Looks like your dog loves it out there. Bought life jacket for mine. It have not tried it yet.

Beauty winter fish above!

My dog seems comfortable enough with the life jacket. But sometimes shes also happy to get it off. Its more for the cold weather and the “what if” she did go in. Shes a good boat dog though, watches the rod tips, and barks at seals lol! She often sleeps under the helm at my feet but gets up when theres action and perches on the back to make sure we are still on proper tack. Gets her tail wagging when the net gets out, she knows its show time!

Red house area if you know the spot

 

[ab1752]

The small red place on the rocks kusy east of the rockwater? That's our good friends place! Nice work.

Red house area if you know the spot

The old red cabin has a nice big hole that’s deep in there, caught a lot of fish mooching that area for years! Lots of bait pushes into that hole

Can someone clarify current chinook regulations for Jervis Inlet. While Area 16 is closed for Chinook April 1 - July 14, there is a special notice for areas within Jervis Inlet. Are Subareas 16-6, 16-9 and 16-12 still open to retention of 1 Spring?
