You won't find a website posting lat-long for any "salmon" or "halibut" fishing areas? There are probably more posted on here than anywhere else. And, after "many" discussions on here with individuals that have spent their "life" finding these spots and trying to make living at it - I repect their position and will not publicly post any more exact lat-long's.
But what you are asking is usually freely provided in PM's? Plus, if you are given the area (eg "Whirl Bay") what more do you want? You don't have to go any farther than "google earth" to get any lat-long? Just put the curser over the location and look on the bottom of the page!

Been out to Constance twice this week, no luck. Using large herring and octopus.
Can anyone help me out and give me a general area to get a few crabs when my folks come across, I've given Pedder Bay a try but someone told me the area is not clean? Don't crab that much but would like to get a few for dear ole dad. Thx
PS: I'm the one with the white Thunderjet if you see me out there, I need all the help I can get

Hi - dont worry keep trying with the hali. I have not caught any in the last 4 trips but the 5 trips ago I got two. It is a steep learning curve I reckon.
The far end near the outlet of Sooke Basin has always been good to me for crab but perhaps that is because of all the septic tanks and runoff [8D] look for the other crab pots.
Crabs off of the green bouy off of Victoria harbour are OK. I wouldn't worry about "polluted" crabs in Pedder, they commercially harvest there. By the time a crab gets "polluted" enough to not eat, the damn thing is dead, as you only eat the muscle, not the guts and whatnot like a bivalve.

Hmmmmmm, yet they warn us of PCB's in fish back east where we are only eating the meat.
LC is right...the crab meat is fine. Almost all PCBs are concentrated in the crab hepatopancreas (aka liver). It's essentially a contaminant filter. There have been a number of studies on this. In fish, as PCB levels increase we do see elevations in the liver as well as the muscle.
Tough to be at work ~ wish I had an actual fishing report instead of this tidbit of info.

Transport Canada initiated a study on fish, crabs etc from Portage Inlet to approx. the breakwater in 2006 and the results showed clearly that the crabs (fish too) - even though you can detect a slightly higher contamination level - are absolutely fine for human consumption - even from places like right under the West Bay Marina floats, Inner Harbour, upper Gorge etc

Beemer, that is an excellent site, makes it a lot easier to get an idea about the locations that are mentioned in reports from areas that I don't usually fish.
Thank you for sharing the link!

Out at Constance for a couple of hours this afternoon. One spring in the boat within the slot. Got probably 15 cod one right after another in about 100-120ft of water on a blue/silver squirt. Was a little lumpy out there. Wind died down at about 2pm for about 45 minutes and then started to blow harder after that.
