OVERVIEW – Salmon fishingwas EXCELLENT this past weekend from Port Renfrew through East Sooke. Sockeye Fever has hit the lower Island although the numbers of sockeye caught this past week are down. There haven’t been too many big springs caught but they are still around. Some pinks and hatchery...

Hey guys, I wanted to see if anyone had some advice before I send these down riggers back again to scotty! Everything works fine, they come up fine but wont go down, I have to pull the line out with my hands to get it to go down. I have 10 LB cannon balls on? Is there something I can do myself...

A friend of mine hooked into 18 yesterday, up on the north island! They said they couldn't get those buggers off the downriggers! I thought the action was hot up there when I was up there 2 weeks ago, but it's bigger now:) Then he saw a native seiner do a food-fish set and it was nasty big haul...

OVERVIEW – Salmon fishing was EXCELLENT this past weekend from Port Renfrew through East Sooke. There are sockeye just about everywhere and more big springs. Some pinks and hatchery coho are also showing up in the mix. This should be another real good weekend coming up. Halibut fishing was GOOD...

More often than not I fish alone. I'd love to hear stratagies for netting a fish while you're alone and trolling. I generally use 2 downriggers and would prefer to keep trolling as I land the fish.

I would appreciate some help from the members here. I am planning with a friend to haul my boat to the Island for a single day of fishing – it will be a whirlwind trip but with our various family and professional commitments, it is realistically all we can put together so obviously we want to...

I've read about this for some time now and finally got around to doing a test. I guess it's best to be around .600, from what I've read. This test was done with metal downrigger cable. My question is, I have spectra on two of my downriggers and I was wondering if that would eliminate the voltage...
