As a bird hunter I feel this deeply. I don’t even have a pointer but I will some day. I feel all of your frustration and failures that led to that point.
Live and learn i suppose. I will have to post how it tastes on here. My bear was mowing down the grass but was also taking in mussels and crabs too I’m sure.
I’ve heard they are great eating and they do group up well. Super fun to catch! Halibut are like reeling a wet sweat shirt but I’ll take...
We were scared straight by stories of guys going too fast in shallow water. We wanted to only extra expenses to be taxidermy and shipping meat home. One boat dinged two props going up Rocky Pass. That is the only boat mishap I heard of that week.
Thanks! I feel lucky to have caught one. It tasted amazing! Really nice texture. We never made it over that far. Would possibly run up into Duncan canal if I ever had the tag again. Looks like a cool area up in there.
I definitely plan to go with two other guys next time. That seems to be about right for the amount of tags and for being able to bear hunt efficiently.
Kuiu is next on the list for me. 3/3 kuiu tags were filled while I was there. Those folks saw far for bears than we did. How was your hunt? Feel free to pm if have time.
