Tucked away inside Princess Royal Island deep in Great Bear Rainforest, Klemtu is home to the Kitasoo/Xai’xais First Nation and some of the most amazing coastal wildlife…anywhere! All five species of Pacific Salmon run right by Klemtu’s doorstep, and a slate of apex predators help make these near magic lands come alive. From jumbo-sized coastal […]

Hawgust means a lot of things to a lot of people. But down Hakai way it means something totally different…like one of the last prime time chances to catch (and release) a Wannock River Chinook Salmon in the salt chuck. When August finally comes around and the Wannock River salmon of Rivers Inlet are making

There’s some beauty iconic adventures in West Coast boating and half-baked trolling: Gulf Islands hopping; overnight Albacore tuna fishing off Vancouver Island’s West Coast; cruising Great Bear Rainforest for the wildlife and giant salmon…and running British Columbia’s Inside Passage from Prince Rupert Southbound. For all intensive purposes and this diatribe, I’m honing in on the

200 episodes! It’s a daunting number and in a crazy age of television production and migration to all things digital and online, it remains pretty cool. I was fortunate to start Ridelounge Productions more than 25 years ago and produced Sacred Ride Backcountry Snowboarding Series and World Cup Snowboardcross and Mountain Bike for well over

Shearwater has remained an important piece of coastal infrastructure for a long time. With a marina and moorage, hotels, restaurant and full-service shipyard, the place has long been a key stopover for boaters, yachters and marine industry workers.

I’ve been incredibly fortunate to participate in the Percy Walkus Hatchery Broodstock Fishery for the past eight seasons in Rivers Inlet. But I’ve never been so lucky as this past summer to participate in the egg take on the Chuckwalla River! Located in Wuikinuxv Traditional Territory, the Percy Walkus Hatchery looks after the Chuckwalla, Kilbella

Like any good road trip, the run from Bella Bella to Rivers Inlet is a classic slice of navigating British Columbia’s Inside Passage and Great Bear Rainforest. Somewhere around 60 miles from Bella Bella to Duncanby Lodge can find you cruising in comfort or getting your ass handed to you by Mother Ocean. When the

As we really got rolling early season up in Prince Rupert and the Bella Bella home base set up for Spring and Summer, it was time to hunker down forSpring on the BC Central Coast. With the new Big Coast BV30 under construction up in Rupert, it was time to run a whole smorgasbord of

  It’s been a big year on the Big Coast with a whole lotta change going on! In addition to a move to some incredible new sponsors in Bridgeview and Mercury Marine, Big Coast set up shop and a new home base at Bridgeview Denny Island, aka the Bella Bella Cannery. Bridgeview Marine purchased the
