Hey guys,
Been following the forum for a while, finally decided to sign up. I recently moved to Vancouver from the prairies and have decided to take up fishing as my newest hobby. I have purchased a Sea Eagle Foldcat inflatable pontoon fishing boat that I recently tried out with great success on the lakes in Whistler. My next adventure will be to take the boat on the ocean; I have a 55lb MinnKota Riptide motor so the salt won't be an issue. I will obviously be staying relatively close to shore as the boat is not big and fairly susceptible to winds (not currents so much as it sits on top of the water).
I was hoping that someone could help me out with some beginner tips for saltwater fishing close to shore. I am not sure where to start, what species to target, or even what methods to use. Ideally I'd like to target salmon, but I'm not sure how realistic this is.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
