100%. I foresee a lot of "two day trips" happening right off the bat.

Where is this cabin and do you have room for a 24' pursuit and a 5'11 man?

Bell buoy shows in 29-3 on my chart. I'm sure they will be monitoring with laser precision.

Thrasher will be interesting. Part of it is open July 15, move two feet and your into the non retention until August zone.

That’s right, just make sure you buzz thru the legal areas on your GPS, hard to enforce

Stupid boundaries should of used the valdez line like last year makes much more sense.
I'm certain they have had Area 17 open and 29 closed in prior years ........ and I don't recall any reports of enforcement being an issue (meaning people being harassed about where they caught their fish on the particular day). Unless enforcement is going to be ramped up at the boundary of 17 and 29 (Thrasher area) ......... its going to be the usual honour system, no? Unless they are right on top of you when you hook a fish and/or land one ........ falsifying your record of catch is more about the person fishing than it is about the ability for this to be enforced ....... that said .... wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of getting caught trying to skirt the regulations. Can't wait to get out there as we've not gone out this year ....... catching and releasing is just too much mind trauma to go through .... cuz the catching is few and far between even when retention is on ..... and in my way of thinking .... a keeper on the line is a keeper hopefully netted and going for a boat ride home .... lol. Fingers crossed that the information gathered through this season will have DFO modify/relax restrictions a bit for next season as in not completely shutting it down ....... but allowing for retention of one chinook from May on. All revved up to get back out there ........ think I learned a few things last year and want to see if it was fluke or actual acquired skill .... lol. Next week and on will hopefully be reporting success ......... need to top the 15 pounder caught last year ........ a 20 lb would be AWESOME !
