They would be fishing live rockfish. They have quota therefore no closure like rec. Sector.

Same. 10-12 and only had shakers to the boat. Had one huge hit that popped the clip but was gone before I got to it. Back to normal winter fishing at the bell. I saw a couple keepers come over the rails. So the odd fish is still around, of course.

That hot fishing was fun. Hopefully they come back before April. Saw you out there. New rig looks great.

The fleet of us have thinned them out.
Defense has fish as does Grace.

Or, you can spend the same amount of gas and head to Gabriola and fish Thrasher to Whalebone and Entrance and had a blast trying to keep rods in the water. GO WEST young man!

I was out at Passage today and a couple guys in a blue hulled 20ish Hewescraft-like boat buzzed me within 50 feet when there wasn't another boat around for miles. I was very close to shore showing someone a house. They had no business being that close to me. Couple older Caucasian gentlemen who really needed to get a good look at me for some reason. They also happened to drop their prawn traps right in the middle of the Sponge Reef Closure area. I reported it to DFO. Uncalled for behavior all around.

No but I got his name and phone number off the float and a good description of the guy. As well as pictures and screenshots of my location. I was so pissed off that he did that I almost chased him down but decided against it. Wooooooh-saaaaaaah
