I've called the office and the machine says there closed until the 19th or something like that. Have you seen it with your own eyes ?

Dan pretty sure there's security around the clock at the front gate, pay them
Drove right down to the launch and the security person asked if I wanted to launch ... I decided not to because it’s was too windy that day and they didn’t have a dock to tie up to.

It's a bit of a gong show launching there in the winter, i avoid it till spring when they bring back the docks, just way more hassle then it's
worth, find it gets very lumpy there and hit with outflows hard...

I Would like to launch my 23 Striper Monday at Vanier Seeing the discussion about how nasty launching can be at Sunset I'd like to ask for your opinion about Vanier : should I be worried using the Vanier ramp? I have experience launching but I've never launched in wintertime
Thank you

It’s fine, good ramp. Pay parking. Use the north ramp if tides low.
Thank you !

I launch at sunset to avoid the long haul from downtown mcdonald Beach or in my case rocky point. Its true the summer docks aren't in at sunset but you just take the boat over to the fuel dock after launching and park your rig after if you are solo thats my experience there anyway.

Hit tunstall yesterday for my first time, we hooked up 3 springs, two really good scraps with a seal twice who robbed us, lucky enough to get our gear back, dropped to prawn pots in about 240 ft near tunstall bay, only got 5 prawns. not deep enough? or just wrong area. Beauty day on my buddies new to him 28 conquest. got to use his new scotty prawn puller his wife got him. works well

Fished the harbour yesterday from 2-4 pm with very little success. Started out west of the bell buoy and fished in past the mile markers between 100 and 180, then back out into the wind, trying to find the bait. Not much to be found!
Less than a week earlier I was out and bait was in clouds at a few depths, especially out deeper – 160+. Only found little pockets yesterday so maybe they've moved out deeper or dispersed? I'd like to hear what others found. As my dad says: fish swim.

I was out the last two days doing some prawning up in Howe sound. Not much to show for the effort. Thru a bunch of females back ended up with with maybe 75prawns out of 8 traps. Kind of sucks. Starting to think maybe my Baits no good. My prawn pellets are about two years old, does the oil in them go off?
