Bite came on again and this time the mix favoured the hatcheries. Boxed 3 more and hit a couple nice springs 75 and 76 cm, DNA sampled and released. A great day of fishing with a humpback show to round things out!
It’s ridiculous. New Mayor gets private gym studio in city hall while claiming he wants to make Vancouver world class. We went up to Sunshine Coast for 3 days like we have done for many many years and could not get a 3 day parking pass for car and trailer at the Vanier boat Ramp parking stalls. We bought 3 consecutive 1 day car and trailer and lined them up on the dash board costing $90 but on our return today found 2 tickets for another $69 per ticket from easy park. I’ve lived in Vancouver all my life and taxes are higher by over 8% a year and services to our residents are just going down. You can’t even call anybody to get this straightened out. Takes all the fun out of it but maybe that’s what they want. By the way the ramp still sucks and is a far cry away from anything remotely resembling World Class. If anybody out there has any idea how to straighten this out for me and others I’m all ears.
I agree the ramps could be better, but they're run by the Parks Board, which the Mayor's trying to get rid of. Personally, I can't figure out why we have a separate parks board unlike every other city in the province.
Go McDonald beach next time. Can park there for multiple days .
I tried dealing with an easy park ticket there and nobody ever got back to me. I had to bring my boat from burrard marina to the ramp when I sold it. It was December and everything was icy so the marina launch was closed. I left my truck beside the ramp at Vanier, RAN over to burrard, got in the boat and drove it over to vanier. 10 minutes tops. By the time I got back I had a ticket, not a car or a person in sight. Infuriating.
The first 10 days of September
The first year of the new regs it died right off after day 2. It was better the past few years.
If there is no rain the fish will stack up and stick around. The more rain we see in late August and early Sep, the fewer fish will be there to witness our efforts.
At that time, between T10 and Sandheads, you can fill an empty license for chinook in a week, even with average fishing.
last year was on fire springs for awhile due to the dry weather
Pics are mandatory, don't cha know!?!?
South Bowen closer to RC. Out deeper in a well known spot named by some famous guy on here.
Could have been a little flatter for that thing lol
That is perfectly reasonable for a 16' boat! It's the motorcycle of fishing! It's all about the feel man and the wind in your hair.....and your ability to balance on one leg at a time.......only have one person lean over the rail at a time.....oh who am I kidding! A floating condominium is nice to fish out of too. Plus the BBQ can be bigger.
