I hope this video inspires more people to try out the kayak derby's in western canada! They are not expensive to join and such a blast.

I'm very excited to find out where the chinook came from. Could have come from oregon or alaska!

Exciting stuff!

Super fun!!! Can I ask you about the average cost of trip out there? And do they they have boat rentals for people who just want to sit and fish like that. I am not one for ocean swells but this spot looks exactly like what I been dreaming of. Send part 4!!

I'm not sure about if pacific playground has boat rentals but I know Oak Bay Marina and pedder bay marina on the south end of the island offers boat rentals for 35 dollars per hour. Fits 4 men but comfortable with 3. The swells are on and off depending on the day. So its kind of hit and miss!

Enjoy Part 4!

Maybe I am strange but I enjoy a good day of catching rockfish over salmon myself. You can catch so many different species of rockfish and they look cool. Plus I think they taste better then salmon

I enjoyed that last video
