WE MOVED to Vancouver Island! Changes for the Channel.

Ahoy! It's Jesse here from BC Fishing Journal. Welcome back to the channel and

if it's your first time here, man, massive welcome to you. It's been a long

time since I've done a video here and I thought you know what it's time for an update video. So there's been so much going on in my life these days, man, our

family has had a massive change in the last year. Number one, our biggest change

is, well, we have moved to Nanaimo. So we've left North Vancouver and we have a

place here in Nanaimo which we are absolutely loving it. We are now

islanders. It's crazy to think that. And so we're, this last year, we've just been

adjusting and you know building community and yeah just really exploring. What does that mean for fishing? New rivers, new lakes, ocean. I'm fishing a lot

more on the ocean which is pretty cool. I have some friends here who have boats that have been taking me out which has been such a blessing. So that's been

really cool. And speaking of boats, biggest change number two, I actually

bought a boat. I've got a an old classic Boston Whaler, a 17-foot Montauk and I

am so excited to get that thing going. I'm slowly picking away and working on it. It's in great shape but actually the one thing it does need is it needs a an

outboard motor. My motor is not working so I need a new Mercury outboard

Something like 70 to 115 horse outboard. So if you know one, man, let me know

because they're hard to come by. I'm not super mechanically inclined, let's just

say that, but it's been something I like to learn about. So maybe I'll do some

videos on that too and I'd love any input that you guys have on that. And so what does this mean for the channel? What does this mean for BC

Fishing Journal? Well, it just means a couple of different rivers, new lakes, new

waters, a lot of the same educational content. I love that sort of educational

focus and lens when I do videos. It's gonna be more catching cooks. I love

cooking, trying new recipes and so I'll be doing a ton of that as I do. Yeah and

so I'm hoping to get out more content more often so now that we've kind of

eased in and starting to feel our way around here I should have more time so we'll see. I mean I do have two boys that are seven and five and they keep me on

my toes and as of recently we just got a little chocolate lab puppy so my

goodness like that adds a lot to you. So as you know if any of you are dogs, dog

owners, you know how much work those little puppies are. So anyway what I

thought I'd do tonight is just wanted to give you that update, that status and

maybe share just a couple of videos of a few ocean trips that I did with a buddy

of mine. He's taking me out in the last couple weeks and we've done some Chinook

fishing and coho fishing and actually we literally just did it like right over

there. We were literally catching fish just over at that island right there so

it's all right in my backyard. Really cool. So here's a couple highlights from

those two of those trips. Hope you enjoy. We're using a little hoochie there. Not a very long leader

We're using a little hoochie there. Not a very long leader

We're using a little hoochie there. Not a very long leader

Non-stop. It's been like this. We've been going for about an hour and if the rod

doesn't go off in two minutes something's wrong. It's great. See that's a hatchery? We should be able to keep these ones. This is a Washington

fish. No reason we shouldn't be able to keep that fish. It's crazy. It's crazy

Those hatchery fish we should absolutely be able to keep. DFO just brutal call

You guys already know that. But we're having a good time out here. We're

smashing Chinooks non-stop. I've lost track of actually having to be brought to the boat

There's the Namo. It's gorgeous. The wind chill seems right there

Although you are magnificent and fun to watch. Wow. Look at the size of that guy

Okey-diner. Come on dad let's get him. Doing a good job

If you slide up to the right I'll net him. Oh yeah. Take your time

Careful not when you're ready. I'll tell you when to lift. Keep reeling. Keep reeling. Keep reeling

You got a real nice cliff here. You got to lift up

This is a slot. This will work. I think this is it. Let's do a quick measurement

Oh he's perfect. We got him. He's 70. 70. 72. Perfect. That's a perfect slot limit boys. That's what we want

Ring the bell. Look what I came in. Came in the old plug. Oh you've got to use this thing

Hold on. This is going to dunk with this. Listen to the sound of this thing. Ready

Very satisfying. Yeah. That's a nice. That's a beautiful one. Alright boy. The bite is on now

The bite is on boys. Look at this fish. Woo dad. Show that one

We caught it right in the perfect scenario. I should probably put my foot down

Look at that. Just bleed him and then we'll. That's a perfect slot limit fish right there

Look at that. Happy guy. Nice. Awesome. Alright. Thanks for coming back to the channel guys

Miss you guys. And always love the comments, interactions. So looking forward to getting back

and doing some more stuff in front of the camera. So yeah

Alright. We'll talk to you soon. Woof
