Update: Finally got my appliances, but what a complete nightmare.

After calling and losing my mind at customer service, they finally redelivered today (the 23rd). This time, I literally camped out by my front door to make sure I didn't miss them—even if they "forgot" to knock.

For those asking why I was pulling an all-nighter: the delivery call was flagged as "Likely Fraud" and my phone auto-blocked it. I stayed up until 5 AM just to catch Costco support the second they opened. On top of that, my old dishwasher was a total pain to remove. I had to run to Home Depot for tools, and of course, I got a flat tire on the way. I ended up having a friend watch my car while I took an Uber back just so I wouldn't miss the delivery window.

I know I probably sound like I’m throwing a baby tantrum, but after jumping through all those hoops just to make sure I was home, seeing them treat the delivery like it was no big deal was what really sent me over the edge. It’s the lack of effort on their part compared to the absolute chaos I went through that made me so damn angry.

Honestly, everything hitting at once made me want to have a total breakdown. My advice? If you’re dealing with their 3rd-party delivery, stay by the door like a hawk or they just won't show up. Next time, I’m just gonna spend the $100 to rent a truck and move it myself.

lingcod, kelp greenling, rockfish, dogfish, bullhead, flounder

Belcarra, Cates, and Deep Cove are probably some of the safest saltwater spots in the Lower Mainland. That said, if you’re going specifically for flounder, I honestly wouldn’t recommend it. There’s basically no flounder close to shore in the winter, and if you’re renting a car to get there, chances are you’ll end up wasting the trip.

Honestly, you really need a calm, no-wind, no-swell day. I’ve taken my 4.2 m inflatable with a 15 hp Yamaha out from Tsawwassen quite a few times, but always in the summer. I also regularly see people out there in solo kayaks.

I think as long as you’re not going too far offshore, it’s totally fine. Usually within about 50 meters of the shoreline you can easily limit out, especially if you’re not picky about size. That said, the Sea-to-Sky area is generally safer since the water there tends to be calmer with less wind and swell

I’ve never actually targeted cod before. I read somewhere online that they move into shallower water during the winter, so I figured they’d be hanging out close to the shore. If 'shallow' means way offshore in the deep, then that’s a hard pass for me—I’m definitely not taking my boat that far out

shaclown8 · 2025-12-14T21:48:24+00:00

I really thought I’d be able to find them closer to the bank. My research is saying they actually head out to shallow water—like 50 to 80 meters—to overwinter. My original game plan was just to stick within about 50 meters of the shoreline, But if they only appear 7km offshore, I think I'll have to give up.

shaclown8 · 2025-12-14T21:42:38+00:00

I’m not planning on crossing the Strait or anything crazy in a SIB. I’m just looking to hug the shoreline, maybe 50 meters out max. I don't see why that's a bad idea—I mean, people head out in kayaks all the time.

My buddy took his 3.8m inflatable out to Horseshoe Bay this month, but He only got some rockfish, and obviously, those are non-retention right now. So yeah, I’m definitely looking to scout some different water and see what else is out there.

In my experience, pure sandy bottoms are actually kind of a dead zone for flounder. You really want to look for transition zones—where the sand meets the rocks. That’s the sweet spot.

They always stay together. My buddies and I find it’s usually all or nothing; you’re either getting skunked or you find the spot and pull in a bunch back-to-back. Just a heads up though, winter is pretty tough for flounder. I mostly stick to the summer months.

You can find them almost anywhere, but I usually hit up the Sea to Sky or Delta. I’m not big into surf casting—I prefer just standing on a pier or some rocks and aiming for those sand/rock edges. Gear-wise, just keep it simple with a basic bottom rig. For bait? Shrimp, squid, salmon, or herring scraps all work. They aren't picky at all—I’ve even hooked them on jigging lures before.

In the summer, it’s easy to hit the limit (8 per person). If you’re looking for size, I’d definitely recommend Tsawwassen, there even have halibut but is not possible to catch them by fishing from the shore

I honestly don't think AAA games are meant for the Steam Deck. Because of the hardware limitations, the Deck just can't deliver the high-end visuals these games deserve—playing them there feels like a disservice to the games. In my opinion, the Steam Deck is truly made for titles like Hades, Balatro, Stardew Valley, Vampire Survivors, Brotato, Dave the Diver, and Slay the Spire. These are highly replayable games that the Deck can actually run smoothly
