Fishing on Vancouver Island

Fishing on Vancouver Island can be great fun. For those who love to fish, that is! Take my dad, for example. Now there's a serious Vancouver Island fisherman.

When I was a kid, he used to head out in the boat with his buddy early in the morning with a huge cooler full of ice-cold beer.

You know, to keep all those fish cold on the way home ;)
