Still no Decision on SFAB Chinook Proposal?

Same old BS and generic justification, that appeases other sectors and yet again screws the public fishing sector and all the local communities and businesses dependant on the public fishery, rolled over for yet another year !!! :mad::mad::mad:

Add to this the COVID-19 lack of businesses and tourism and it is doubly hard for the public fishing sector this year!!! Wow... maybe we should be asking for subsidization like other sectors do when they are in serious economic trouble?
 
This is really just over the top there is so much less pressure this year because of covid.

How do they enforce that size limit? Looks like within the boundary of 1mile you can keep any size While outside you can only keep 80cm or less In the same area. If i’m stopped on the way home from Winter harbour how do I prove I caught my big fish inside and the small fish outside. Bunch of bull ****

Am I reading this right that south of Gower Point is not only closed to retention until August 31st but also to fishing?
 
Not surprised. DFO is getting used to bending us over and sticking it up our arse. Why stop this year! Sons of b**ches.
