Salvaged a canoe today. Describe what’s in the seats to claim.

Out yesterday to see herring balls on the surface in Beecher Bay. Came home to fill out the dfo management survey. Last day for the survey today. And one option is to block off the head to the trap.

I might sell my Hourston 26 Sportfisher this year. 570 I/0 with a 290 Volvo Penta DP. DM me. Chuck built it for himself, according to Bill Hourston.

Ordered Tbolts from Amazon to install hardware on window frames of 16 foot Hourston. Prepping equipment and supplies to make a sunbrella boat top. Started thread to request dimensions of original pole frame. Apparently the TBolts might work to install Scotty gear on Kayak rails.

Winter project. I’m hoping to get pole measurements for a 1977 Hourston 16 to recreate the original boat top frame. Longer side window style.

pI was just going to move the boat from the driveway to the dock to clear the path for the trick or treaters tomorrow, but it was calm and sunny. Out at the Bedfords to 450 from high tide at 2 until dusk, only shakers for me.

I’m pretty interested in the unexpected findings in the Marine Mammal Centre study. I hope this helps the case for longer fishing seasons for chinook. From CBC report of Oct 12th, “A team from the University of British Columbia says the assumption that southern resident killer whales are in...

Green onion (UV green stripe) and UV Purple Haze are my go to for spring, and red old school. I don’t fish the small flashers like some swear by.

Out after work to the Head. Beauty eve with the clouds coming in. Trolled out with glow green hootch at 160, peanut butter at 100 and white at 60. At 530, lots of birds, and a double header for an 8 and 6 chinook. Both hatch, but let the smaller one swim away. Fished in with the setting sun. I’m...

Just curious, what to do with a runner that surfaces some 200 m from your boat Toward shore. At the Head. I was solo yesterday and while letting her run, threw the boat in neutral. long line out with boats all around. Funny thing, it surfaced within netting distancing of a boat setting up their...

Late start today, 11-2. Out to 400 feet off Possession with a couple other boats, with a short trip planned due to the BWD forecast to be off the water by 1:00. Released a 52 cm feeder spring from 200 ft on APHerring, and continuous shakers. Hooked into an 8-9 # wild on a uv white hootchie at...

Out yesterday afternoon, with my mom, who had never seen Juan de Fuca/ East Sooke or Sooke Harbour from the water, though she's lived here for 77 years.Tried to hook into the same fish we got into Sun afternoon at Secretary, but they were gone. We trolled from Fraser to West Bedford o...

Out last eve, at the head. As soon as I got a rod in the water a great hit on bait green/gold Chrome. Ran away from and back to the boat as the boat was being push onto the rocks in the big swell. Shook the hook looking at me. I didn't have the net ready anyway. So that's 2 for 11 fish over the...

FB, I was never very good at math... Dumb luck and time in help fill my freezer. Shakers is all I usually get with 42" smaller spoons in Whirl Bay in the winter. Maybe 6' is the answer.

Never been on a Bertram. I'll trade a ride in the spring with a 26 Hourston Sportfisher, stock i/o.

Last week.of Sept, it was a noKeeper wild coho day for my prairie friend, who said I'd never get her out on my boat. Four wilds were returned, no net no touch. She says I'm the meanest skipper ever for making her throw all her fish back

Tried fishing the ebb today, timelines and in. Only two hits, both at 85 and both on bloody nose with 10 pack. Nothing on hootch or spoon. Trying the flood tomorrow.

Here's the invitation.. To add you own perspective to that of organized groups that speak on our collective behalf, Please send to Ashley.Dobko@dfo.mpo.gc.ca by Mar 15th, 2018. The paper is http://sportfishing.bc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/SRKW-Discussion-Paper-Final-Feb-15-2018.pdf

I was left wondering if there would be enough bait offshore to feed the net pen fish to a 20# plus size for the SRKWs.

Where do we get a replacement?
