My south island halibut effort at least trippled over last year why are people saying there has been less boats out? For salmon yea for hali's... I don't know probably not.

That halibut seminar...

Damn I have had a lot of fun Halibut fishing this season. I deffinetly got my share of the TAC this year that feels good sorry I probably took some of your guys' share too. Bring on March 1, 2013! I...

I've had bait from last year (yes last year) tag springs this year. You'll know if your bait has been in the fridge/freezer too long without enough salt if they are rotting, if the bellys are going...

Craven you must troll on your main to put on a few hundred hours per year? I don't think I have put 100 hours on my main in 3 years fishing the victoria and sooke area. Like most of us I never run...

That truck doesn't really look that far down the ramp I was expecting a lot worse from the post. It's not like the truck is half submerged or anything. It's going to be just fine. I think it's quite...

I bought a boat 3 years ago. I got a hand scrawled reciept it might say the dudes name and purchase price on it deffinetly not his SIN or anything like that. This is assuming I can find that peice of...

Hah Kelly I did the exact same thing in Victoria. Had my 2yr old daughter all ready for her very first ride in dads boat. We get to the Esquimalt anglers launch at low tide which is usually no big...

cuttys deffinetly like it fast. The only ones I ever hit in elk lake were just as you described. When I was either heading home or to another location and put the electric in high speed but left the...

I doubt it is illigel to get the crabs with a dip net. Divers can just go around picking them up not sure why you wouldn't be aloud to scoop them.

Lots of people fish for crabs using a rod and...

I believe they eat anything just keep trying. Herring is a favorite for most but not required.

While Fishing out of Vic yesterday there was chatter on the radio about stolen crab traps. One guy said his buddy could not find his traps so he pulled an un named float in the area and his traps...

Picked up two chicken hali yesterday on a quick fish. The first was about 15 a little ping pong paddle the second much nicer around 30.


My dad has pics of the actual fish not sure why I didn't...

I'm in vic and have a Shimano TLD 20 (level wind with a lever drag system) paired with a rino rod $100.

First off I am sorry to hear about the missing traps especially since you had your son with you when you went to check them. I do wonder a little if he was upset because of the missing traps or...

Anyone been fishing trout in shawnigan lately?

Any tips/tricks/spots/depths to share?

It's a bigger lake and can be tricky. I've had days trolling little plugs or rapalas on top produce lots...

I guess I'm a redneck. I bleed em then throw em in the exposed transom for the rest of the day. Yea sometimes the sun beats on them - what can ya do when you have a small boat? I clean the fish when...

If your on the island take it in to scotty plastics in sidney and they will fix it up for you - no charge. It would hep if you knew what the problem was before hand but whatever it is they probably...

It's an Achilles. I have not been able to find much info on it so far. I even e-mailed sherwood marine a week and a half ago (they apparently sell them) with a few questions and a parts request and...

I just put my name and my girlfriends name on the floats if another buddy is with me they fish her floats. Not sure if the DFO would really care as long as there are not too many traps?

Used to? I still use 10's at least in the summer. What happened to 12's they were in for like a season now it's all about the 15's?

That's the fun of boating I guess no matter how awsome your...

I hope the navy is held responsible if somebody hits that thing - asuming it is in fact their buoy.

That notice is dated November 2011 we are now in April and still nothing has been done? Wow who...

I recently got an HDS 7 I am quite happy with it but I will tell you the navionics chip is a complete rip off. Not only is it lacking a lot of details (they blame that on the canadian government) but...

Your idea is all right. I use these cheap round containters my girlfriend found at the dollar store for my prawn ropes. Each one will hold 400ft of line and they have lots of holes to let breath....

Craven and others do you usually go back to the same Hali spot each time if you had success there before or do you spread it around? I had great success (70 and 20lbr) on the first day out this yead...

I know nothing but I feel like starting a rumour anyways.

I'm sure it has to do with money. They will say it's about pollution in the estuary, boat wakes past their docks, loud campers at night,...
