Sooke Reports - Spring and Summer 2012
- Thread starter Last Chance
- Start date
Just got off the phone with DFO.
They have made a mistake in not updating a portion of their website.
The portion of website that says 1 wild/ 1 hatch total 2 will be corrected.
The Oct. 1 ruling is 1 wild/ 3 hatchery this year.
There is a fisheries notice available.
It is on website and copy is being e-mailed to me shortly.
Have at er!

Thanks for the clarification Tips.
This reg is in fact the same as last year. Makes sense this year as there are so many hatchery marked fish around. Last year we only caught one hatchery fish in four trips in the month of October.....so I don't think the reg worked at all vis-a-vis the discussion earlier in this thread......

and I refer back to start sifting through 50 to find 3 now...weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee 
I think this is crap given the #'s of clipped actually out there even if it does mean I 'could' 'potentially' take home 4 fish, but whatever.
Should have stayed 1 1 purely on what is out there right now.

Had to go to Renny today and it looked like the fleet was fishing west of Sheringham.LOL NOT
The answer is quite simple. First we need to find a way to change the "general revenue rules" and get sport license and stamp revenues out of that cesspool. We need to stress that we want that revenue out of there so we can substantially raise license fee. A license hike would be accepted by the majority of sports anglers if they knew with 100% certainty that all the revenues were going back into such things as.....marking every hatchery salmon produced in B.C. Only then will this clipped fishery work at giving us enough opportunities and to truly protect real wild stocks so they can recover.

Great day out there today. Dropped in at 9am at Beechy and got into lots of action by 1pm mostly 300-450 ft water. 11.5 wild was the catch of the day. all fish hit good and swam hard, most with acrobatic finish then straight into the net. missed quite a few on single hook and lots of hit and runs. anchovy outperformed for us to today as I too had some old bait to use up. been hearing good things on green combo hootchie's but notta for us today.

I figeur most of those Coho are U.S. hatchery,clipped or unclipped. That's why 47% of them are just out there for a free ride, and don't know how to put up a fight and could care less about contributing anything to support other's. 47% just want to hang out,eat, get fat, not fight or run when hooked, and wait around til" they get laid then go to sleep.
well then, just stop fishing for 'our' fish, simple solution.
actually september has been silly stupid easy bringing home clipped Coho. when Oct 1st came in, we can now keep clipped and nonclippe. 1.5 -2,0 hours is all it takes for a boat limit. if you folks would stop sounding like a bunch of old women chatting on the VHF and concentrate on fishing, you might also be home in time for breakfast.
