He's in Vancouver, an ocean in spitting distance.

I went out salmon fishing twice when I was a teenager, got up really early, sat in a boat all day, getting sunburn/windburn, dehydrated with about six lines in the water, and both days one salmon was caught. Most boring time I have ever spent.

Maybe if I ate fish I would fell differently but who knows.

Don't you have boys? How about fishing off a dock/wharf or a small boat? Bonding moment.

I have one son. He and I do other things to bond. I have no interest in fishing and he has not shown any either.

Small boys usually go nuts about fishing once they've had a fish on their line. Even my niece's 4 yr old daughter has.

I hear stripers love blood worms tho. Any suggestions that will help me are appreciated.

Keep in mind, besides blood worms being pricey, they are small. The bigger the bait, the bigger the potential fish. Blood worms or grass shrimp will get you smaller fish more often. Blood worms also bite.

/Sounds like you are in CA

yeah central CA. fishing in the Cal aqueduct

This is the other thing you may want to someday understand. Different people have different ways they like to spend their leisure time. It looks like you like to troll the internet during your leisure time. Others may like to relax with nature, and just relax. Many are happy with the fishing trip even if they don't catch anything. You might want to look up the difference between fishing and trolling sometime.

I fish quite a bit, the best advice I can give: Don't waste money on lures. You'll always be more successful with live bait IMO.

As far as stripers go, the winter is the best time to catch them, and particularly in deep water. We have 30-50 lb stripers caught regularly in the lake around here. They are usually caught in deeper water near a dam.

As far as Catfish go, obviously they are the vacuums of the water. They aren't picky and you can catch them with just about any type of bait. I've heard of people using rolled up balls of soap but havn't tried that personally.

Trolling is the lazy way of fishing. So, yes you can.

Fishing is so much part of Bay Area living. It's funny to hear a Vancouver guy say city people don't do it. I take it they go riot in the city of Vancouver for entertainment city boy style.
