Great mention! I often feel like I need cut clips assuming people don’t want to see the longer video form… but perhaps I should? Thanks for watching and the comment! J

Another super cool video 💥💥💥

Awesome video! There's no better feeling when a salmon hammers a jig! 🙌 we're heading out for an evening fish tonight!

You have a kayak here in Nanaimo?

Try fishing at East Sooke, its the best time of the year and start your way at Cheanu Marina to Beachyhead. I like the Clarity of your video, truly enjoying to Watch.

Thanks for the feedback and suggestion! I’ll try that area if sooke when I get out there, not sure when yet. Have you ever fished the Chum in the Sooke Basin from a kayak?

Great job! Ever think about switching to a casting reel? Much easier on the drop and line counters could be to your advantage. Fish on!

Beautiful British Columbia…………That’s an understatement…………

Another Wonderful kayak fishing, I hope I can see you kayak fishing in West/North Vancouver sometime soon. 😃( cuz I live not far away from there ) I wanted to move to Chiliwack from Burnaby before but after I watched your kayak fishing videos, I have changed my mind moving to Nanaimo 🤣 ... Did you use L'il Nib Jigging Lure? If not, what did you use? If so, I would like to know what SIZE of L'il Nib Jigging Lure did you use? 2.2oz? 3/4oz?? or 5oz??? 😁

@BCFishingJournal

Yes, using Lil’ Nib 2.2oz. If your fishing deeper with more tidal current, use the larger one.

Awesome video what pound test do you use when catching these salmon in the ocean

Thanks for the feedback! I have 40# braid as my mainline which is important for fishing deeper and no stretch in the line for hooksets. From the mainline I have a duolock (swivel) that connects a 20#-30# fluorocarbon leader (roughly 4 feet long).

Thank you for the video! What brand is your kayak? Are there any pedal kayaks that you would recommend?

@BCFishingJournal

11 ай бұрын

Hey! Mine is an Old Town (brand). Salty 120 PDL (model). I’m looking to make a video on the full breakdown on my kayak and accessories. It really suits the type of fishing that I do on the ocean, and it certainly more than enough for any lake. As for recommendation, I’ve never tried any other pedal kayak than an Old Town. But I love their peddle drive. And I like the price point compared to Hobie, which was too much for me at this point.

It’s a blast! Feeling the strikes makes it one of my favorite methods.

How do you know how much line to let out? Also any suggestions for lures?

I usually get the jig to the bottom then work it through the water columns. Lures I like are Buzz Bombs & Lil’ Nibs.

Launch out of Charlaine Ramp (near Pipers Lagoon). Easy access to the water there and parking available. You can go right out and fish or kayak along the coast.
