Chinook / Spring / King salmon from the "bare bones" (one of our rentals) Hobie Compass - after work, Sooke, Strait of Juan de Fuca, BC - Check out the rod! Due to a calf injury I'm "paddling" with the regular stock paddle (Tim MirageDrive-ing) and we set off just to jig for bottom fish. I've lent Tim my "rod" and grabbed a little pink rod/reel set up one of my daughters won years ago with 10-12lb line on it (heavier on the Buzz Bomb itself) Was NOT expecting a salmon!
