An old man once told me that if you stick a worm on a hook drop it over the bank you can feed your self for life. I tried it modified it and geez I am beating them off with a broom now.

Drifter, you won't find many blackies around Whidby. There used to be some migratory population years ago but over fishing and the loss of the kelp beds means very few blackies. You'll find them west of Seiku in big numbers. The rock fish that you usually find around the island are small coppers and they've been nearly wiped out.
