I took kayak fishing 2 and 3 with http://www.skils.ca — it was great!

I have jigged for ling cod and trolled for salmon with a “lily pad”. I caught a 12 pound chinook off Vancouver Island last summer. http://madfroggear.com/lillypad.html

My favourite lures are buzz bombs – super simple. I have a small bag of gear to use, and a net. Long pliers are good to release fish you don’t want still in the water.

Hey Roland. I would be game to join your SKABC fishing group if you set it up.

Just keep me posted 🙂

Hi Corey,

I’m interested to give that a try as well…

1- What other kinds of fishing have you done already? (I have done some river and some ocean)

2- have you done you sea kayaking rescues and self rescues? (I have done some, I probably qualify as an intermediate level kayaker)

Feel free to contact me about getting out there to try it out first somewhere in the Vancouver/Lower Mainland area.

Talk soon,

Redouane.

Thanks for all the info guys, really appreciated!

Roland Stefani, I’d definitely be interested in joining that subgroup if you do create it. Just even day kayak for finishing trips would be alot of fun! Let me know!

Herb Johnson wrote an article on kayak fishing — it is in the newsletter archives. Here’s a link  — scroll down page 4 for “Herb’s Fishing for Food and Fun Tips”:

A few of us fished on our club trip to Jedediah Island last month. We had rockfish for dinner one night and oysters another night. My fishing pole was a little long and hard to manage so I have since had it modified it to be about 3 feet long.  Looking forward to trying it.

 

[Roland Stefani]

A rod longer than 6 ft can be difficult to manage;  weighted jigs that resemble herring or anchovy are probably the lure of choice, tide changes are the best time to salmon fish, and choose locations with some current to avoid dogfish.

fyi.  I am interested  in forming a sub group in SKABC that does trips where fishing is one of the goals.  The standard SKABC does not stop to fish; but such a group would make planned stops for fishing in route to a destination, whether its a day trip or multi-day.   However, this year, I have little time for kayaking, so hopefully next year something can be organized.

Thinking of getting into salmon fishing  from my sea kayak. Is anyone familiar with this, if so do you have any tips on salmon rod type, gear etc. Looks like it would be quite an exhilarating experience to have one reeled in!

cheers,

I am off work and interested in doing some day paddles or possibly a camping trip close to Vancouver (?Sechelt Inlet, Thormanbys, Granite Falls). Please contact me if you are interested in getting out on the water the 1st week of Sept. jh99155@gmail.com

Got one! Thank you!

Hi Maureen,

I have a club radio you can borrow. It’s really old (18 yrs old) but it works fine. Can you pick it up in the VGH area tomorrow? If so, let’s continue this conversation outside the forum.

Does the club have a radio I could borrow for this weekend?

I could pick it up on Wednesday and return it next week.

Thanks Maureen

Hi all SKABC members:

 

If you do not receive email from MEC, check out the calendar of events on their website. They have included an Intro to Marine Navigation evening event this coming Thursday. Check it out if you weren’t able to do the navigation course offered by the club or as a refresher. Best to take our course, though as you’ll put it into actual practice…..

 

[Admin S. Jensen]

The club received this notice from John Thoreson for our forum:

I found a 5L MEC blue dry bag with women’s outdoor clothing on the outside of Aristazabal Is. on a kayaking trip earlier this summer and, even though it’s probably 1 in a million, figure whoever lost their gear would be excited to get it back.

I’m contacting different clubs and shops to get the word out. Who knows?
