I enjoy watching. You are a great fisherman. It reminds me of listening to you in between periods. Only now it's about being the most efficient fisherman. Love the channel

Try attaching an extra Scotty release clip to the handle of your net! Clip the net in the release, it will keep it out of the water until the weight of the fish releases the bag. Works like a charm!

[@ReelWestCoast]

Good idea! Will try it out for sure.

[@akneault]

Tips two and three were helpful for me the last couple of days! Thank you!

[@ReelWestCoast]

Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!!

[@MyConcreteGuy]

If you were not catching salmon, the water color would tell me you are in a tropical climant. Tips are great. Thanks.

This video was a great introduction to downrigger fishing for salmon in BC. Couple nice Chinook mixed in too. I think that lots of us take our experience and knowledge for granted. Gonna send this to new people before I get them out on the boat.

[@ReelWestCoast]

Awesome, thank you for sharing and I’m glad you enjoyed it!!

[@jegermiester1]

Thanks for sharing a couple of those "Duh, why didn't I think of that!!" moments, especially liked the one about checking your rig while still attached to the downrigger, awesome tip! 👊

[@martinflanagan2506]

Nothing like a double header with big chinooks peeling off the line, very helpful tips, thanks

[@ReelWestCoast]

It’s a good tip for sure!! Glad you enjoyed it!!

Deadly video used some techniques last night on the lake for sockeye run Northern Bc

[@ReelWestCoast]

Awesome, love to hear it

[@user-bf4hx7ni3q]

Mini scotty clip on net handle holds bag tight for one handed netting and let's the bag go as soon as fish enters net works great

[@ReelWestCoast]

Great tip! Will give it a shot

[@thorn11]

Great tips Brendan. I especially like the tip for attaching rod line to downrigger. BTW my nephews met you at the Abbotsford Trade Show. We are huge fans of your channel! 👍

[@ReelWestCoast]

Thanks for the support and thanks for watching!

[@freshcoastlife]

some good tips there!

[@sedricksmithe1829]

Wow excellent

[@ReelWestCoast]

Thank you! Cheers!

BMO, after retiring from being a Canucks Season Ticket Holder for 32 years and seeing your first career, it's great to now follow your fishing adventures on the West Coast. I hit the subscribed button. I've been blessed to fish these same waters with some good friends who are excellent fisherman, and even so we get skunked the odd time. That's regardless of if it's off the west coast of Vancouver Island, The Sandheads by Steveston, the Cap, or even Langara. Your tips should help those new to the sport.

[@ReelWestCoast]

Thanks for the support Jim. Glad you've been able to get out and enjoy our coast as well! Thanks for watching.

[@timothyanderson6512]

Man! Watching you rip the ice I didn't know you've made it even better! Fuck yeah can't wait to watch more!

[@ReelWestCoast]

Welcome to the party pal!

[@Mo_Taser]

Missed you guys. 👍

[@ReelWestCoast]

More to come!

[@wchdb4476]

I point the rod straight up and the line comes right to me to install in the release clip. When I deploy my gear and if the releasee clip slips out of my hand and ends up in the water, I use the rod tip and flip it back into my hand.

[@sinfulbeliever7083]

When pulling in your line to check if something bit or not its always best to pull it in and check the lure. Sometimes a fish did bite and the lure could be all jacked up or hook bent etc.

[@ReelWestCoast]

Yes good point for sure! Thanks for watching

[@WesleyManwaring-td7pb]

Great tips !! Thanks

[@ReelWestCoast]

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@darrengartner5038]

great tips BMo....thanks!!

[@ReelWestCoast]

Thanks for watching Darren!

[@123hardyklr]

Solo fishing with two downriggers is always an adventure. If I hook a fish I put it in the rod holder and deal with the other rod/rigger to get it in. If lucky the fish is still on. Any better way to do this?

[@ReelWestCoast]

It helps if you say a little prayer and maybe put in a mouth guard! If you find a better way let me know. Thanks for watching!

[@dougpowers6482]

Hey Brendan- Love the channel. Curious when you decide to use spoons vs. hoochies? I only have a single downrigger so it's one or the other. Thanks!

[@ReelWestCoast]

A lot of times it depends on time of year and the baitfish in that particular area. For example, squid tend to be around the West Coast of the island around the middle of June until the middle of July. This would be a good time to use hootchies. But, with that being said, hootchies can be effective in certain areas like Ucluelet or Bamfiled well into August. My preference is probably spoons. The Gibbs tackle Skinny G and Wee G have been a staple of mine the past couple years. I’ve caught more fish on those lures than anything else. Not even close.
