We got out to Tunstall and Grace. Tunstall was pretty slow. We moved at 1215 to grace. It was a lot of action. One big lingcod, released. About 10 Chinook that were under 45 cm. 2 that were bigger. One nice fish that got sealed. It was an ap spoon. A lucky one, and the seal got it but we got the bow of the boat quite close to the rocks in an attempt to get the spoon back.
We screwed up prawning because we drifted over a shallow point right as we dropped. I bet we only got down 170, not our desired240 ft... no prawns really worth mentioning. But great day.

Wow ,awesome day ... I think will give it a go tomorrow. I have been launching from sunset . Love that Marina! High or low tide launch has lots of water. "Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats."

Doesn't that not open until July or August either way?

FN0311 seems to say we get what we had last year...Northern GS opens for slot limit retention July 15, and Southern GS opens Aug 1. The inlets will be open for slot limit on wilds and unlimited on hatchery (Jervis, Toba, Ramsay Arm and Bute). FN0301 says Area 28 is closed until further notice.
All notices seems to say basically the same "The plan is to start the 2022 fishing season (beginning April 1, 2022) with measures in place at the beginning of last season, until further notice. As these are interim measures, a further announcement on possible revised management actions will be announced in a subsequent fishery notice." I didn't see anything about the opening in WV like last season. That will likely be a July bone thrown out again.
Sorry for the non fishing report info, I hope to be in a position to revert back with more on my failures to convert tomorrow

Started at the bell, donut for 2 hrs of work. Moved over to hole in the wall after the banger report from yesterday. Right at the tide change had a dbl header (could only manage one rod, running solo). Beauty 64cm hatchery. Still out here with 8 or so boats. Flat calm. Hard to beat this sport!

Honestly I haven’t look thru regs yet. The guys at Pacific Angler told me on Saturday. I assume they know their Shapnel given they guide.
Yup that's the combo that's been getting most of my hits.

Would the closure go into effect March 31st at Midnight or April 1st midnight? Just wondering if Friday is still open or not.FN0311 seems to say we get what we had last year...Northern GS opens for slot limit retention July 15, and Southern GS opens Aug 1. The inlets will be open for slot limit on wilds and unlimited on hatchery (Jervis, Toba, Ramsay Arm and Bute). FN0301 says Area 28 is closed until further notice.

Thursday midnight is the closure cut-off. No chinook retention on Friday. Not too hard to find the fishing notice on DFO's website:
"The plan is to start the 2022 fishing season (beginning April 1, 2022) with measures in place at the beginning of last season, until further notice. As these are interim measures, a further announcement on possible revised management actions will be announced in a subsequent fishery notice.
The management measures for Fraser Chinook are outlined below.
Southern BC waters: Vancouver Area (Areas 28,29)
Strait of Georgia - South - Area 28 and Subarea 29-8 (excluding those portions listed as closed below):
April 1, 2022, until further notice: Chinook non-retention."
