Goals / plans for 2025 summer / fall season

I’m going to continue to strive to hook chinooks without an inline flasher

Pretty sure you've done that a couple of times over the years.

I want to hook my first spring doing the jigging thing! I also want to get into more squid

Careful. It’s a slippery slope! I also wanna try the the jigging thing on the west coast. Me thinks there will be a steep learning curve over there.

Catch a halibut off Nanaimo. A unicorn I know. But something to do while prawn traps soak and salmon are closed.

I’ve got three on the inside in the last 10 years ! 65 lber off lasqueti 2016 , 45 lber off Wilby shoals last July , and a 20 lber off Epsom last August , there’s a few out there. Two jigging shimano goat falls , one mooching live herring

Like Aces I want to troll for salmon without the in-line flasher this season. I intend to utilize the Kone-zones that have been weighing down my spare tackle bag for several years now. I may be able to double up on my goals if I can get something on a plug.

I also plan to join the fray at Sandheads this September if the season and the Chinook cooperate.

- Fish Barkley for the first time
- Dedicate more fishing time to, and get better at finding and catching lings
- Continue to improve my bait fishing game (chovies and herring)

Last year was a banner year for our crew catching salmon jigging. Had never spent much time trying it prior.

This year would like to continue that trend and also catch a chicken or two...

Were you purposely fishing Hali or were you trying for other species?

I'm guessing the Epsom halibut was one hell of a surprise off live bait!

Work, work and more work...then some more work. My strategy is to keep working until my work turns into my hobby and my passion blends the two into 100% of my iluminated path. I beleave that I am getting there. The best part is all of the amazing people that are here, there and all around who are incredibly pasionate about our community and whom are truly excited to be part of what we are building. My true, real and ultimate hope is that all fishing sectors will have an amazing harvest season and that eventually we all get to rcognize how important it is to continue to do our collective best to work together in order to have a reasonable expectation of success, while participating within our shared fishing culture and all of the abundant resources that surround us all.
