From my quick glance at the notice, it looks like the area around Steveston and the Fraser River.
I did not see anything that said Howe Sound or Bowen Is. was closed. If you are planning on fishing, check the notice and read it all.

yeah, we did about a week ago is when I noticed it. What impact does that usually have on the fishing?

im grasping at straws here....but for some reason i remember reading that the plankton blooms and the departure of the "mature" feeder springs on their migration were related, a signal of some sorts. In other words, its a bit of a lull between teh departure of the feeders and arrival of the large runs....
i could be waayy off in left field with this though...

that seems to make sense, seeing as the fishing is slow when the bloom happens....

Went out Sat. around Bowen. We got 2 shakers. Prawns seem kind of small this year? Crab was in good shape.

I am using spoons or anchovies, but lately I've used army truck or green glo spoons. Still no luck! I am possibly going out tomorrow.

Scoopy. Try to find the guide boats and follow them around from a respectable difference. That's how I learned to fish. I started out as a total noob 4 years ago and I've had much better results by figuring out why they fish where they do.

Thanks Mortician, I sorta do that when I can, without getting to close. What boat are you out there?? I have the 16.5 ft campion centre console.
