It's time to get this thread back on track. Your change of topic is an important one but not here.
Heard of some really decent reports from the past 2 days at the Bell Buoy. Springs to 18 pounds. Crabbing has also been very good on that side of the bay. It's time to get out there and file those reports ! Good luck.

Crabbing has been fantastic out there. Off Jericho and off the north arm jetty. A 4 hour soak and our traps were packed with males; all of legal size. some of them are still quite soft and I'd recommend tossing them back. There is very little meat in them and given time to grow over the spring should harden up nicely for July.

No, you must be thinking of somewhere else. Off the end of the North arm rock jetty where wreck beach is.

Isn't that Iona closer to T-10? That's where the pipe is.

Yeah, there is a treatment plant at iona beach, that must be what he's thinking of. I set my traps off the north arm, out from wreck beach. It's a popular spot with both sport and commercial crab fishermen.
The tides are pretty fierce with Fraser run off so pushes that crap everywhere in the area.You guys have any idea what gets pushed out of Burrard Inlet?

Out for the first time this year for a few hours around the Bell Bouy at noon.
Tried a few spoons out as I had no chovies on board.
Had one good bump on the deep rod
Not much chatter on the radio and didnt see any nets being used.
Pulled the crab trap with 2 keepers after a two hour soak.....dinner
Nice to be on the water

congrats on the fish! Were they at QA or over by Bowen? Would have been nice on the water I suspect
As for the images, do you have a flickr account or photobucket? If you dont you can still post a small image thru this site. When you post, scroll down the screen to manage attachements section. Click that and it is pretty self explanatory.

when you get the flickr, go to the picture and size you want, right click, click properties and copy the url. When you have the URL its easy.... paste url in message , in front type (img) and and end of url type (/img) I USED WRONG BRACKETS, you have to use these ones [ ] .

That's the boat alright. I would say it closer to 20' or so. Welded aluminum bowrider with a blue/grey painted hull. It used to have a 140hp honda but they upgraded to a new Yamaha 150hp last year. The boat is STILL there! They have seasonal moorage at the Sturdies Bay dock on Galiano Island and I can tell you first hand that I saw the boat there YESTERDAY! I didn't see anyone on the boat but I am very confident the 'guide' will be fishing again all summer long. If anyone does see him at the dock/on the ferry/etc. please try to take a look at what they are catching and report if needed. In the past I have asked him what he's caught and he acts like he knows the regs when we says 'no lingcod today as they are out of season' but the cooler often tells another story.

why doesnt someone leave him a note saying that he has been reported to DFO by multiple sources, and the we suspect he is still breakin regs . Also tell him that he will be watched by 100's of boats this summer, so don't even try and mess with the regs. Maybe fear will of others will be better than fear of DFO. Just an idea. PS a picture of him reading the note would be priceless.
