Reply With QuoteThese fellas stayed out over night! I wonder what the protocol on that is. Obviously perfect weather. They must take turns sleeping at night by leaving one person on "the watch". I would like to do this. They also fished at night. Interesting.
Anyone know of a place to buy live 'chovies here in BC? Ever try picking up a cast net a catching your own bait? the biggest issue with this would be finding it efficiently the day of a trip I guess. it doenst seem like it would be too terribly dificult to scoop some up if you come across a ball boiling at the surface.

thats pretty bad ass!
Looks faster and easier than what I have been doing for certain.
Thats how we...well my 2 buddies did it. They were able to get the hang of it much quicker than I so, I was put on cleaning duty once the fish were fileted. Its an awesome method, I did do a few and its pretty cool how the meat just rolls off the skeleton once you make the lateral incision. My problem was, with little stubby shop finger nails, I couldn't grip the skin to peel it off the carcas. Took like 5 hours to do 20ish fish as rookies to the trade. Took longer to clean em than catch them!Originally Posted by Birdsnest
Apparently FB is not as hardcore as I thought
Kudos for cleaning the fish without soaking the filets and ruining the texture.
Major Fail for throwing out the belly meat though-that's the best part!
Ya, I thought the same about the belly meat. Going to try to hit it tomorrow. I know its too early but last year I got them on July 06th and the water was even cooler than it has been for the last 2 weeks. Wish us luck.
Hope the dock looks like this when we are done.
Good luck sir! Be safe and give us the goods when you get back!
Go get em Birdsnest.
