Our fight for fair fishing is not over ! From the look of how many boats were on the water later week at the Sandheads alone compared to how many have signed the petition its obvious some have not signed up and if you haven't you should be ashamed of yourself. So please sign it !
Lets all get involved and this is a start to show the Gov't we are not going to just accept one weekend of fishing. We all fish or none of us fish !

Thanks for posting the link, I had not been monitoring the form for a few months due to DFO insanity in their regulations.
I just signed the petition and I hope everyone that reads this signs it as well.

Ivory Spring is an upscale offering in the States (not the soap haha)

They actually market them as Ivory King Salmon. VERY EXPENSIVE in New York.

So does fish in the grocery store. That’s what I tell her(we are providers). Found one late this afternoon off pink apts. snuck our after work, tide still ripping hard so stayed away from cap mouth. Mid-high teens. Chovie deep. Wasn’t much going on for other boats by looks of it but wasn’t out for long.

First year fishing mouth of fraser... can anyone tell me if Friday and this weekend may be slow due to the rainfall this week? I've heard a steady few days of rain pushes a lot of fish up the river and makes fishing the following few days at NA and SH quite slow. If an experienced guy who has fished this area for many years can chime in that would be really appreciated. Also, how does everything think the fishing has been for this September compared to previous years?

 

[sir-vivor]

Flat calm , no fish,, no Orcas , lots of seals and smoke ... still better than best day at work. and YES after the big rain this weekend will be tougher but still better than work

 

[Ringo]

Can’t wait to fish the Cap mouth on a Saturday afternoon....

At North arm. Flat calm. No fish. A few boats. Lots of smoke but vis is ok. Using spoons today forgot chovies. It’ll be an experiment

Tuesday seems like another tough day which has been the case lately... Started off early sept with med herring and got no love.. then switched over to new crispy anchovies and did started to do better... On tuesday the anchovy wasn't working for me and didn't seem like it was working for others as well since I didn't see any nets out for most of the day. I decided to switch things up and had some med herring that was old and stale. Threw them out and got 2 springs both 15+ pounders within 2 hours. Can't say for sure it was the herring but they didn't seem to mind it that day... perhaps their appetite is for larger bait at the moment? No harm in trying if there is no action at the moment... good luck out there..

Are cohos showing up in numbers around the Point Grey area? They should already be stacked near the mile markers by mid September if It’s good coho year.
