    Chinook bycatch by BC trawlers

    Just saw this story on Global. Makes my blood boil. There probably won’t be any consequences or anyone held responsible though. With everything we go through to avoid catching these fish it’s crazy that this isn’t being regulated more. Thoughts...

    Fished Swale the day before yesterday. Did well on white hootchies at 45 feet tight to the beach. Good way to end the season.

    Need a hand with salmon trolling

    Are you fishing your flashers upside down? I’ve seen some fishers do that in the past? I’d use 40# test mono to tie your spoons. 5 foot leaders for spring and 3 for coho. I’d go with braid on the downriggers. Sorry you’re having some troubles. It can be frustrating.

    Flushing outboards off the grid

    My plan is to take a 1000L tote and a sump pump connected to a garden hose. Then hook up my outboards to the garden hose to flush after use. We don’t have running water on this property but we do have electricity. I didn’t want to use a barrel to stop the open water from attracting mosquitos...

    Thank you for the replies. Did everyone’s TAC get lowered? The Alaskans are taking less too?

    Early Halibut Opening

    880,250 lbs of TAC for the recreational sector. What was last years? Does anyone know? At one a day I doubt we’d come close to fulfilling that?! Plus I found this in the 2023 IPHC report: “ 1) In all waters off British Columbia:6, 7 (a) the recreational (sport) fishing season will open on...

    Some Great Information on SKRW Survey and Chinook Numbers from Jason Tonelli.

    Crazy to me that Don Cherry says “those people” and he’s tossed faster than berried prawn but Justin says those people, “fringe people” technically, and he carries on.

    Outboard cover

    Last summer I had a guy tell me that I should get an outboard cover for driving up the logging roads. That the dust could get inside the motors. Made sense to me and given that I’m forced to keep boat outside for the winter, I thought maybe I’d buy a couple. Just curious if anyone uses outboard...

    Mexico Fishing Trips

It was an ok experience. Ended up with one striped Marlin. 105 lbs according to the guides. Seemed...

    Westjet ruins fishing trip

    You actually aren’t dealing with Westjet staff until you get on the airplane. The CSAs are contracted employees from Menzies.

    2021 Bamfield and Barkley Sound Reports

    Was it a HMM container ship? If so he’s been there for at least a week then. Strange
