I am curious to see how long the big lingcod will last now at Thrasher, every year more and more people including guides are taking them. I was there back in the 70's and 80's when guys would jig garbage cans full of cod, I give it another couple of years and it will be all shut down again. The fishers say it not ilegal and its not but same as the herring roe fishery that takes all the food from the salmon localy ,its legal as well but not right.

you know by making this post you've now told 1000's of people that there IS lingcod at thrasher. You may just cause more guys to give it a go while out there.
I thought about that but if you look on the fishing reports there are pictures of big lings and where they are thats why I posted. I'm hoping people will leave the big ones and only take what they need.

I would like to think so as well but.... You can hope in one hand and poop in the other and you'll find out which fills first.
The Georgia Strait Ling pop.. is stable and doing fine..DFO does a good job monitoring it..... all I would say is take what u need..don't take because its there to be taken..like all the other resources its a shared resource for all the share...
Oh right the DFO, yeah they are doing such a wonderful job with the fish stocks.How could they possibly be wrong.
I know why certain people would hate for there to be a ling size limit or closure.

Really? not quite what DFO says.The Georgia Strait Ling pop.. is stable and doing fine..DFO does a good job monitoring it..... all I would say is take what u need..don't take because its there to be taken..like all the other resources its a shared resource for all the share...
Lingcod stocks in the Strait of Georgia are considered to be at a low level of abundance, and since the early 1990's, commercial fishing for lingcod has been prohibited in all areas of the Strait of Georgia.

Given the relatively data-poor nature of this stock, the scenario-based approach taken allows the representation of data and biological uncertainties. Future assessments that seek to provide harvest advice should continue to consider a model-averaging approach that incorporates large structural uncertainties into harvest advice.

Tagging studies show that lingcod are largely non migratory and colonize in localized areas.
As long as they are off Thrasher, they will be fished out again NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.

Yeah DFO does a great job managing the fishery. East coast cod, west coast herring .. They've got a good track record, right?!

You are correct in saying they are monitoring it………..like all the other resources they monitored but never managed till they were decimated.
Without funding for enforcement DFO is just another leach sucking large $ from taxpayers, bureaucracy at its finest.
