    US boat purchase.( another issue)

    I’ve bought a few boats in the US. Bringing a boat back from the US isn’t an issue. The trailer is the issue. All you need to do is prove the trailer meets Canadian standards. The trailer must have visible Serial Number with a model number on it. You must also have a letter from the trailer...

    Rod tension

    Just curious what’s everyone’s thought on how tight to load up your rods on the DR clip. Only reason I ask is I noticed last week at Nootka lots of guys troll with what seems like very little tension on the rods. Just seems like the hook up ratio decreases without the rod bent over with a lot of...

    Fraser River in Prince George

    Anyone have any experience fishing the Fraser in Prince George? Dropping off my kid at university there on the long weekend and was wondering if I should bring along some fishing gear. Google hasn’t been very informative on this. Any help would be great.

    2021 Nootka Sound/Esperanza Inlet Reports

    Nope, not us. Checked out our Hali cause it was just on the line and checked our salmon and hooks for barbs and a decending device. Never asked for any safety equipment. He was just hanging inside friendly bay waiting for boats to go by. He only spent 5-10 min with the boats he pulled over...

    2021 Nootka Sound/Esperanza Inlet Reports

    Just got back from Nootka. Stayed at Moucha and the accommodations were spectacular as always. Fishing never got super hot for us. From Wash to Maquinna was the most productive for us with the clear UV flash fly being the hot lure again. All fish were caught on bottom, was a tough week for...

    Navionics Question

    So just picked up a extra used Lowrance unit for the boat. It came with a Nav card but the card definitely needs a update. Since I have a account for updating my other card can I update my new card as well? Every time I try it’s asking me for $99USD. Just wondering if anyone else with 2 cards or...

    2021 Nootka Sound/Esperanza Inlet Reports

    Is it worth salmon fishing at the end of the month? Got a new boat and I gotta try it out. Kinda going stir crazy. Was thinking of heading out for a week. Prawning I’m thinking should be good. I notice the ling fishing is currently closed. Any idea when it opens?

    Gents, I notice that there’s a “Anchor Symbol” on many areas of the West Coast. Many times there is some odd spots with over 150ft depths. Was wondering it this symbol may or could mean it’s a anchoring/mooring buoy? Looking at spontaneous trip to Nootka In May and was just gonna sleep in the...
