2020 Vancouver-Howe Sound-Sechelt Reports Thread

[Paravoffka]

Guess I’m fishing for coho tomorrow.

Please keep us posted on coho, thinking about gouing out on Sunday morning.

 

[Tinny]

Arghhh. We are going to have to rename this thread the “flounder and dogfish” reports page

Trudeau needs a flounder upside the head.

Couple of experienced fisherman buddies told me that ocean salmon fishing is closed. Bruh (every species)

 

[Rooster-Tail]

I also heard local guides received emails saying that there will be a complete shut down of recreational salmon fishing starting from April-July 15th, it may also be closed this year until September! No fishing for salmon. Take this by a grain of salt but I heard this from a credible source, anyone else hear about this?

Protest will go no where. They will play the race card and low Fraser stock card. We need drone footage of the net massacre on the Fraser.

Happy to supply the drone. PM me if interested in a “surveillance” trip to pass along to the media.

 

[sir-vivor]

If needed and avail , I have a few drones and a lisc pilot, I can do some surveillance if I can get the time off work and given the netting location . PM me !

Get that everyone is pissed with the latest regs but there are other threads underway to discuss them. Let's leave this one for what it is intended.

Hi admin can you please advise what forums/threads used to discuss these regs? I have searched and can not find it. The question i would like to post is what exactly does no Chinook fishing allowed mean? There were areas where this was mentioned in the regs. If i go out trolling for coho and get stopped. How exactly are they going to determine if my rig is meant for coho or Chinook? Is there any DFO site that stipulates what the differences are? Any help appreciated

Let's talk Coho. Chinook are dead to me. Anybody getting into ho's yet?

Here’s the link to the other thread:

You’re asking black and white questions but when it’s DFO, it’s always grey. Hopefully Cohos show up in some numbers soon. Let’s switch back to reports.

Heading out to Atkinson now. Will report.

I started another thread for those of you who would like to volunteer to help this Summer:

Fished Bowen yesterday as did Bad Habit. Purple pink hoochie was the go to and hooked up 4 or 5 all nookies. No Coho, although I did lose one just off the stern
might have been a Coho couldn't be sure. Good day for the crab traps though as I they were where I put them ha ha. 6 keepers
On another note anyone want to buy a boat for fish watching?

 

[Trayvreller]

Dropped lines at Atkinson at shortly after 10. Lots of crap in the water so picked up and ran to Cowan. Trolled to RC with 4 lines running shallow looking for Coho. Hit a few non targeted fish, but only one wild coho. Fish hit between 39 and 67, mostly on white hootchie.

 

[Seaducer]

Fished over in Nanaimo yesterday and this am, I hatch 50cm coho with a empty stomach and plenty of shakers with one nook that I would have kept in years past. Irish cream skinny g, no bananas weegee were the most productive.

6 under springs at Tunstall. No Ho’s
