Vertical Jigging Pinks - One Lure to Rule them All 

Great question. I’ll say most of my trips are max 4 hours so I plan ahead and look at the wind forecast via Windy app. I’ve cancelled trips when the wind changed, and usually avoid anything over 12-15 km winds. When I have hit some surprising weather, I just slowly make my way back while properly positioning my kayak into waves. I haven’t been in anything major but I’ve also got a VHF radio on me and a lot of extra safety gear. You don’t see that in the videos but it’s there.

I'm fishing out of the general Nanaimo area. Feel free to shoot me a message on IG or FB.

For sure. I’m planning to do a full video on my kayak setup firstly, but can plan a rod/reel video after.

Thanks for watching and the comment. And I'll check out your channel! There are some beautiful pieces of water around your area.

Mainline is 40# braid, leader line is 25# fluorocarbon. It’s overkill for these pinks, BUT necessary for any toothy lingcod or bigger Chinooks.

@@BCFishingJournal thank you

@@BCFishingJournal 20lb mainline and heavier duty fluorocarbon for the toothy bottom fish works great..! The thicker mainline can give you trouble when the current is strong. Tight lines!

Haha! I bet they do.

Of course! Good times.
