    Finally got out after transom and floor rebuild. Went jigging on the flats for fun with kiddie rods and 10# test looking for springs. Turns out bycatch was good to us.

    Back-Trolling

    Have always used back trolling when jigging halibut/salmon. With either a tiller main, or kicker. It is very easy to keep everyone's lines on the fish compared to drifting. If waves are coming into the well its time to go home, or god forbid sport drag.

    Smallest boat for Vancouver to Victoria and back on infrequent basis ?

    I've been running up to the cabin in my modified 17' DE and i'll gladly go in the middle of the night if that's when the wind is mellowest.

Jigging is another beast, once hooked, springs RACE to the surface to spit, sometimes you can...

    2017 Port Renfrew Reports

    Camped sat night and hit the beach in the dingy trolling and casting a blue fox in the rain. Fish were having a good time. Played a couple, keeping one #14. Reminded how fun northerns are :) Saw a bunch of tuna at the table, and the outfitters crew who had gotten into some nice sept slabs
