Sound's pretty racist. Got any proof they were poaching?
Your personality on this site is starting to shine through.
Capt Hook - the following is from a prior post of yours - "IF YOU CAN ......THINK BEFORE YOU POST !!!!! YOUR ATTITUDE IS "OUR " PROBLEM AND IT HURTS US ALL !!!!!"
Reading that might provide a good mental check for yourself (and us all). " ... think before you post ..." is a really good suggestion.
I had to do the pirate thing once and I hope to never have to do it again. I did get all my prawn stuff back but I was shaking for 1/2 an hour afterwards. I couldn't even drive the boat I was so hopped up on adrenaline!!!!
racist ? not.... but i do know if they had first nation tribal food fish permits , they would have to have the numbers posted on the side of thier vessel.
They had zero ID or numbers , name nada , zip zero on alum skiff...
I also know a few of the clan and know whats going
down out there. This is not food fish , it s being trucked right to the restruants....... oh geee is that racist comment?
I,m sorry you dont like what i have to say , Sculpin but sometimes the truth hurts.....
there is also traps laid regularly form the bell buoy thru jerico with no floats on them. first time I saw a boat throwing a grappling hook and stayed close to see what they were trying to pickup eventrually they hooked their trap line and pulled ur in. Once they noticed i was watching started yelling expletives at me- Aluminum boat no markings no numbers. Got their load and headed around towards the river. Seen em several times.
I finally got a chance to go out and enjoy the family boat on Saturday. After dropping the crab traps we decided to try south Bowen for a few hours. We setup shop on the east side of Cowen Point out of the wind. By noon it was like glass just in time for our hotdog lunch. With the BBQ smoking we got our one and only bite. 160ft on the rigger in 500ft of water with a green glow flasher and cop car coyote. White spring, no scale but figure it was in the high teens. Keep the posts coming! They helped improve on what was already a perfect day. Thanks!
Wow.....We're a sticky post now! Let's get more reports going.
Has anyone who's seen this so called crab poacher boat called DFO? In speaking with the Fisheries Officers out of the Squamish DFO Office they need reports to be called into Observe, Record and Report line. I would suggest anyone seeing suscpious activity phone it in. See below for more info:
