I still have a soft spot for a 14’ Lund. The first half dozen times I fished Bajo Reef off Nootka were out of a 14 footer back before very few other boats went out there. That was before the advent of the gps and you had to know how to read a compass otherwise if the fog rolled in you would be just guessing which way was back to the lighthouse. In the early 90’s we landed well over a 100 Tyee fishing out of that Lund. Those were the hay-days of Nootka. For every Spring you got in the 20’s you got one over 40. The vast majority of the fish you caught were over 30.
Pretty sad that a decent fish in Nootka now is in the low twenties and some lodges only land a handful over 30 all season.
