The best. Thank you.

@@KevinOetting-p4l It was definitely a grind. Thanks for watching!

@@kevinbustard3270 The meat is so good!

Thanks. It's a Vortex Diamondback HD Spotting Scope - 20-60X - 85mm/Angled. Honestly, I haven't used it much yet.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the tips! I do use them with the jigging action sometimes too. I’m not sure if I show it in this video or not. If I remember correctly the small one that gets away was caught was using the method you described. We only got into the buzz bombs a couple years back. Thanks for watching!

@@Matt.Seeks.Adventure Thanks for your reply. I find a 2.5" seems effective in river mouths or shallower spots. It generally gives me more time for the buzz bomb to flutter. A heavier size will sink a lot faster, not allowing me time to get the correct action from fear of hooking on bottom. Sorry, I'm not trying to sound like a know it all. I just know that using a pink buzz bomb for pinks off the beach, so many times they would hit as it fell through the water column without even making my first reel turn of the handle. Such an amazing feeling! It's so exciting casting buzz bombs in front of jumping coho and pinks! Very nice trip you had!

@@bigbc5293 lol, my cat too! And me too! Thanks for watching!

Lol, yeah. It been repaired since then. It’s a nice little hunting rig, small, quiet and capable. The only downside is it’s age.

@@wesyoungquist393 yeah, definitely right for the price… upgrades coming in 2025 hopefully.

Thanks!

Thanks for the kind comments. I’m glad you enjoy them!

Probably should have pulled that salmon ashore instead of trying to grab him 3 years ago

Where on the Island

@@chrisburgess6964 South Island

Yeah, we love fishing beachy. We will see you out there!

@@l-train3430 lol, yeah, trust me is a reoccurring topic of discussion for me. Haha.

Thanks! Just like and subscribe I suppose!

There’s a small area in 20-5, we call it the triangle. Hatchery only. Aug 1 the rest of the area 20-5 opens and you can keep wild and hatchery 45-80cm

If you are curious it’s from notice FN0291, “Subarea 20-5 (portion of Beecher Bay): Effective 00:01 hours April 1, 2024, until 23:59 hours July 31, 2024, the daily limit of Chinook is one (1) Chinook per day, hatchery marked only. These measures apply in the following waters: That portion of Subarea 20-5 north of a line drawn from (48°19.554'N, 123°37.768'W) to (48°19.589'N, 123°36.533'W) then following the shoreline of Frazer Island easterly to the RCA boundary at (48°19.700'N, 123°36.267'W,) then to (48°19.633'N, 123°35.681'W”

@@Matt.Seeks.Adventure ok thanks I’ll have a look

@@AlHutchings Yeah, it can be a bit much especially for someone who didn’t grow up doing it. I feel people that having been doing it their whole lives take what they know for granted. They don’t realize what they have retained over their lives / fishing careers. Lots of people fish the same spots every year the majority of their life. The regs generally stay the same. Tight lines! Thanks for watching!

@@fishingbcwithcj yup

Here in BC we legally have to use a descending device. I don’t think I showed it in this video but you can see me using it in my other videos. The best practise is to keep the first rockfish you catch, but sometimes when they’re small and showing no signs of barotrauma I’ll just put it back with the descending device in hopes of catching a bigger fish.

Lol, don’t give me any ideas!

Yeah, you can usually tell what you are pulling up. Splicing double braid is on my list of things to learn. I have asked a few navy friends about doing it, no one seemed super confident. One day it'll just be done...

Just a merman 🧜‍♂️!

Offshore from Victoria, BC.

The perfect white meat for traditional fish and chips.

Thanks! It's similar to cod or halibut, just a bit tougher. It's best fried of course.

Do you bleed your fish? Congrats on your boat. Very nice

@@kevin6385 Thanks! Yeah, I usually cut the gills, and throw them in some water.

Thanks!

Yes Chief!

Yeah, it was amazing!

Glad you enjoyed it!

The debate is ongoing.

Well it’s not Steven Hawking, lol.

Haha thanks!

Appreciate it!

The 1995 Geo Tracker!

Truth. Lol.

Definitely lots of bears here on Vancouver Island, most people walk road and check logging cuts. Yeah, it could be tricky finding them in the woods without dogs or bait. Best of luck to you.

Yeah me too! it's Zachariah Hickman, I found his stuff in the TH-cam audio library.

@@Matt.Seeks.Adventure Leaning on the everlasting arms, an old classic Christian hymn. I'll have to look for Mr. Hickman.

Yeah, that's exactly what someone taught me to do. We didn't bother with the small one on this trip but if you check out my 2 day hunt from April, that's exactly what we do. Glad you say this, makes me believe I think I know what I'm doing, lol. Thanks for watching!

@@Matt.Seeks.Adventure Cheers!
