My favorite way to fish in the winter is trolling tomics, no weight, way behind the boat. I hug the shoreline and usually do quite well with big cutty's. Apex's and Flatfish are also very productive on Cowichan

I don't know about cerimonial sockeye, but I just bought 8 from my local band

If you are going as far as Sooke, Village foods has a supply of bait, including octopus and squid.

This is great. I only wish this research would have taken place years ago.

I will be bringing my girlfriend since she catches all the fish. I just steer the boat and take photos. o_O

March 7th works great for me. I'll be in town and able to make it. I'll bring plenty of lies, tales and exaggerations

That could absolutely be the case. The Harbour Chandler is in the business of selling fishing gear. Hell, I'm so pessimistic, I believe a lot of the information shared on forums should be taken with a grain of salt. The only way to really be sure is to try it out and see if it works for you. And...

From Harbour Chandlers facebook page. Looks like they catch fish!

While canning a batch of salmon from last year I decided to try a little experiment. I added a teaspoon of liquid smoke to 6 cans. I was pessimistic, figuring a shortcut this easy would never work. Wrong, I wished I did more. I realize nothing beats putting in the effort and time required to get...

Nice work! I lived on Kin Beach for a couple years and never even tried the fishing from shore. Regretting that now.

I've been trying for pinks, but nothing yet. Springs are plentiful. I've had my best success just before dusk.

I've been fishing out of Gillies Bay on Texada, and finding the same thing. The bite really comes on just before sunset. Finding a lot of shiner perch in their bellies. That was a bit of a surprise. Sometimes find a shiner occasionally, but these guys were gorging on them

In my experience , salmon come in with the tide, usually chasing the bait forced up against the shoreline by current and predators. It makes for some of the most exciting fishing I have ever experienced! Often I can see the salmon chasing the bait . A well placed buzz bomb, my shore lure of...

I have been experimenting last season and still have cable on one downrigger, braid on the other. Both fished very well, neither out fished the other. However, there was a huge phytoplankton bloom around Texada recently. That stuff stuck to the cable like crap to a blanket. However, it didn't...

I read it the same way. Guess I'm going to have to modify all my traps. They only have one escape ring

I was introduced to salmon fishing in those boats rented from Gilberts . Brings back great memories!

I recycle them into crab meat.

Fished out of Pedder Bay Wednesday. The bite came on hot and heavy around 8 am and died off as the morning progressed. The fish were taking spoons and hoochies. Kept one American, 13 lbs, for tonight's bbq dinner. Tried for halibut but no takers
