I agree. I am sure given the numbers of people that fish Nanaimo it is well deserved.

I think there are more fish out there that we know of. Large schools of them moving fast. Just have to be at the general area. I don't think depth is too important as I've heard and seen them hitting anywhere between 100- 165.The season has just started and I'd bet it will be a GOOD one.Forecast so far looks REAL-NICE for the weekend but we can just hope till then!

Hi firelight, I can't seem to find anything about a closure in 29-4 or 29-5, I went on the D.F.O site and all I can find is 29-6 29-7, 29-9, and 29-10 closed. Could you tell me where you found the other closures
Thank-you

The only closure information we received was for south of Thrasher and the Banana area of the Fraser. There were no notices for 29-2 or 29-3. Portions (not all) of 29-4 and 29-5 are effected by the notice.

this is off the dfo site kinda in the fine print below the chart, I guess we need to plot the co-ord's to see how much of these areas are changed.

I just had a call from Todd at High Roller charters who asked "where are you and your boat"? He fished both morning and afternoon yesterday and boated 11 fish between 8 and 22 lbs. he started off this morning with a double header - twin 14s Not bad for Nanaimo. I sure wish I had started working on my boat a little earlier and had it ready. Oh well I will be in Nanaimo and on the water next weekend. I can't wait.

Heading out with Todd and 3 of my good friends (relatively new to ocean fishing) on the 16th so it should be a good time. I've heard good things about Todd thus far, it will be my first charter with him, and I'm definitely looking forward to it!

I am sure you will have a great time. I wish I was one of your 3 lucky friends. I will probably call Todd on Wed. while you are on the water for an update on Nanaimo fishing. My boat goes in the water in Nanaimo on Saturday - I can't wait.
