Just planning our first day out in almost two years and tried Google current tidal water regs available from DFO....do I get a result that offers anything remotely useful...no.
Go to their website and same deal...try and easily find the current updated "in a nutshell" regs for the Vancouver area let alone any area and they must have it buried deep in among the piles of other federal useless BS they have crammed on their site. It's no wonder people are fishing illegally. What a joke.
If anyone has the magical link would appreciate it.
Am I correct in springs not exceeding 85cm?
Thank you.

Download the fishing BC App its easier to navigate. Still can be tough to determine the exact regs, but easier than the website.

Went out early today to try and beat the wind. Took a friend along as well. I ran anchovies exclusively. Fished the flood at HITW and not a sniff. Moved to Cowan Point and went 0 for 5 on coho. Wind really came up and my guest was feeling ill so we pushed around to the leeward side of Cowan Point for a few hours. Nothing for us and didn’t see any activity among the boats that were there. Finished up fishing Point Atkinson to West Van. No hits and didn’t see any taken among the 6 or 7 other boats that were working the area. I was working depths between 20’ and 90’. Looking forward to this wind settling down - really restricts the options. Hope others had better luck out there today!

I see guys driving out of steveston area with trailer loads of salt ice. Not sure where there getting it from but I’m sure someone at the docks will know.

West van was good this AM. 4 coho.
Nothing at Bell.
South Bowen was slow. A few undersized and wild coho at Bowen.
So would recommend pink apt. 40’ anything green was working.

Is posting pictures of poaching boats allowed on this forum? I seem to recall them being removed as mods were fearful of getting sued/libel.
I have pictures of 4 boats.
I have observed 2 of these boats clearly engaged in illegal fishing/harvesting and reported to the ORR and met with some One in DFO. I also received a call back from someone about my report.
Happenstance....as serendipity would have it....I now know where 2 of the 3 are moored and none of them have any traps on board. I reported that the DFO as well.
I also have corroboration from a witness as to activities back at the docks and gave them they information.
I get the feeling manpower is an issue to nailing these dolts.

I’m going out tomorrow for crab and if things are ok and winds are calm will do some fishing in the morning. Do you guys monitor a channel , like 84 so we can share some local info on fish?

What's the worst that could happen they take them down? I'd love to see them. I'm a huge asshole and have a good arm.
