Thanks! Can you still buys the other parts. I just bought this boat and they're already mounted there...They hold the Scotty wire type rod holders. Never seen them mounted on the flat though, usually on a gunnel

They are called a sidewinder rod holder by Scotty. Canadian Tire sell the whole unit. Maybe try Spencers Marine Supply in Sidney for used ones.
Right on. Thanks!
I'm lazy, so don't go out for sunrises. I much prefer sunsets and have reasonable success as such.
Craig, obviously you are very proud of your wife and fancy boat which people will now recognize. You should be completely embarrassed for the mishandling of that beautiful fish. Both of her hands are inside the gill plate even if it swam away zero chance it survives. I have followed this forum for years never signed in until now. Infuriated! Fishinforever congratulating someone on being ignorant only shows your ignorance. People that do not know how to handle and release properly should not be allowed to fish. Once they learn how then of course they should be able too. Please learn before you go fishing again! Being a good fisher person isn’t just about catching fish anymore it’s as much about releasing the ones you can’t keep safely. Posting pics like Craig’s will most likely lead to Dfo deciding to not allow any sport fishing.
Fair comment on the handling of the fish but lighting someone up in public will only ensure that they stop posting. You could have as easily sent a PM with your comments and also explained a lot more tactfully.
Well said.
My apologies for feeling the need to embarrass anyone publicly? Wtf I think someone embarrassed themselves being ignorant of the correct way to handle and release a beautiful fish that may come from a run that is decimated. Being ignorant of something that is not law is not a crime. I am sure I have been ignorant maybe even of a law. But it should be a crime to handle a fish like that and to post the pics. It is not the first time someone has posted similar type pics. Like I said it infuriates me ! Killing a Spring Salmon unnecessarily. I want my grandkids to be able to catch one even if they have to release it and so should you. Now I am totally relaxed sitting on my balcony feeling Old. Believe it or not I am a very experienced fisherman a few thousand days on the water literally. Please allow me to share my knowledge. Along time ago I figured out that if you don’t kill fish unnecessarily we will have more in the future. As far as criticizing anyone goes maybe you should just sit back on your balcony and stare in the mirror.
You have to think of the fish first. Release in the water. is best but If you have to bring in the boat to measure for retention do it as guickly as possible If over 80cm hold fish around tail and with the other hand under the belly to release I am sure most have seen this on fishing programs It is just common sense It is not rocket science Taking a picture just adds time to the fish out of the water.Try taking a mental picture instead.
What a first day on the forum. Scorched Earth!
