I have a question for all those people familiar with fishing this area. I am trying to understand the closure boundaries that define the area where you can continue to keep Chinook after August 1st. I have been told that the line is approximately 1 mile seaward of the surf line. However there seems to be another area that is open for Chinook landward of this line that allows 2 Chinook per day under 77cm from August 1st until October 15th? There is a pretty clear map provided by DFO that shows this however the written description is somewhat contradictory to the legend of the map. . .am i missing something here? are there actual markers and/or coordinates?

here is the map and written descriptions I am talking about:

Outside of the line that is 1nm from the surfline, you can keep 2 chinook per day all year as long as they are >45cm in length.
Inside of that line, you can keep 2 chinook per day from Aug 1 - Oct. 15 BUT, the chinook must be larger than 45cm in length and shorter than 77cm. 77cm will equate to around a 12lb fish where as 45cm is about 2.4lbs.
