I think it's an Alaska pollock. I've caught two on them in the last two weeks at Tunstall Bay, once in shallower water (130') and once on a retrieval.
Yep, one of the best tasting bottom fish in my opinion
The shimp boats are dragging on the mud. They'd wreck their gear if they hooked up on any rock where the glass sponge grows.
do you fish there as can tell you the balls don't bring mud up ......... its been ploughed to smithers for years thats why its flat .... and then they still allow it ....he's gone from west bay to half mile off keats back and forth .... you think thats ok for the bottom????? from the farm /camp to cotton pt
Yes I do fish, commercially and recreational in Howe Sound. Theres mostly soft bottom in that area with a couple of isolated hard bottom/reefs . Shrimp are on the softer bottom not the rock.
Do the commie draggers throw the Female Spots back?
Generally the shrimp trawls have an excluder that sends fish and spot prawns out the top.
that what all those fish r ive marked a few times out there in th 20-80 feet range
Ah right on. Yeah could have only been one of the two boats we saw all day lol. What a beauty people missed if they were afraid of a bit of cold.
We had a day ourselves...

Spoons on bottom
Need to be able to clean fish etc when boat camping.
Woah man, it's like you've been reading my mind all weekend. I've been doing the same research. I've found this one a little on the small side, so I've been looking at those same two. The quality of the Magma is great, I too wouldn't spend the extra money on the Nauti. I'm sure it's marginally better but not worth it to me. The only thing I'm doing different this time is adding two posts at the front and pulling the table forward about 6". It's ok as a rigging station or for the odd fish or three. But I'm a little too slouched forward in its current position. The dual rail mounting also isn't adequate, I've had the table flip back in me when someone really leaned into it, lost all the gear on it. My new setup will have four mounting points. Oh and last thing, I didn't like that the Nauti was 3" longer but actually had less work surface because of the way they mount the sides inset a couple inches. Just kind of bugged me. Hope that helps!
Lol…Yea, thanks for your feedback it is totally helpful. I was worried maybe it was thinner and more flexible. I don’t have a rear rail so will be mounted in Scotty bases or flush mount rod holders. Having the risk of it pivoting back and items going overboard would be terrible.
I agree 100% on not having a tackle store back there. I ordered one through Amazon but they're currently on backorder. I'll let yah know if I hear anything.
that only looks like 7 or 8 trays LAME.... the extra reels alone though pretty well makes up for the lack of gear to drop in the drink. lol just kiddin bud. Hope to be down fishing in a couple weeks guys.
