Dude....unless you are going out in your "wee little" boat
this fishery is not open in the river or tidal waters of the Fraser as of yet. That is assuming you are talking about the waters more "local" to you.If you read the notice...take note of the areas on this map in area 29.

As to what to use....if fishing out in the chuck small pink hoochies will work for them. I am no expert on river fishing so don't ask me what to use.

You'll need some strong line ,preferably 80-100lb test spooled onto a heavy duty offshore reel.
use the biggest hook you can find and fish a long leader (don't bother to use a flasher.)
extra large herring and maybe a whole mackerel would be a good place to start.

Good call rs........I should also add to that to bring a BIG BAT to club them with as they are voracious little predators. [

Nice to be back from a 9 day trip to the east!!! Now back to fishing !!
All of area 29 is not the same as the old "banana" either. The "banana" as it was known had a larger area than area 29. As I recall Iand am pretty sure, the banana included inside (East) of a line from pt grey to OA then south to the TA bouy way out off Sandheads light. Area 29's western border extends south only from north arm Jetty to Sandheads light. South of that however area 29 western border does extend down to the western point of the canada US border ( 29-6). Not at all the old "Banana" area.

Sorry correction-- The whole of area 29 is not smaller than banana. I meant the sub areas of area 29 that were closed in the chuck earlier this year for the retention of chinook ( then the slot limit for first part of July) - those sub areas 29-10,29-9, 29-7 and 29-6 that were closed are overall smaller than the banana - sorry to confuse the issue.
is this the banana your refering to? http://www-ops2.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/x...m?pg=view_notice&lang=en&DOC_ID=126429&ID=all
