It's either right now. I am not up on what DFO proposes for our April fools joke. I am assuming it will be similar to last year.
Did you get the SportfishBC app? It really makes all the in season BS much easier to understand. Except for daily updates, it works off line, so you can keep track of neighboring areas regs. I find it especially handy when fishing off the west coast, or even moving between areas 17,18,19 and all their sub area regulations.
A week before the Big Derby and the Sidney Anglers' guest speaker tomorrow night is Chris Gurr of Rite Angle. He's doing a presentation on cutting herring strip. Three of the four fish caught last weekend in the Sidney Anglers in House derby were caught on strip.
Meeting is tomorrow night 7:30pm Mary Windspear Center.

2nd Prize was a tie between:
Mike Surydk 17.6 lbs & Don Carter 17.6 lbs

Hidden Weight Prize - James Carter 12.2 lbs

So with Prawning opening tomorrow
Is tartslip not an option for launching ?
I knew it was being worked on but didn’t know it’s was closed to launches
It was a great Derby again. Some of the volunteers have been doing this for 15 years and finding it hard to do the work. Without some younger blood getting involved it may not happen. Hats off to them and let's hope we see some new younger faces helping out if it goes ahead next year.
From Facebook
"A message of Thanks from Brian Dunic, President, Sidney Anglers’ Association:
“Without the efforts of the Sidney Anglers volunteers this event would not be the success it is.
I couldn’t have asked for a harder working, better group of people to ensure that the fundraising event was a success! With their help it made the event and planning fun.
Also a huge thank you to our sponsors and participants who helped raise over $21,000 for salmon enhancement.”
Cheers,
Brian Dunic.
SAA President"

Beauty fish! Did you have to drag bottom for it or was it suspended?

It was in 135ft of water, about 10ft from the bottom
Saturday 20th, Put the prawn traps down and trolled for hopes of a salmon. Too many traps around Wain Rk. Did on back and forth along Lands End and then boogied over to Coal for a couple hrs. NOT A SNIFF! No shortage of bait around. Weird. Prawning was ok, no limits but what we got were big.
