Guess I will just have to actually go out and learn the craft by trying things for myself. I can’t believe it would come to this.

That’s not important, what matters is what did he fry up for lunch?

We all know he catches everything on fried chicken. Anyone know where I can get a 12V deep fryer?

True story
First time I met @Rain City
Jumped onto his commander
He looked at me, stepped between me and his fridge, and said “ I have no food”



Now back to reports if anyone has any

It doesn’t get better than this in Vancouver. 17 degrees mix of sun and cloud no wind flat seas. First undersized feeder at bell buoy after 12 minutes on anchovy second at North Arm after 17 minutes on Avocado Dream. Just watched an Orca swim past the boat. Looking for that keeper to take home.

Fishing half day by bell buoy. 5 to side of the boat. All undersized. A couple shakers and lost one, probably the only keeper
Not bad for mid October. Good luck out there.

Pardon my ignorance, but which is the bellboy?
Is that the one off of Point Grey?
I know the QA, T10, and Sandheads.
Thanks in advance

Yes, closest to Pt Grey, Q62. The sound is unforgettable.

Yup. I still have the sound of that bell ringing loudly in my head as I replay the memories of fish lost by the side of the boat close by. The bell haunts me! Reminds me. Taunts me. Teases me. And brings me back for more.
