    Does anyone have any good dog fish recipes?

    There are a few videos on youtube on how to strip them out on the water. Bring a cooler full of ice with you, bleed them and strip out as soon as you catch them. Cut into fillet sections which is easy because no bones, and batter and fry like any other battered fish and chips. They are a lot...

    Rockfish Release

    I built one of my own using a small spreader bar with a 2lb(can use bigger balls if you need to lol) ball on it. You cut the short end off the bar, the ball goes on the long end. Bend it to the shape of an r. Place the short end on the fish's lower jaw and send it down. Works like a charm, and...

    Smoked salmon brown sugar/course salt ratio?

    What wolf said. This ratio also works $#it hot on lingcod and rockfish. Don't believe me? Try it out for your self! For rockfish, brine time is 12 to 14 hours max, for lings 16 hours max. It works great on fire grilled trout too, with 6 hours brine before going on the bbq you can not beat it! It...

    Ling Cod

    Is that a new reg? I could swear it was only rockfish open all year out there and ling was same opening as the rest of area 20 with a limit of 3 instead of 1.

    Guide boat down off Tofino

    If it is indeed the boat I am talking about, unclipping was not an option. The guy didn't have a halibut anchor setup, it was a standard bow mounted chain setup... again, I hope I am wrong here...

    Guide boat down off Tofino

    My brother is pretty sure its one of his good friends. Lives in alberta, and does charters on a cat out of tofino. They had problems pulling up anchor last time he was out with the guy. Scary stuff. Not going to really speculate too much here but if it was the same guy, it could have very well...

    Anybody else irritated with the DFO?

    Long story short, I am invited on a fishing trip tomorrow, and went to go grab a new license. I get to canadian tire where they inform me they no longer issue licenses, and it is all only online now. Thats fine. Except just now, I fill out all of the required info on the license app, only to...

    Wild Mushroom Picking - Chanterelles

    We found two on the side of a fire road, on a mountain near port renfrew, this September on our way hiking to a camp site. They were incredible! I just wanted to sniff the paper bag we had them in all night before dinner. Like fresh cinnamon buns lol. We never found any more on the 3 or 4...

    Wild Mushroom Picking - Chanterelles

    Nice work! My other half and I didn't get out for mushrooms as much as we wanted to this season, but the few times we did were actually fairly productive. The last few years have been kinda spotty. Our 6 year old loves coming out for the hunt too!

    Shawnigan Creek Coho- CVRD Supreme Court Ruling to Hault Soil Dumping Overturned in Appeals Court

    There should be some kind of class action lawsuit filed against the cvrd, and Supreme Court for allowing this to happen. The owners of the property itself should also face incredibly heavy fines and possibly jail time for dumping garbage into the environment. Why does it always come down to...
