We watched him fight it over at tunstall right after I lost my heffer to a seal. We caught up with him back at the launch it was a very nice fish.

There is an awesome thread over in General, under memorial. Dave Steele and his legacy will endure on the West Coast for many years to come, a fantastic guy indeed.

probably an early Squamish fish. Dave Korsch got a 36 few years back around this time I believe .

Fished south of Bowen today with another 10 boats around. It was flat calm, just a fantastic day to be on the water. Hooked 3 fished but all 3 were just a couple of inches undersized. Limited on crab and some prawns. We got checked by DFO, everything looked ok so they went after another boat.
What did they check? Barbless hooks? Fishing license?

We were right beside you guys for most of the day in the Grady with 4 rods out. 4 to the boat,no keepers for us all just under, and lost 3. Got a couple crabs on the way home so that was a bonus. Was a perfect day out that’s for sure
Didn’t see DFO, we were out from 0815 to 230pm

I find it counter productive for DFO to be checking us for barbs and license. If I had to guess I would expect them to issue very few tickets for these infractions since the vast majority of rec fishermen are law abiding. Don't know why they don't put the hours and efforts into making a real impact to those who are seriously killing our resources like the guys who year after year after year set 300+ hundred unmarked illegal crab traps and decimate the crab population in boundary bay and vancouve harbor. Those guys obviously do it under the cover of darkness when DFO are "closed" for business. If they are able to spot the illegal traps, can't imagine it would be too difficult to do a stake out and wait till the guys come back to unload the crabs from the traps.... I know this post is not in the correct forum but this kind of crap and nothing being done about it really gets me... DFO has the resources and capabilities to make a real difference but they choose to be lazy...

they find a high ratio of barbed hooks in the salt water fishery, along with failing to mark your license.

Fished Tunstall yesterday from 10:15am to 1:15pm, through the low tide at around 12:15pm. 5 fish on, 3 to the boat, 1 keeper. Keeper was a beautiful girthy hatchery male red.
Noticed two things worth mentioning. Fish and bait both seemed tucked into the notches of the contours in deeper water than I've caught them in before – 160' - 190', and I stopped getting fish as soon as the sun came out around noon. Maybe a change of light changed the right flasher / lure combos?
My presentation was mostly focused on glow / flash, one glow spoon, one glow hootchie. Both produced fish. Flashers were glow too: blue / purple and black / gold.
Saw DFO out checking boats and pulled out my license to make sure it was marked. Yup. Then they didn't check me.
