Nanaimo BC on Vancouver Island offers some of the best Kayak fishing! #kayakangler #kayakfishing #outdoors #Vancouverisland #fishingtechniques #hobiekayak
Thanks!! I live so close to the water and lucky that when I want fish for dinner, I just go get one which feeds my family! Thanks again for the comment!!
Great job mentioning the life jackets. I wear mine religiously. Great video. I fish the same area in my 420 HD Stryker inflatable. Maybe see you out there sometime. Cheers and tight lines.
Thanks for the comment! Funny I was just fishing in Campbell River and a local asked me why I was kayaking there given the strong currents in the water. He suggested I fish in Nanaimo instead..
That was you I saw out on the water, your kayak is super visible at distance. I was at Rocky Point, I hooked onto a massive Chinook and it broke off my 20lb leader. Hope to see more uploads.
Thanks for the inspiring video. I’m 6 months new to Nanoose bay and in the process of setting up my Aquaglide inflatable kayak for fishing. Hopefully I will be getting out soon to give it a try.
If you're using an inflatable and can't set up a Trolling rail, you can use a dispy diver! They go down about 60 to 80 feet where the coho are. Green spoons work like a hot damn!
I actually scared me lol. I was not expecting that. There is massive bait balls in the bay right now. Herring bubbling on the surface yesterday morning thanks for the support as always Jesse! See u out there!
instead of using a Scotty Gear Head for your downrigger check out Scotty 343 Locking Gunnel Track Mount, its got two t-bolts instead of the one that the gearhead has
Hey thank you for the tip! I just ordered one after reading your comment! Didn't even know they existed. I figure this will be a game changer, the single Scotty mount has a lot of give which gets annoying.
@@keeponfishing9189 cheers, ya I ran to crappy tire to buy one the moment I hear about them. They sit flat and have alot more surface area in contact with the kayak too, much more stable, especially when cranking up the cannon ball.
I recently just got myself a fishing kayak, and im heading up to nanaimo next weekend, any suggestions for salmon trolling? Also whats a good depth to troll at?
Actually to our can drop a prawn trap in the area where I filmed this video. I fish off Rocky point at neck point park. Drop a trap around 1km off the point in 300 feet depth.
I have not from a kayak, I've just seen a number of prawn bouys set in that area. I also believe there is specific dates when traps can be set so check the DFO regs before heading out! Let me know how it goes!
Lived in Blaine during the Wuhan Flu. Never took advantage of the waters up there like this.. I wasted some valuable time.. very cool, man. Good call about Life Preservers..
Salmon are abundant here, they just increased the Chinook limit to 2 per day but I think still a slot limit of 10 for the season. A lot of the hatchery Chinook are from Washington! Thanks for the comment and yes, so many guys here on kayaks not wearing them. Just dumb in my opinion.
@@AaronSprague1 I fish on a boat as well with friends, kayak fishing is a different experience for sure. Different catching a salmon on a kayak vs boat!
@keeponfishing9189 Me too! It's the challenge, physicality and quiet experience that you don't get on a boat. Boats have their perks too don't get me wrong. It's just annoying to hear constantly that boats are better when they first off are incredibly expensive. There are fisheries where kayaks excel even better than boats too
