Fishing tunstall. Flat calm and quiet. Seen 2 shakers released.

Anyone having success?

If you see this boat do anything suspicious....or fish in a closed area....ORR. They are multiple time offenders and were stopped and busted for Fishing without licenses and Fishing in closed areas. The operator of the vessel is the guide. The Marina where this boat moors continues to allow them to moor, despite complaints which have been brought forward.

Same old outfit with the white kingfisher and the Grady that sank a couple years ago. Proof positive that dfo has no teeth to deal with commercial poaching operations.

But they will pull traps in a closed area? Seems like they are very selective with there enforcement.

That boat spends a lot of time on the reef over at entrance

Think it all depends where they are unfortunately

Sickening.

Call violations in every time. Their “luck” will run out eventually. A little harassment may also dissuade.

PS - 2 coast guard vessels were on the prowl last Sunday. Good to see a presence in the sound.

Where is the boat moored?

Milltown as of 3 days ago. A few boats in there associated with this firm....can’t miss them.

Anyone been fishing ?

 

[Admin]

This derail of the reports thread comes up every year. This is for fishing reports...not reports of potential illegal fishing activity. Those reports need to be made to the proper authorities and be left out of this fishing reports thread.

[Old Blue]

Might be worth a pass along Bell Buoy to the last mile marker on your way in

 

[63stingray]

Ya I got two last Monday in that area I out the crab traps down at the end of the day for 45 and decided to troll for the soak time and it said off and got some decent size crab

 

[63stingray]

Finally replaced my prawn traps and rope lost a couple of months ago off south Bowen. As a heads up I had 3 traps on the line and doubled orange buoys. 2 traps were the round collapsible kind and one was the round commercial type, just in case anyone out there happens upon them. They were well marked but I assume with the weather it's worn off.\

Here's a question: Regulations say 4 prawn traps/person - does this include dropping the traps or just the pick up?
