BC Wildlife & Coastal Scenery
Fishing on the British Columbia coast is about more than the fish. Over the years, we’ve captured some memorable encounters with whales, orcas, bald eagles and other wildlife, along with the coastal scenery that makes time on the water so special. Take a look through the playlist for a glimpse of what we’ve been fortunate enough to see along the way.

The videos show how we actually fish for salmon and some of the memorable days we’ve had on the water. Have a look through the playlist and join us for a few days on the water.

are there any videos showing, with details, where and how to anchor on “structure” for halibut. A side view simple stick man drawing showing the underwater contour, anchor location, fish location, and all considering the tides and direction of drifting? 200 300 ft depths
Gene thanks for the comment. I like to review a chart and look for a big flat spot. One of my preferred spots is on a flat bank that is about 200-300 feet deep, and dropping off to much deeper all around. In this case anchor in the middle of the feature and start establishing a scent trail. Another preferred spot is to find flat or slightly sloped water that is 250-350 feet deep at the base of a steep dropoff from a pinnacle. Anchor right at the base of the pinnacle and start the scent trail.
