Is it possible to fish for halibut and cod like that closer to Vancouver? I'd love to try that out but only have a 14' boat. Is my only option booking a guide or ?
Think they were fishing in the middle of Georgia Straight.
14 ft car topper or runabout? There are car toppers & there are car toppers.
Some better freeboard than others.
Had many boats & 14 ft car topper with 9.9 hp fishing at Howe Sound & English Bay ...hot calm sunny days...
And out in a 13 ft roundabout but after many trips /yrs of boating I can tell you it's very risky being out there with those sized boats. Winds can come up / currents / tide changes ...
If ya go out too often odds are ya may regret it.
As far as are halibut closer to Vancouver? Not sure on that one.
In vid though those halibuts seem to use their body shape to good use to make them difficult to reel in.
Ling cod ugly looking face. Like the Predator alien in the movie.
