    2023 Gulf Island Reports

    I went past Collinson last Saturday, 5 boats out hooking into springs right at the point, pinks had mostly left. I fished the outside near Lions Islet and we ended up retaining 4 chinook (11 - 15lb) in 130' of water - reeling down hard and quick on the bite made a big difference. 70' down...

    2023 Nanaimo Reports

    Great fishing out there these this last week - brought in a nice 86cm Spring that was released in excellent condition. The big ones are out there! For derby weekend, this is the lure to win it: The secret is to hook up the flasher backwards and troll in 500' at 5mph. See you at the prize...

    High Tech Jigging

    I’ll stick with an 80 grit rub on my old rust brown hooks, after gas and bait I’ll be damned if I’m wasting $1.50 on a new hook. 😎

    Straightwatch - Who are they really?

    Was fishing the other day, and heard a rather questionable use of VHF 16 throughout the day by a group known as Straightwatch. Apparently they're a non-profit with the goal of informing other vessels about whales in the immediate area. Seems reasonable. A few days prior we'd been fishing the...

    2023 Gulf Island Reports

    Hit the outside of Active Pass last night from 4:30-7:30, had a few Chinook on and 1 undersize hatchery coho. Trolled the 200' contour fairly fast at 30' - 90' with a few checks into deeper water, never did get on top of any coho - less bait than usual.

    SRKW Managment 2023 Survey (Open until Feb 19 2023)

    The Survey does ask for opinions on a few of those questions. Personally I'm going to cut and paste: These closures force smaller vessels and inexperienced boaters further away from safe fishing areas, or make fishing entirely impossible for those with smaller boats. It's unacceptable that...

    Thanks to forum member @tinytinny for selling me a P66. @wildthing HC won’t bring in the 7 pin anymore, though they are still in production. The 9 pin is sold out most places too.
