    Ukluelet and a Zodiac

    Ditto ...don't even bring a gaff into the zodiac, eventually much less fun than you think. Another learned experience.

    Snow

    Yeah, worked from dark and miserable to 2 PM for breakfast, clearing broken trees and big branches and more snow than I care to describe. I think I've had enough of west coast snowsludge for the year. But hey, how often can you say "Oh good, it's gonna rain" ?

    Doing a trip on your own

    Solo trips are good for your mental health. Get a satellite gizmo like an Inreach. It's surprising how much braver you get in your planning, knowing you can be found. I even take it when with my buddies, since they are as decrepit as I am. A solo trip feels like "You're so much closer to the...

    Action Required - Potential Fin FIsh Closure from Long Beach to Swiftsure for SRKW

    Thanks for the alert. The real fear is that once again the DFO are pursuing an "easy visibility win" over a "long term science based win". They are again squandering an opportunity to use visibilty to protect salmon rearing habitat and give them enough political courage to monitor and enforce...

    Also recommend the InReach. Simple setup, you can modify the rate for homebound months. Never have though, 'cause always find somewhere interesting to roam outside cell range. Which I am more likely to do when I have a little more confidence in avoiding the " If **** goes down, my wife will...

    Theft From Boats

    Yeah, the Walmart parking lot in Port Alberni is a bad spot for thieving. Like many Walmart lots, everybody with a truck and boat or trailer parks along outside edge. I was laying in bottom of boat cleaning something nasty from bilge, hear what sounds like my creaky truck door open, pop my...

    Winter/Spring small shaker reports

    Hi Bugs, it was a mix of coho and smaller springs. The coho were around 14 to 16 inches, springs were at most 12 to 13 inches. I originally thought it was just coho out there, but when we strayed off the hump, we picked up the smaller springs, downriggers were at 230 feet trying to avoid the...

    Winter/Spring small shaker reports

    Very many of them at the hump off French Creek on Wednesday (Dec. 6). Had to be literally thousands around, they were even jumping and swimming around at the surface. We stopped fishing after catching several, and yes ... they were gently released using a gaff without lifting them. We changed...
