Battled the winds yesterday in Beecher.
Even with the gale, we managed 8 Coho, one clipped, and 4 chinooks, non-clipped. Biggest in the early teens.
Beecher was pushed full of bait by the wind I think. The hot spoon was an outfitter color Wee gee. Most of the fish chucked up 1.5"-2" sandlance looking things.

Looking for confirmation on where springs are allowed to be kept. I've attached my best guess at the location that allows retention, the enclosed blue line, not the line to Aldridge. Could someone please confirm? I will REPORT my luck next week when I am in the area.
Thanks
Thanks

I'm not a Becher local and no expert, but I've popped in there a couple times this year and that would be the boundary as I understand it. Good luck!
FWIW the couple times I stopped in there it was fairly crowded given the small amount of water. To me it seemed like a nice spot to fish if the weather was bad there were only a few other boats in the area--but a bit silly when you get to 10 or 15 boats in there. For my 2 bits, you have a better crack at salmon retention and a more enjoyable day of fishing going after hatchery coho fishing off Beechey Head while possibly C&R the odd spring along the way.

Thank you for the link! I agree about the Coho and C&R the springs... a nice spring is a hell of a by-catch

Looks like Looks like Frazer Island to creyke to lamb is closed starting on August 1st
The way I'm reading the notice is one 45-80cm chinook per day in everywhere in 20-5 but gotta watch out for that new SRKW zone though.
this pdf shows the retention and non retention time and area

Not true. It’s just an offshore that is closed for the SRKW. See FN0692 for regs.

Shouldn’t that map say Otter Point not Muir point?

It sure looks like it to me.
I think Muir point is referring to the little black dot, on what would be the end of the Bluffs. Didn't know that it was called that. Otter Point is further West . Above the printing of Muir Point so it appears to reference Otter point but is referencing the dot on the other end above the "t" in point. An honest mistake. You would have to be fluent in "DFO speak" to read it at first glance.
