Hold on there fella!!![B)]
Them are fightin' words.[xx(]
The Chum we see staging up in Browns are in the prime of their lives.
Bright, chrome and will out fight any of the other Salmons, hands down.
Great on the BBQ when they are fresh and even better smoked or candied.
As for stripping the frawns from the squirts...yes.
I feel better now, thanks for letting me vent.

The way to take care of a chum and have great meat.
1. Bleed them as soon as they are in the boat.
2. ICE them ASAP.
3. Don't man handle these fish as they are easily bruised.
You will either have the best fights or some of the best fights of the season from a fish half the weight you expect.
While having the fight of your life another rod goes off oohhh no another rod is screaming but while buddy fights another fish the fourth rod goes off but who's driving the boat oooohhhhh sh__!!!!
The true definition of fun fishing and more!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers ME

Gennerally chum fishing takes place in deepwater bay/ plumper bay,on the north end of seymore narrows, right across from Browns bay. Propably a 10 minute boat ride. Plumper bay is sheltered and as one heads north less and less sheltered.People fish as far north as chathem point, ripple point, but the fish are also close to browns bay. A 16 foot runabout will be fine.
Gennerally people use sockey gear, but the best luck i had was with anchovies. trolling slow
see ya there[8D]

Last year guys were fishing in 12' aluminum boats and like quoted you don't need to go far to get into the fish. However I will post pictures soon of the deadly gear that caught over 60% of the winning fish last year and it costs alot less and is way more productive then bait!
Closest cabins are at Roberts Lake Resort only a 10 minute drive from Browns Bay they have small cabins and larger ones that will accomadate up to 6 @ a very reasonable off season rates phone # 1-250-287-9421

27" leader dead slow troll. Headed from Campbell River to Lake Union with Eagle Craft Boats to prepare for floating show Sept 13th to 17th tommorow by water so will have to post pics tuesday when I return Home.
Pics will be of Michele Bait Pink and Black and Pink and Blue with swivels in the heads both with Black 4ot or 5ot Hooks tweeked for better hook-ups and retention. I have a few other ones thanks to Blue Orca but not my place to post. Blue Orca was the true reason why I do so well on Chums.

My buddy 'Scooter' and I are looking forward to our 1st Chum Derby, sounds like the experience will be a hoot and a half!
We'll be camping out in the cuddy on his Explorer, haven't done that before. Last boat I slept in was the Golden Princess, like 8 football fields long.
This forum is a fantastic resource for information and tips from the experienced. I appreciate the tips on lure types, trolling speed, stacking rods, and fishing holes. What about depths? How early Sat/Sun morning do you usually get out, how late?
Any other tips from the 'experienced' Chummers would be appreciated.

'cause I can't believe I'm lucky enough to be livin' here!

Have transportation/gear galore if needed.
Never fished Chum in the salt and now that I'm unemployed I'm keen to give this a try.
