Since you are going with the Canadian Princess, you will be on a boat with 24 other people all jigging the same lure, and all catching fish.

When you get on the boat, try to get on one of the corners of the stern, you'll tangle less.

Best advice to catch more fish than anyone else - Jig exceptionally hard and fast. As fast as you possibly can. It seems that the 24 other people jig in the same rhythm. If you're the one lure which is faster, and stands out - that's the one the big ones will hit. Send your lure to bottom, if it stops before bottom, reel up and set the hook - a salmon has hit it on the way down! Jig very aggressively on bottom for a minute and you'll likely hook up with something. If not, jig very fast and reel up to get into the salmon.

If you head out to Big Bank, you can expect Salmon, Halibut, Ling and Rockfish all day long. Prepare for sore arms. If it's too windy, you will fish the islands. Plenty, plenty of rock fish of all kinds. Vermillion are my favorite, the red and white beauties.

Have fun, it's a great trip.
