Just picked up some pork bellies at Save-On in Parksville today, on sale for $3.99 per pound, not bad looking, little on the thin side but managed to get a few thicker ones. I’ll be making bacon again in a few weeks, good timing as I am down to my last 4 packs of my last batch:).

Definitely agree with Trophywife, move the batteries (and fuel if you can). I have had 36 of the 90's and over 60 of the 115's over the years, would pick the bigger engine every time. More popular engine with a bigger gear-case (better re-sale and stronger bottom end). Moving the batteries...

Sending you a pm. Fishyboy

If you are located mid island, I have a power bleeder you can borrow, I won’t be back for a couple of days though. Power makes the job quick and easy:) Regards Fishyboy

Highliner, You never know with boats, sometimes I think that it would be hard to sell some things, but often turns out that they are gone in short while. This isn’t a fire-sale, so not looking for lowball offers, I haven’t put it on Craigslist or other sites, probably won’t do that until I am...

Season is wrapping up and I will be home in a couple of weeks, so I will be around to show the boat. I have added a few things since last March, and caught a few fish in it as well LOL. 1994 17' Cope welded center console 2017 60hp Mercury SeaPro FourStroke (17hrs I think) 1994 Karavan single...

Agree, along with the maintenance and engine readout, keep in mind the type of boat (weight, hull style and what it is used for), along with the area it came from. I had a set of F90hp Yami’s, used on the open water, that had 3600 hrs in them, and I considered the boat underpowered when I got...

Where is your draw, the wife has one in 1-11B.? Congrats:)

Still hit and miss inshore for springs. Some out on the highway, last batch through were mid teens, smaller than what we have been catching. Still have to put your time in and weed through all the coho out there. The feed is still small, not to many coming in with the larger herring that we...

Ice machine is still up and running Regardsj Fishyboy

News to me about being condemned :). I closed the main part of the resort this year due to a few factors - the reduction in halibut and yellow-eye for 2018 (trying not to do the experimental license), uncertainty in future fisheries (MPA's, Chinook closures, Halibut reductions for 2019 and...

We have about 700-800' of rope, plus 32' of 3/8 short link chain on a 22lb claw anchor, seems to work for us. Having the longer rope lets us angle the boat a bit from the front cleats and to slide back into the current if needed. One of the things I see people doing is keeping the Scotsman too...

Up in our area (27/127) this has been the norm for the last few years, before that, it was more restrictive, no chinook retention inside Cliff Point, over and under out to the Surfline, and 77cm max in Brooks Bay. One year we had 5 different areas for chinook and coho between the Surfline and...

Hi BigReel, The government wharf is $.75 per foot, other places are $1.00. We are within a couple hundred feet of each other, so no real difference other than price. The government side is general moorage, no reserved spots, but in the last 14 years I can only think of one August weekend where...

Just a quick Winter Harbour update. Bottom fishing has been great, as long as the weather co-operates LOL. Some salmon on the highway, but most of the fish are being caught around Lippy/Grants Bay and Kains Light. Usual times, first thing and slack tides, especially high slack when rubbing...

Shared moose for the family, and the wife hit the elk lottery for an island cow draw. Going to be a busy fall and Christmas Fishyboy

Hi Trophy, The government wharf in Winter Harbour has power, $5 per day for 15amp, $.75 per foot for moorage, laundry and showers are available though The Outpost. Harbour has flaked ice, fuel, general store with liquor, and a food trailer if you don’t want to cook on your boat. I would...

Sounds good Mike, the 30lb maxima is yours, will pm you my info. Regards Fishyboy

Hi folks, Since I have closed the main lodge this year, I have some new gear thatI ordered back in October, which I will not be needing this summer. Both taxes will be added onto the price (these were purchase through the company - no cash deals ). Pretty firm on the prices unless you take it...

Went out with my daughter, picked one keeper and released one under. Using a 4” Gibbs spoon @ 81’. Just below the algae bloom - which was nasty on the top water. Told my daughter that this was the first fish in 10 years that was caught on this boat (17’ Cope that we put back together- still...
