DIY Fishing in Haida Gwaii

[rose]

Well, we just got back from Rennel Sound in Hadia Gwaii after an amazing family hunting and fishing adventure. Camping on the beach, fishing and hunting every day, exploring the shoreline and eating fresh fish and backstraps. What a cool place!

You can check out the fishing video here:

(the hunting video will come next week)

The roads were good, the main campsite by the boat launch was stuffed full and the other sites were occupied most of the time as well. We stayed out by Bonanza beach where the northwest wind kept our little 14' Lund off the water in the afternoons. Still we managed to catch a little of everything including the prized tin boat halibut.

Others that stayed by the boat launch and fished in the more protected waters fished longer and eventually caught their limits of bottom fish.

Awesome video. It's nice to see families enjoying this kind of experience. It's brings you back to reality of what's it's truly about just having a good time. Again great video and nice to see your family getting involved in the whole experience.

Great vid! Incredible memories for your kids. I don't even want to consider the logistics of taking 5 kids on a trip like that.

Good job on the video looked like you guys had a ton of fun. Any chance you can speed up production on the hunting vid? Lol!

[Mike_R]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Camped at that same spot many years ago. For safety's sake, I would encourage your children not to lift the fish out of the water with the rod. (If the fish shakes the hook, the hook can go flying!)

I look forward to your next video.

That was one of the most enjoyable things I've watched on here in a while. Thanks for sharing.

Top shelf way to go

[Whonnock Boy]

So, I just watched it again, and enjoyed it as much as the first time. Loved all the kids playing the in the kelp band. That was pretty funny. I do have one question though. What does your husband say after he sinks his lure into the ocean? :-o

[rose]

Um, it was not suitable for all viewers:)

[Weatherby Fan]

That was awesome, a trip your kids will never forget, I go to the QCI a few times every year fishing and it never ceases to amaze me,

you folks are great parents, thanks for sharing.

excellent vid and like others have said takes me back and peaks my memories.In the 70's I used to go to the sunshine coast to the end of the road at Lund and spend a month every summer.We fished Okeover inlet and lived in a hippy shack right on the ocean front,picked mushrooms and salal,and fished the ocean every day and
set crab traps
We'd go 2-3 days without seeing another soul,it was a simpler time and one Ive never forgotten and the scenery was much like the QCI's

[ElectricDyck]

Nice! Bonanza is beautiful! Did you carry the boat down the trail to the beach? Big waters for a little boat..gotta love the north east wind...We managed to get out to cone head a few times and I still cant get the stink out of my boat..but my memories will out last the smell :)

[REMINGTON JIM]

Friggin AWESOME ! I have being to Reynolds and Bonaza beach a LOT ! its Great there ! Nice to see the KIDS having so much Fun ! its till the " QCIslands " to me though ! :wink: lol RJ

[rose]

We actually stayed at the Conhead Rec Site, which is close to Bonanza Beach. We had a beach site, and had to carry the boat a short way down to the water. The campsite, private beach, and view was worth it!
