Is there a closure for tidal fishing in area 28-10 burrard inlet due to navigational closures. If so what does this mean? Only started fishing last year still a newbie.

I should add that flasher and spoon combo has outperformed everything else 2/1. Maybe because it's always out now . 6'-6" 40lb leader clipped at 10'-12'. Short I know but I guess they're liking the action.

Was up Howe yesterday, awesome day. Think I saw Rain City to start. Huge bait ball that shook the lines every time through it for 2.5 hrs produced only 2 shakers. Moved across the way and had much better action. Lost a good one and then bonked two, one over 10 pounds which produced some high fives!!
skinny G got the bigger one, hootchie nailed the just over one, both deeper than 200’ on the rigger.
Awesome day with a great friend, and thanks to Jason @Bonchovyfishingcharters for the tips!

Was out last spring fishing in Howe Sound with @Peahead. We had gusts up to 44 knots that day. We both agreed that was about as sporty as we liked it!

Looks like what would happen if Ferrari made boats. Congratulations, you have a real talent. Definitely a thread you should start!

looks identical to the aluminum ones that are already being built in China..... there’s a thread on here somewhere with a link to them.

Halibut Bank last night at 1:00am - 8 foot waves, 20 feet apart. I imagine that is the kind of weather that would even drown a seal. Sorry - no fishing reports. Decent weather & free time have rarely coincided so far this winter.

That is a boat for little small tiny people. No way a normal person could fit in there. Atleast your minnows you catch will look Like normal size fish. Haha. Cool design. What kind of power goes on it? 1/4 HP?

 

[hippaisland]

Dropped traps near tunstall and fished for 2 hours there. Lost one and that was it. Marked some bait. Mediocre prawn haul but enough for a couple meals. 8 nice keeper crap, few of them
