Capt Hook - the following is from a prior post of yours - "IF YOU CAN ......THINK BEFORE YOU POST !!!!! YOUR ATTITUDE IS "OUR " PROBLEM AND IT HURTS US ALL !!!!!"
Reading that might provide a good mental check for yourself (and us all). " ... think before you post ..." is a really good suggestion.

racist ? not.... but i do know if they had first nation tribal food fish permits , they would have to have the numbers posted on the side of thier vessel.
They had zero ID or numbers , name nada , zip zero on alum skiff...
I also know a few of the clan and know whats going
down out there. This is not food fish , it s being trucked right to the restruants....... oh geee is that racist comment?
I,m sorry you dont like what i have to say , Sculpin but sometimes the truth hurts.....

water full of scum and crap on lines to the point of having to hand pull the line clean
not sure if its algae or slime but even the rigger lines where getting smeg over them....lol
till next time
I finally got a chance to go out and enjoy the family boat on Saturday. After dropping the crab traps we decided to try south Bowen for a few hours. We setup shop on the east side of Cowen Point out of the wind. By noon it was like glass just in time for our hotdog lunch. With the BBQ smoking we got our one and only bite. 160ft on the rigger in 500ft of water with a green glow flasher and cop car coyote. White spring, no scale but figure it was in the high teens. Keep the posts coming! They helped improve on what was already a perfect day. Thanks!

there is also traps laid regularly form the bell buoy thru jerico with no floats on them. first time I saw a boat throwing a grappling hook and stayed close to see what they were trying to pickup eventrually they hooked their trap line and pulled ur in. Once they noticed i was watching started yelling expletives at me- Aluminum boat no markings no numbers. Got their load and headed around towards the river. Seen em several times.

Has anyone who's seen this so called crab poacher boat called DFO? In speaking with the Fisheries Officers out of the Squamish DFO Office they need reports to be called into Observe, Record and Report line. I would suggest anyone seeing suscpious activity phone it in. See below for more info:
1-800-465-4336 or in Greater Vancouver: 604-607-4186
An important goal of enforcement is the prevention of violations before damage is done. The watchful eyes of everyone can provide a strong deterrent to potential violators and stop offences before they happen.
Observe: Some common violations are:
•exceeding the daily limit
•fishing in a closed area
•using illegal gear
•damage to fish habitat and pollution
Record: Carry a pencil and record your observations
•Date, time and location (e.g.: nearest town, fishing location)
•Identity or description of violators (e.g.: height, weight, hair colour)
•Boat or vehicle description (e.g.: licence, colour, make)
•Evidence at the scene
•Action of violator(s)
Report
Violations should be reported as soon as possible to DFO’s ORR phone line:
1-800-465-4336
or in Greater Vancouver:
604-607-4186
The provincial Ministry of Environment has established a toll-free hotline, Report All Poachers and Polluters (RAPP), which allows you to report known or suspected poachers and polluters. For any fish, wildlife or environmental offences in non-marine areas, please call the provincial RAPP line at: 1-877-952-RAPP (7277)
The British Columbia Wildlife Federation offers rewards of up to $2,000 for information leading to charges being laid against a person harming fish and wildlife and their habitat, as well as to private property belonging to mining, forestry, farmers and ranchers or other private concerns.

Thanks for the info. It's a good idea to store these numbers below in your phone so you can make the call right away if you are witnessing something illegal. There is a boat in the gulf islands that does fishing charters and I've seen them with 6-8 guys jigging for bottom fish and keeping all sorts of undersized lingcod as well as small rockfish and greenling, etc. The groups would come across from the mainland for the day and head home with a cooler full of cod, etc., much of it undersized when I once peeked into their cooler. I will continue to look out for them and if I see them with illegal catch again will contact the ORR line below.
