Current seat too small for me. No room for a suspension seat so...
I know the topic of inflatables has been covered in the past but I am looking at a small one for my 24' boat for doing the beach excursions. I have been looking at the Quicksilver ones, in particular the Tendy. Want something lightweight so I can lift manually to the cabin top. Looking to row...
Anybody got one or two they wish to part with before I order online from the US or does anyone know who might carry them here on the Island? Checked a few places with no success Thanks.
Looking to repower my 24’ 6000lb boat. Currently has a newer low hour 200 Yamaha (100 hours) but is too underpowered for my liking. Looking to go to 300.
I am not stuck on Yamaha, would buy a Mercury or a Suzuki but a Yamaha means I could reuse all my controls and wiring. Will prefer to go...

1. Good boats
2. Best time to go
We don’t get seasick and...
