for the gulf fishery the seine quota was caught, within 25 tons anyway, and the gillnet came up 200 tons short. I assume that is a typo and the 7071.509 number is the gillnet catch, sounds right. Hearing nothing but good things from the survey divers. Spawns all over the place in the non typical...

How did you get any of that from what I said? youre really reaching on this one. i'll try and clarify it one more time. Aquaculture pellets (exact same thing as prawn bait pellets)are just one of dozens of things this herring is used for. If they didn't use it, it would simply just get used in...

Riiiiight. Another useless point, do you honestly think that if they couldn't get pellets made from our herring leftovers that they wouldn't just source it from somewhere else?the belief that our herring fishery keeps the fish farms afloat and vice-versa is laughable at best. bet you don't mind...

well considering the quota they allotted was based on their original prediction of 54,000 tons, and as of right now it looks like somewhere in the neighborhood of 70-75000 tons ended up showing up, it sure looks good to me. even if all the quota does get caught which it may not simply due to...

Yesterday morning our boat (gillnet) officially finished up our 2020 herring season and man what a fishery it was! We worked hard and shook about 150 tons in 2.5 days of perfect fishing. The weather was perfect, the fish cooperated, no one got hurt other than some sore backs and hands, and there...

The Gold saw such little sport pressure the last few seasons it was open theres no way it had a significant impact. A Nice thing about the gold was that most of the major spawning areas are well above the boundary at the Muchalat so the same fish wouldn't typically just get hammered over and...

ugh good lord, all you are doing is quoting a bunch of generic , meaningless thoughts from some random person that lives around French creek. This means literally nothing. "horrifying how the herring have diminished in numbers"...ok care to elaborate on that a bit? maybe bring up some biomass...

EVERYBODY PANIC!!!! FOGGED IN HEARD THERE WAS ONLY 60,000 TONS ASSESSED 2 MONTHS BEFORE THE FISHERY BEGINS!!!! 'BbBbBuT iTs ThE LoWeSt NuMbEr In HiStOrYyyyy'. Riiiiight. that's an easy statement to make. they erred well on the side of caution with the official assessment numbers this year...

Taken pending pickup thanks!

Hey kevin sorry forgot to mention im in Nanaimo. Trophywife is next in line if it doesnt work out. pm me if you like

Ive got a caddis float tube I haven't used in 10+ years but its still 100% airtight and safe to use. maybe someone has a kid that's into lake fishing that could use it or if anyone has a better idea where to donate this thing? Just don't want to give it away and see it on craigslist an hour later.

not as flashy as an avet but ive had 2 of these that ive used the last 3 full guiding seasons, never even taken them apart once yet and they still run like new.

60$+ per ball no thanks. looking for someone who pours their own.

Looking for two 18lb cannonballs in the nanaimo/central island area. Thanks.

ideally 2 traps between 2 weights. a few links of galvanized boom chain works well. weight on the end of the line goes into the water, then your two traps, then another weight snapped on 10-20 feet above that, this helps your traps stay spread out when they land instead of just falling on top of...

I saw another map, as far as naden and langara go, the line basically goes from Edenshaw across to cape naden, then along the entire shoreline to langara and stops somewhere in Parry pass, the west side of langara is unaffected but the east side is. To sum it up, all of the common fishing areas...

wow Ive been away for a while but looks like Courtney is up to his old tricks under yet another name! i'll never forget the time he asked to take a pic with a steelhead I had just caught, seemed weird but ok, month later there he is in island angler posing with my fish passing it off as his own.

doesn't work that way with commercial fishing EI, hours don't mean anything, you have to make xxxx dollars to qualify.

wasn't sure where to post this but can someone recommend a good reel repair person somewhere between Duncan and qualicum. I have 4 Calcutta 200b's and a couple penn 2 speed halibut reels that are due for a good servicing.

has anyone seen a Pollock yet this year around nanaimo? not that I miss them, but after getting hundreds of the things over the last few years and not a single one yet this year, it leaves me wondering why. Oh yes and it is still very fishy out there, best ive seen in a few years out here...
