My just in case fishing licence

The above photo was taken on a trip I did last September. A big day of sailing in the Straight of Georgia before anchoring at Keats Island. I am awaiting a storm system to pass over before any adventures, and in my endless attempt for things to do I went online and purchased a saltwater fishing license. I even threw a lure over the side drift fishing style to test my old fishing rod and graphite reel here at the dock. I don't have any illusions of hooking a coho this summer but it will help pass the time on long tacks in light airs. I don't have a down rigger but I could try mooching or drift fishing style with a weighted line and a plug lure. I did price a down rigger at the hardware store at 200bucks. Might be nice to try the local style of flasher and hoochie lure off a down rigger.

It's been many years since I spent any time fishing. And many more since I actually caught anything. Not working has opened up a little free time in the next couple months to try fishing a little. I will buy some cheap weights, some leeders, and a couple lures tommorow. the down rigger and flasher set up may half to wait.
