Fish out of secret cove for about a week every summer pretty much soley so we can fish liveys. Not an old school expert like allot of guys on here I'm sure but we usually do well. Almost always on the anchor , 2 - 6 oz slip weigh , long light leader ( 6' of 12 lb maxima ) , small hooks ( 1/0 owners ) . Put in holder, set at desired depth, crack beer and relax. So much more relaxing than down rigging , have also landed many nice ling doing so, even a 60 - 70 lb Hali two summers ago at the south end of lasqueti. Dogfish can be an issue.
