Here too! Lots of brand new Abe and Als and Nootka Flashers. Although I rarely use them I do keep a few Nootka Flashers in the boat and have put them on when things get really slow. I just don't like...

My guess is that Toquart Bay is on it's way out for the average Joe fisherman. My wife and I were there two years ago in the Spring (all alone, nobody else there except for the Wolves). There was a...
I've got a half dozen or more 275's, 375's and even a smaller 175. They all caught their share of fish but the two way drags are a bit of a pain. I now use M Ones and M One Plus models on all my...
The Marina at Islands West is fine. The boat ramp could use some maintenance but it's a pretty good place to stay. I'm booked in there for mid August and I'll probably be there in July as well....
Mercury Premium Plus oil. Easy to find in bulk, works great in the Optimax and is pretty cheap compared to the Opti Oil.

I was a lineman for 36 years and 14 days. Now I'm into week seven of retirement and loving it.

Hoping to see lots more donated at the BCWF AGM in Richmond at the end of this month. Nanaimo F & G has a cheque for $1000.00 to donate. Let's see some of the other clubs step up and donate.

Minutes were out yesterday!

Agreed. I've had a pair for over 20 years and bought my wife a pair three or four years ago. Love a pair of Zeiss or Swarovskis like my partners have but they run about $2200 now.

Mine stays on all the time.

A friend has the second boat by by them. Built especially for fishing and it's a beaut. It has a different look to it but after a while you get used to it. I wouldn't hesitate to by one if I was in...
I've had Mike at Country Rod Crafters repair a couple of rods and reels of mine. Quality work and the pricing is pretty reasonable.

Local Ebay company. I've used some of their hootchies with no complaints.

More and more US mail order companies are starting to ship by way of USPS. Too many lost sales due to excessive brokerage fees charged by UPS and other courier companies.

I agree with fishing just off the bottom. I always use a white hootchie with a black or green stripe (sometimes a bit of orange mixed in) on at least one side when I fish out front. Doesn't matter...
This is a very simple thing to do and I've made them up myself a couple of times. Takes about 20 minutes tops. I only use these extended draw bars for my small lake boat though. Using an extended...
Sorry guys. Really wanted to make it but I was reminded of prior commitments that made it impossible. Maybe we could try it again in the spring sometime. A little local derby when the springs are...
20# is pretty big. I'll stay with my finned 13#ers.

Bought my wife a 2012 Jeep Patriot. Dealer had a big red bow on it when we went to pick it up.

Just starting to come down in North Nanaimo. Not sticking yet but we just might get a white Christmas before the day is over.
Dave
That's correct. I know a few guys who have built their on fillers. You just refuel off a 20 lb. tank.

We keep one of the butane stoves in the boat all the time. It's our main source of heat to make the coffee and heat up dinner. It was cheap to buy online. Somewhere about $25.00 shipped. Wholesale...
Oh man, who winterizes their boat in the mid island area. Prawns should be good and there's always a few winter springs to be had.
DOF, post a time or some specifics and the wife and I may be able...
