Perhaps it was a point of reference, similar to saying the pink apartments are the boundary for 28–6 when clearly it’s not. But it’s a visible marker.

What am I missing.. is there a partial closure in 28-6 for springs?
Macdonald Beach or Steveston at the end of number 2 road. Good luck.

How is the Fisheries illegal right now? I thought Fisheries referred to the old DFO building which is well within 28-6? Or am I missing something?
It’s not. Get out there and fish.

Do you fish anymore or just log in once or twice a year to preach your gospel
There is a whole forum open to discuss conservation and fisheries politics. This thread is for reporting on actual fishing activities that are currently available and onging. Any discussion from here on in that belongs in the other section will be removed. Posting openings and changes to DFO regulations here is fine, but only for notification purposes. Members come to these threads to see fishing reports and they don't want to see everything cluttered with other topics. The summer fishery is coming close to the end. Get out and enjoy it while you can and share your stories if you so choose.

Reached Cowan pt around 8 dropped the lines. Shallower riger around 100 ft. Green and white skinny g with watermelon green flasher. hooked up a decent hatch coho. Deeper rod by a bit 120ft had a great fight to what felt to be a solid nook but I got over zealous and brought em to to the top water too quickly (rookie).this was a orange flasher and a lime teaser head with a small herring crammed in there. Safe to say the big fella breached and popped off. Another hookup on a hatch coho a little later, lucky me! . 2/3 on hookups. Headed back to west van to drag along the pink apartment floor to no avail. And then zipped home early to the wife and kids by 2. Got home inspected a teaser head I had pulled up and swapped out and saw that it had been totally crushed through. Pretty neat the bite strength of some of the pigs down there, Great success. Try again next week

Great pic!
If you launch at Wellington just be ready for the current if you launch on a big ebb - obvious but have seen a few panicky moments there.

Got out yesterday 7-11am at 28-6 and 28-9. One bite around the cap otherwise quiet. Lost one and boxed 2 64cm chinook at Atkinson. Was a grind, bite seemed to come on for 1-2 hours then quiet. Found our fish at 40 feet on anchovies.

I went out to Thrasher today (Nice and calm but bump on the way back) to set a prawn trap in about 260' north of Thrasher, just to see if I'd catch anything. I was out from 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM. Around 1:30 PM, while trolling the area, I noticed a bunch of boats near where I had set the trap so I cruised over to check on it, and my float was still there, so I moved on and kept trolling.
When I returned around 3 PM to retrieve the trap the float was still there. As I was pulling it up, I noticed it felt unusually light. I reached the 5-pound weight and the realized there was no trap (brand New). I used a brand new carabiner to attach my trap and it was still there. It’s hard to believe the trap could have unhooked itself; someone must have taken it. I wouldn’t have minded if someone had just taken the catch, but to steal the whole trap is just unacceptable. Well I guess the bait I used must have work.
This is the reason why I have a hard time spending money on traps.
6 wilds 2 hatch and lost 1 nice chinook (net got snagged with the hooks. problems when fishing by yourself) Anchovies 60ft and white hoochie 44 ft. 300 - 600 feet of water

If I drug it up from Sandheads and netted it in 28-6 is that ok?Poacher!
In all seriousness I was in tight well north of the tankers but I did see a couple boats well put past the point haha.
