Non Stop Coho right in front of Sooke Harbour today. Several clippies, the odd one starting to be bigger.

Was out this AM, Coho was decent off the harbour 350-500 feet. Better earlier got slower as the AM went on. Small spoons

I think you will find the answer to be "IF you can't follow the rules the rules will be changed to allow no fishing". SOrry, it seems like a waste, but it is clear that Ottawa doesn't want anyone who is not First Nations to be fishing these days.

There is no science behind the decision. It's to pacify a certain user group that is currently held in much higher esteem by Ottawa then the average Canadian. I suspect our data is being used against us. In Area 20 that time of year, that bulk of fish are over 80CM.. No hatchery fish has no...

Shitting on our SFAB volunteers and advocacy groups won't help anything. I've been a director of a local angling activist group. The amount of pressure we get versus support we get is a terrible inverse ratio.

It's clear the department is no longer interested in science based fishery management.

400,000 Chinook for Canada or Canada/US? I have a hard time seeing 400K Chinook for Canada rec fish in 2019

Brutal. Very bad. I have never seen a run be "late" when they were not where we expect them, not to say it can't happen.

Seagull is a marine mammal no?

Cabin fever folks? This has never been an issue. All my time guiding, with young children on the boat and DFO checking our catch at the dock. Yup, dock full of 40-80 lb hali with a few 5-6 year olds as part of a family outing. With limits most days, nothing has happened, the DFO people were...

Hope he works out good for repairs. . I've honestly found it better to sell my old reels for $60, and buy new for $120 every few years. Little bits and pieces add up, and let's not forget what the labour of someone who really knows those little things is worth. God knows I take em apart...

You are right. Currently, there are much bigger wheels that squeak a lot louder. Keep in mind the only MP that actually spoke to this that I am aware of was the NDP Fisheries Critic. That's how much recreational anglers matter to the powers that be. They are slightly more relevant then the...

Have been part of a few real and big protests on the South Island Area in the past. They got a little blip on the evening news. But if someone can block a railway line for a month by pretending to be First Nations, anything is possible.

It's anywhere 250-300 feet of water between COnstance Bank and Race Rocks. Fishes well on ebb currents less then 1.1KNT peak. It's a large area with not a lot of real "holes" but it does produce. Great place to fish if you are learning anchoring, currents are more forgiving the...

How long can it take to analyze last years catch data? There was none until July 15, unless I missed something.. First it was not enough heads turned in. Now not enough log books. Now it's just "because". There were sure lots of people watching the fish at the Fraser blockade. Since the...

I can see the pain in the poor DFO folks on the ground at these meetings too. Just having to shrug their shoulders and in a round about way say "This comes up from up top". Lots of good DFO people on our coast, it's when you get east of the Rockies the problems start.

I'm sure glad that they are making the scientific decision to close hatchery marked fisheries as well..

NIce!
