Probably not where the most productive fishing is on the coast of BC, near-shore, anyhow. Should be noted many of the popular areas where paddlers gather are pretty much fished-out for ground species (aka bottom fish), and some are in recovery mode (e.g., Broken Group). And, pretty strict size limits on ling cod and similar. Prawn traps are a real bonanza some places, if you can handle the 300-400 feet of line needed to get down to them. Red rock crab via traps are nice, in close. Dungies probably too deep for easy yak fishing, except in more sheltered, deep sandy-bottomed inlets. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
