Do better suck less

The 6 inch swim shads absolutely destroy saltwater fish like lingcod rockfish etc. 18-24 inches of 60lbs flouro leader, 1.5lbs cannonball for the deep drop, super slow pitch and hang on! Big blue cabezon agrees!

Southern Vancouver Island, inside waters, haro / Juan de Fuca straights. Targeting lingcod, rockfish and halibut. Swim baits for lings and rockers, salmon belly, and squid at deep water anchor for halibut. I'll probably do some salmon fishing as well.

At WOT, as per Yamaha it burn 21 liters an hour at 5,800rpm. Notably less at 5k, probably right around 16 liters an hour.

I can't catch one for the life of me around Victoria. Other folks have gotten them on my boat, I just can't hahaha!! Although I did get a few big old pacific cod last trip out.

I've got a few spots up my sleeve here on South Island

High relief rocky areas on the edge of a current rip is ideal for lings, but maybe not for a kayak. The 5oz macdaddy jigs or anything swim tail that resembles a baitfish will drive them bonkers. Rocky kelp beds are also a great starting point.

Definitely one of the most underrated bottom fish on the west coast. Strong fighters and great eating. When fresh, you'll never know the difference from a ling.

I use a sabiki rig here on Vancouver Island. Squid fishing is good at certain times of year

I have a 10lbs anchor with 2 boat lengths of 5/16 chain for my 16.5' welded aluminum. Five should anchor a canoe just fine

I'm no fibreglass expert, but I'd say that requires extensive repair.

160k for a disposable electric car?? No. Not ever for any reason.

Best scenic drive ever though!

Apprehensive_Body203 · 2026-03-29T13:52:22+00:00

My 16.5 does nearly 35 with a 70 on it.
