    Dummy flashers for sockeye

    Looking forward to us hopefully getting a sockeye season at mouth of fraser this year. Will be my first sockeye season. I understand the standard setup involves an array of dummy flashers. Has anyone tested to see how less effective it is when you aren't using any extra dummy flashers with...

    Is Lowrance Carbon worth the price over HDS gen 3?

    I have both.... unless you thinking waiting 2-4 seconds longer upon loading up the units is worth the price....I don't think it's worth it after having both units for past few years. Only benefit I can think of is the carbon can do chirp...not sure if gen3 head units can do chirp...but even if...

    Crabs..boil or steamed?

    I have always boiled my dungie crabs and found the meat to be flavorful with the unique flavors of a dungenous crab. I boil the entire crab... I know some folks remove the large top shell, clean everything out and then cook...but I cook whole and find it more flavorful. Yes it can be a bit...

    How is the east ramp at vanier? Is it also closed like the west ramp? What is the min tide in meters to launch a 20ft boat without issue or without going deep into the sand. If anyone has experience with that ramp let me know. Thanks

    2022 Vancouver-Howe Sound-Sechelt Reports Thread

    I haven't used the Vanier ramp is some time. I recall someone telling me the west ramp which is the newer and better one is closed and everyone is forced to use the east ramp. Does anyone know of what is the minimum tide level that I should attempt a 20ft fiberglass boat to launch or...

    DFO Announces further SRKW Restrictions

    My guess is this is just the beginning...next year, the yellow area in their map will be expanded or there will be more areas. Yet another BS restriction aimed at completely shutting us down...

    DFO Announces further SRKW Restrictions

    Let me understand this....dfo closed the north arm for fishing from Aug1-sept 30... is it because this is the only time of year that SRKW comes through that area? As soon as Aug1st hits the whales go on vacation there like Canadian snowbird go down to Mexico and Florida in Novemver? Oh, wait a...

    2022 Nanaimo Reports

    Silly question but don't want to mess up due to a interpretation technicality. When the regs state fishing for lingcod is closed until Apr 30, does that mean we can fish for them on Apr 30th or does that mean the start date is May 1st?

    Anyone successfully splice prawn line that can still be used through a ACE / Brutus prawn puller?

    You don't need any special tools...need nose pliers helps.... I've had no problems splicing 5/16 leaded line. If you splice it right it isn't much thicker than original... If you continue to have problems switch out the wheel for a bigger one.

    2022 Vancouver-Howe Sound-Sechelt Reports Thread

    Curious what percent of the fish are legal and what percentage hatchery? This is completely unacceptable why we have been closed down and cut off from opportunities where there is no scientific or any reasonable excuse ad to why we can't have access.

    2022 Vancouver-Howe Sound-Sechelt Reports Thread

    I am not filling it out. Sick and tired of playing the BS games from DFO. This survey is basically a death sentence asking us to choose between the electric chair, poison or a firing squad. None of which are good options. What a bunch of clowns.

    URGENT: Southern Resident Killer Whale Recovery - DFO Online Survey-Deadline March 2nd (Salmon Fishing Area Closures 2022)

    Correct me if I am wrong, aren't killer whales one ofbthr smartest nonhuman mamals on this planet? If so, would they not target some fat and slow seals and sea lions and get 50 times the calories from a single seal than solely go after Chinook? The idea that killer whales only eat Chinook and...

    URGENT: Southern Resident Killer Whale Recovery - DFO Online Survey-Deadline March 2nd (Salmon Fishing Area Closures 2022)

    I concur. The decision has already been made. The survey and them pretending to listen to what we have to say and to consider our proposals is all smoke and mirrors. We have gone down this road year after year and all the emails, voice-mail messages left on dfo and politicians office lines...
